Philippine Independence’:
“…taking into consideration that their inhabitants being already weary of
bearing the ominous yoke of Spanish domination on account of the arbitrary
arrests and hash treatment practiced by the Civil Guard to the extent of
causing death with the connivance and even with the express orders of their
commanders, who sometimes went to the extreme of ordering the shooting
of prisoners under the pretext that they were attempting to escape, in
violation of the provisions of the Regulations of their Corps, which abuses
were unpunished and on account of the unjust deportations, especially those
decreed by General Blanco, of eminent personages and of high social
position, at the instigation of the Archbishop and friars interested in keeping
them out of the way for their own selfish and avaricious purpose,
deportations which are quickly brought about by a method of procedure
more execrable than that of a decision being rendered without a hearing of
the persons accused.”

3. History has already turned into a complex and dynamic discipline. Its

draw knowledge that may be useful to them. Explain the relationship of
history with the disciplines of economics and political science.
