Noong 1898, naging pangkaraniwan ang eksenang ito sa buong bansa -
"At 5:00 pm on 24 December 1898, 333 years of Spanish rule in Cebu came to an end when the Spanish flag was lowered at Fort San Pedro. Montero turned over the government [to the Filipinos] ... It was an emotion-charged moment and, in a fit of despair, some Spaniards tore their own flag after it was lowered. In the dusk, the ceremonies over, the Spaniards and their dependents moved out in a lonely convoy of boats bound for Zamboanga, their way station for the final withdrawal to Spain."

Sa kasamaang palad ay kakaunti ang larawan na nakuha noon patungkol sa mga patalim ng mga Tagalog. Ang nasa itaas (Laguna, ca. 1910) ay naglalarawan ng pangkaraniwang itak, ng gamit sa trabaho at pati na rin para sa pagtatanggol ng sarili.
Nguni't napakaraming uri ng itak o kalis ang ginamit at ginagamit ng mga Tagalog. Ang lahat na ito ay kasalukuyang pang sinasaliksik.
