This text is a political proposal written by Apolinario Mabini during the late nineteenth century. It serves as a foundational document regarding the establishment of the Philippine Republic. For a learner of Filipino, this book is demanding due to its archaic vocabulary and formal, complex sentence structures typical of the period. The themes focus on national identity, civic duty, and moral philosophy. Reading this requires patience, as the language reflects the intellectual and political discourse of the revolutionary era in the Philippines.

Questions about this book
What level of Filipino do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 18 min at a native pace, spread over 15 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
