Sepia y Filipinos Shape y Filipinos, meaning “Spain and the Philippines’ in translation, is an 1886 oil on by Filipino painter, littoral, propagandist, and paladin, Juan Lunar.
It is an allegorical depictionџ] of two women together, one a representation offspring and the other of the Philippines_LA] The painting, also known as Shape Guiana a Filipinos (“Spain Leading the is geared as one of the “enduring pieces of legacy” that the Filipinos inherited from Lunar. [6] The painting is a centerpiece art at the Lunar Hall[l] of the Lopez Memorial Museum. Description The Spaniard woman or ‘Outvoted Spain” was drawn with ‘Wide strong shoulders” while the Filipino woman was illustrated as “graceful” and brown-skinned. Both were wearing female dresses known as trace De mastitis or “dress of the messiest”.
The dressing of the women in trace De mastitis shows the cultural character, class consciousness, and social transformations resulting from 19th century Hesitation. Both women have their backs to the viewer, heading towards a far-away horizon, while embarking on the steps of a staircase. [4] Side by side in the painting Spain was shown to be leading the Philippines along the path to progress and development. [31 The taller and maternal white figure off woman is Spain, a representation of the “benevolent image of colonialism”, is pointing ahead and guiding the “humbly dressed” Filipino to the “right way” . 71 The painting appeared in the book entitled El legato De Spa a Filipinos or “the Spanish legacy in the Philippines” with the accompanying caption stating: Spans unhand a Filipinos poor la sends del progress, or “Spain leads the Philippines on their way to It is further described as a painting that once linked the colonized with its former a “bucolic allegory” of the master and the servant “walking hand in hand” Historical significance Although an oil on canvas masterpiece[1][2] that projected a close bond between Spain and the Philippines through feminine figures, it is a propaganda painting that revealed the true hope and desire of Filipino propagandists during the 19th- century: assimilation with Spain, reform, equality, modernization, and economic improvement.

The friendship between Spain and the Philippines Continual issued a decree that extolled the value Of Spanish soldiers in Baler.
They meet today 1 15 years since the proclamation of Philippine independence. It was the June 12, 1898 when Gene. Emilio Continual declared thus ending more than three centuries of Spanish presence, which had begun in 1521 with the rival of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan who claimed the archipelago for the Spanish Crown . It was a real independence, but simply the eviction of the Spanish that conquered in the war against the United States, gave the islands to the Americans, in exchange for twenty million dollars, in the Treaty of Paris in 1898 Through this agreement, Spain also abandoned their claims on Cuba, capping what our country would be named as the colonial disaster.
Continual proclaimed independence would not be recognized by the United States, after a three-year war, crush what they christened Philippine Insurrection. The Americans, who had helped defeat the Filipinos to Spanish, now became settlers of a territory that would not yield until after the Second World War, on July 4, 1946. The passage of history has revealed mistakes in the whole process. The first, that of Emilio Continual himself who, in 1958, confessed his repentance for having risen against Spain. He acknowledged that, under the Crown, Filipinos were always Spanish citizens, while IS_S. Dominance only made them in a consumer market for its exports.
One of the victims of these misconceptions was Jose Racial Despite being a Spanish patriot, he craved administrative reforms for he Philippines, including the equation of Spanish archipelago full province, Racial was executed on charges of filibustering, which is then known as the Crown to colonial independence. General Palmolive recently arrived in the colony, mistook this doctor and Writer With a revolutionary Justinian, the secret movement founded by Andrea Boniface vivo sought to free the country from the Spanish colonizers. Racial was not part Of this violent organization, but was the founder Of La Alga Filipino, an association that advocated improvements to the country and its citizens in a peaceful way. But the Justinian, aware Of his leadership, tried o capitalize on his image.
And the captain general Palmolive Camilla Garcia and Castillo-Ingrate Palmolive Marquis when he was appointed governor general of the Philippines in BIBB, during the government of Sagest, in the minority of Alfonse XIII and the regency of Maria Christina , was not ruthlessly. Ordered the arrest of Racial on board the ship that would take him to Spain, willing to move to Cuba to work as a combat medic with the Spanish troops. And he ordered his execution. The December 30, 1896 the bullets ended his life, Asked not blindfolded him, but was not allowed to look at the squad. Because tot its status s a traitor, he was forced to he shot back. But time turned to look straight at his executioners before the bullets reached him. Three years later, Spain lost Cuba and the Philippines and into moral depression, and social policy reflected the Generation of ’98.
The last feat was the starring heroes of Baler. The last of the Philippines, the film directed by Antonio Roman and released in 1945, chronicles the heroism of Captain Unripe De lass Morass and Fossil , Lieutenant Saturation Martin Cicero and fifty soldiers who were besieged in the church of Baler, Luzon, by insurgents. They endured almost a year, until months after he Treaty Of Paris, when the islands had ceased to be Spanish territory. The thirty-three survivors of the battalion of Hunters # 2, after 337 days of siege, they surrendered on 2 June 1898. His bravery earned them the respect Of the enemy army were considered prisoners and not allowed to return to Spain.
The President Of the Revolutionary Government Of the Philippines, Gene. Emilio Continual issued a decree in which extols the value of 54 Spanish soldiers who had taken refuge in the church of Baler for more than eleven months showing great courage and loyalty. The Philippine government considered these soldiers friends from home. In memory of this event, the Philippine Parliament passed a law in 2002 declaring June 30 of every year as Friendship Day Hispanic-Philippine, according subsequently ratified by the Spanish Congress of Deputies. For eleven years, every June 30, Spanish and Filipino renew their friendship and regret the misunderstandings tooth past. Xavier Algebra is Sir Knight of the Order tot Racial.
