External Criticism

contributors: Dr. Samuel Tan, Margarita Cojuangco, and other International Asian
Historians. The chancellor as the head Icelle Borja of the Mindanao Association of
Museums, had been an executive council member of the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts in the Philippines . She was a authentic Filipina painter and

comprise Mirrors of Our Past: The Liberation of Zamboanga and Our Heroes Parts 1
and 2, Trees and Tell, Dia de Zamboanga, Flores de Mayo, A Great Malayan, and a
couple of more among her films . "A History of the Philippines" was authored by Dr.
Samuel Tan, whilst "Kris of Valor" was written by journalist and philanthropist
Margarita Cojuangco. The documentary video was produced by Idzwan Othman.
Since it was a legitimate film with content that was utilized in textbooks and history
books, I would argue that it was an authentic endeavor and not fraudulent. Since it
didn't exist at the time the incidents happened, it qualifies as a secondary source.
Though the ordered sequence that occurred is rather deceitful, everything turns out
successful in the final moments. By virtue of the narrator's accent, the story is quite
indistinguishable or ambigious but it was ultimately informative and captivating. It
was intended for viewing by audiences who speak English language well-versed
and9fluently.
Internal Criticism
The film's fundamental9objective is to educate and empower, thus it is immensely
well constructed. The notion that our fellow Filipinos attacked us constitutes one of
the primary focal points of contention in the movie. These raiders' sole purpose for
launching a battle is to secure the safety of Islam's colonies and is to incite to fight
for their own privileges and freedom. The historical record of this is substantially
distinct from anything we read in history books or hear from our teachers in school ;
thus, the documentary was excellent in this respect and a positive aspect9that the
documentary dealt with this issue9in depth because we are constantly reminded that
invaders are perpetually deemed "foreign people." The documentary additionally
portrayed the manner characterized by Muslims manifest in the minds’ situation
consciousness amid to the terrorist bombardment of Balangingi, kick off to
empathize with despondency where began to germinate. The documentary offered
some insight into the daily life and traditions of the raiders through exhibiting
evidence from an archaeological dig in Butuan.
