THE FILIPINOS WERE NOT UNITED.INSTEAD OF HELPING EACHOTHER TO OUST THE SPANIARDS , THE FILIPINOS FOUGHT EACH OTHER. SO THE SPANIARDS USED THE FILIPINOS LACK OF UNITY TO CONTINUE OPPRESSING THEM. 2. THERE WERE NO NATIONAL LEADERS WHO UNITED THE PEOPLE.THERE WERE NO GOM-BUR-ZA, RIZAL, BONIFACIO, OR AGUINALDO THEN.THESE NATIONAL LEADERS ONLY CAME IN THE 1 9 TH C E N T U R Y . 18. IV. Historical Values 1. UNITEDWE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. IF FILIPINOS DO NOT HELP EACH OTHER SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS, THEN WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.2. IF OFFICIALS ABUSE THEIR POWERS AND OPPRESSPEOPLE, THEY WILL FALL FROM POWER. 19. Presented by: ThanksFor Gerald Ivan Tamayo Jonjie Mar MejiaWatching!!!
