showed his fellow Filipinos how rich the Filipino culture is even before the time of stay of the Spaniards. He further explained that during the pre-colonial time, the Filipinos were able to trade freely with other nation. This was written by Andres Bonifacio to let Filipinos know that the stay of the Spaniards had grave effects to the Philippines. He wrote this article to fire up the Filipinos’ sense of patriotism in the hope that this in turn would lead to the active involvement of others to remove the Philippines from under Spain’s rules.
