While most of the present generation of Filipinos may be aware that the "cedula" or residence certificate was among the causes of the 1896 revolution against Spanish rule in the Philippines, some people could be wondering why such a certificate remains in use in the country today.
There is actually a very big difference between that 1896 "cedula" and the community tax certificate (CTC) being collected by local government units (LGUs) at present, or after 125 years.
According to the book "Philippine History and Government" by Dr. Gregorio F. Zaide and his daughter, Dr. Sonia M. Zaide, when Katipunan leader Andres Bonifacio tore up his Spanish-issued "cedula" (residence tax or tribute certificate) one day in August 1896, he shouted: "This is my answer to Spanish tyranny; let us fight for freedom."
