This document summarizes the beginnings of Filipino nationalism from the mid-1700s to 1900. It describes several key events that contributed to the rise of Filipino identity and nationalism, including revolts led by Diego Silang and Juan de la Cruz Palaris against Spanish colonial rule in the 1760s. It also discusses the growth of a Filipino middle class in the 1800s as the Spanish opened ports to foreign trade and the introduction of modern machinery boosted the sugar industry. The execution of priests GomBurZa in 1872 for their involvement in the Cavite Mutiny helped foster a sense of shared Filipino identity among witnessing Filipinos across ethnic groups.
