WHY ALL THESE

REVOLTS ARE FAILED?

Absence ofnationalism

Lack of leaders to unite the whole archipelago.

Regional hostility

Archipelagic nature of the Philippines prevented a steady communication in the provinces.

Superiority of the Spanish arms

The betrayals and assasinations of rebel leaders.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EARLY

REVOLTS

Not with standing their failure, the

early Filipino revolts were of

vast significance.

Indubitably, they proved that the Filipinos

were not satisfied to remain as oppressed, dependent people and

that if given a chance to do so, they never

hesitated or faltered to strike for dignity, liberty

and happiness.

Moreover, out of the ashes of the unsuccessful revolts of the Filipino

arose the spirit of dynamic nationalism.

The failure of their periodic uprisings taught them the bitter lesson that they could never free themselves from Spanish misrule

by struggling separately as separate tribes, but that they

had to unite and fight the common welfare of the father

land
