100–200 words. Refer to the rubric for the scoring.
1. Why do you think are conflicts inevitable in the presentation of history? What do you think is the best
thing to do to ensure accuracy in our history?
Since history is subjective, contradictions are inevitable in the expression of history. Each person has their own
interpretation of events, leading to different opinions and perspectives. Moreover, historical events are often
complex and multifaceted, making it difficult to present a complete and unbiased account. Additionally, the
purpose of presenting the history will depend on the audience and the presenter's agenda. This can lead to the
selective presentation or manipulation of facts to support a particular narrative or ideology. Finally, conflict in
storytelling highlights the importance of critical thinking and studying multiple sources of information in order
to gain a more complete understanding of past events. Historical accuracy is critical to understanding the past and
shaping the future. We must rely on reliable sources, gather information, and avoid bias to ensure accuracy. It is
important to cite primary sources such as journals, letters, and official documents. Also, multiple perspectives
and interpretations of events should be considered. Education plays an important role in promoting historical
accuracy by instilling critical thinking skills and encouraging research. Finally, we must admit that this story is
not static and is constantly evolving as new evidence emerges. By following these steps, you can ensure that your
understanding of the story is accurate and well-founded.

The documentary entitled “Pre-colonial Philippines & Things You Might Not Know About Our History”
presented a comprehensive and enlightening view of our culture and history in the pre-colonial period. It
highlighted the richness and diversity of our cultural heritage, as well as the social, economic, and political
systems that existed before the arrival of the colonizers. As a student who has watched the documentary, I see our
culture and history in the pre-colonial period as vibrant and dynamic, with a strong sense of community, identity,
and tradition. The documentary showed how our ancestors lived in harmony with nature, and how they developed
their own systems of governance, trade, and agriculture. They had their own beliefs, customs, and practices that
were rooted in their respect for the environment and their reverence for their ancestors. However, the arrival of
the colonizers brought about significant changes in our culture and history, leading to the loss of some of our
traditions, practices, and beliefs. This is why it is important for us as students to keep our culture alive in our
modern days. One way to do this is to learn more about culture and history, not just in school, but through personal
inquiry and community involvement. You can also support local industries that promote cultural heritage. B.

1. After watching the documentaries, reflect on the history of the Philippine Colonization. Discuss your
reaction to the accounts presented.
The colonial history of the Philippines is complex and painful. After watching a documentary on the subject, it
becomes clear that the Philippines has endured oppression, exploitation, and violence by foreign powers for
centuries. Spanish colonization of the Philippines began in 1521 and lasted over 300 years. During this time, the
Spaniards imposed their language, religion, and culture on the natives. Filipinos were forced to convert to
Catholicism and faced harsh working conditions. After defeating Spain in the war, the United States took control
of the Philippines in 1898. American rule was marked by continued exploitation and violence against Filipinos
seeking independence. The legacy of colonization can still be felt in the Philippines today. Due to its colonial
past, the country suffers from poverty, corruption, and political instability. It is important to reflect on this history,

1. On a personal note, why do you think is tax important for our government? Ask yourself, where do our
taxes go?
Taxation is an important aspect of any government's tax policy. It provides the government with the income it
needs to fund a wide variety of public services and infrastructure projects that are vital to the well-being of its
citizens. Taxation also helps redistribute wealth and reduce income inequality. In addition, taxes play an important
role in regulating economic activity. By adjusting tax rates, governments can encourage or discourage certain
behaviors such as investment, savings, and spending. This helps stabilize the economy during recessions and
inflation. Moreover, taxation is an important tool for promoting social well-being and environmental
sustainability. Governments can use taxes to encourage individuals and businesses to adopt environmentally
friendly practices and to support social programs such as health care and education. Overall, taxation is an integral
part of a functioning government. It provides necessary income for public services, regulates economic activity,
and promotes social well-being and environmental sustainability while reducing income inequality
