II. PRESENTATION (Lesson Proper)

4. American Colonial Period
The history of the Philippines from 1898 to 1946 describes the period of
the American colonization of the Philippines. It began with the outbreak of the
Spanish–American War in April 1898, when the Philippines was still a colony of
the Spanish East Indies, and concluded when the United States formally recognized the
independence of the Republic of the Philippines on July 4, 1946.

With the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898, Spain ceded the
Philippines to the United States for $20 million, thereby beginning the era of American
colonization. United States improved the economy and system of government, where the
Filipinos had greater political participation and more economic gains. The American rule
caused great marks of “colonial mentality” and the materialistic and individualistic ways
among many Filipinos. Where the Americans gaining control our country, they make a
law to hold and banned the printing, writing, and publication of materials advocation the
Philippine Independence day known as the Sedition Law. This law was enacted on
November 4, 1901 with the intent of forbidding Filipinos from advocating for separation
from the United States or for their independence. Even if the means that would be used
were peaceful, it was prohibited and even was punishable by death or imprisonment.
Philippine theater is composed of pre-colonial performance traditions as well as colonial
influences from Spain and the USA.
Some common subject matter tackled by Filipino theater focuses on
the historical background of the Philippines and the relationship between
the Philippines and the United States. Some Filipino American productions provides
personal, societal and cultural perspective from the past to now called Drama
Simbolico.. these one-act plays came to represent a deep and profound yearning for
freedom echoed not only the nationalist sentiments of their playwrights but also served
as medium for POLITICAL PROTEST, openly attacking the Americans.
These are the three(3) main Literature Artists
1. Juan Abad's – February 8, 1872 – December 24, 1932
Tanikalang Guinto or "Golden Chain" May 10, 1902
Abad was barely finished writing Tanikalang Guinto, when
the Katipunan uprising broke out at Pugad Lawin on August 23,
1896. The uprising soon spread to other provinces and
metamorphosed into the Philippine Revolution. Abad burned most of
his papers, left his post as compositor at the Jesuit press, and joined
the Revolution. Abad joined the staff of the paper La
Independencia on its flight out of Manila, and served as teniente
factor in the Malolos government. When the second phase of the
Philippine Revolution began and the capital at Malolos was
abandoned, Abad joined the staff of the paper La Republica Filipina to San Fernando,
Pampanga. Abad used the pen names Inumaga, Daba, and K. Ulayaw.
Golden Chain is about Ligaya (light; the spirit of independence), daughter of Dalita
(extreme poverty and suffering; the Mother Country), who is forbidden to see Kaulayaw
(sweetheart; Filipino hero) by her uncle Maimbot (greedy; the American insular
government). Ligaya receives a golden bracelet from Maimbot that becomes a chain to
bind her to his control.
When Abad’s finished his written play of Tanikalang Guinto (Golden Chain) and he
started to plays in theatre, the former which, caused his arrest and trial.

2. Juan Matapang Cruz's

Hindi ako Patay or "I Am Not Dead“May 14, 1903
May have been written and produced earlier, but was presented at the Teatro Nueva
Luna in Malabon on the night of May 8, 1903. In the play, Karangalan (honor) loves
Tangulan (defender, patriot), and resists Macamcam (one who usurps power; the
American insular government). Tangulan is thought killed in a duel with Macamcam, but
he springs up and declares, “I am not dead!” The red sun on a Katipunan flag rises
behind the stage, representing freedom won, and the loyal Filipinos take the villains and
traitors captive.
3. Aurelio Tolentino's
Kahapon Ngayon, at Bukas or“ Yesterday, Today, and
Tomorrow“ May 8, 1903 .
He had helped in the distribution of La Solidaridad and other
propaganda literature, and had been one of the original members of
the Katipunan, assisting Emilio Jacinto and others in the printing of
Katipunan forms and certificates of membership. He was with Jacinto,
Andres Bonifacio and others at Pamitinan Cave in Montalban, where
the first cry for independence was heard on April 10, 1895. Shortly
after the start of the revolution, he was imprisoned for nine months in Bilibid, and
tortured.
Tolentino was charged with sedition, and at the trial (he was defended by a young
lawyer, Manuel Quezon), was sentenced to two years of imprisonment and a fine of
$2000 gold. Rafael Palma and two American lawyers appealed the sentence, but on
March 6, 1906, the Supreme Court upheld the decision and found Tolentino guilty as
charged. The Court ruled that the drama

In 1915, Lino Catillejo and Jesus Araullo authored A Modern Filipino, the first Filipino
play written in English. It play the important role of a modern Filipina.

theater introduced and became popular in the
Philippines during the 1920s.

comedy skits, chorus girls, magic acts, and stand-up
comic acts would be known locally as BODABIL.

Demand for Artists

The demand for artists who could do illustrations in textbooks or
graphic design for product labels thus emerged through the
literature and visual arts needed by government for publication
different materials. Landscape Paintings became popular as
travel souvenirs, especially those that captured the exotic
qualities of Philippine terrain. Specially Portraits were still
favored by the public officials, usually depicting them in dignified
poses.

3. The Context of Art

A. Artist’s Background
Age, gender, culture, economic conditions, social environment, and disposition
affect art production.
The mode of production , which encompasses the kind of materials accessible to
the artists as well as the conditions surrounding labor, also hope the work
produced by the artist.
A traditional artist’s resources differ from an artist reared in a highly urbanized
environment like Manila. Initiation and training in art might be different too.
B. Nature
Nature can be seen as a source of inspiration and a wellspring of materials for art
production.
C. Everyday Life
Philippine traditional art has always been an integral part of daily life. Its
significance lies not only in its aesthetic appearance but also in its functionality
and its value to the community that produced it.
D. Society, Politics, and Economy, and History
Changes in the society, politics and economy affects artists, the work that they do,
and the structures that support their production.
E. Mode of Reception
Aside from considering our personal identity as a perceiver of art as well as the
other contexts, it is also important to note when, where, and how art is
encountered.
