Answer:
1. Historical Background
- "If you want to dins out who is right, open your books, read the answer very well, and which of you gave the one exactly like it. One of you may win with his fists, but that would not prove that his answer is correct." This is in reference to what Jose Rizal did. He fought with a pen and not with a sword. He wrote books to open the eyes of the people as to what the Spanish colonizers were doing to them at that time.
2. Cultural Background
- "Lope with the curly head, quick with his fists, quickly rolled the sleeves of his camisa de Chino." The naked torso of the indigenous men was gradually sheathed in a full skirt, exchanging half nudity for a collarless garment with long, cuffless sleeve at certain, likely fluid moments in the last four hundreds years. Many colonized Indios discovered the Camisa, or camisa in Spanish, as a means of clothing. The camisa, made of light, usually translucent materials like sinamay, pia cloth, or cotton, became standard wear for those in the lower social strata who had to work in the suffocating heat of the tropics. The camisa was eventually devoted to the many decorative skills of the local weaver. Fine embroidery, supplementary weft floats (suksuk), cut-openwork embroidery (calado and doble calado), and pleating pockets helped to indigenize a shirt cut that was once thought to have originated in China. The Camisa de Chino was also popular in the nineteenth century - metamorphose into the Filipino Barong Tagalog with the addition of the collar, cuffs, and elaborations such as shirts and pleats.
3. Environment
- "Everybody knew everybody else in Dapitan." This is a proof that Filipinos are friendly and warm people. It is a typical trait in Filipinos that is expressed in their private lives, public workplaces, and relationships with neighbors.
