The course analyzes
Philippine history from the multiple perspectives through the lens of selected
primary sources coming from various disciplines and different genres. Students
are given opportunities to analyze the author’s background and main arguments,
compare different points of view, identify biases and examine the evidences
presented in the document. The discussions will tackle additional topics in
history and other interdisciplinary themes that will deepen and broaden their
understanding of Philippine political, economic, cultural, social, scientific
and religious history. Priority is given to primary materials that could help
students develop their analytical and communication skills. The end goal is to
develop the historical and critical consciousness of the students so that they
will become versatile, articulate, broadminded, morally upright and responsible
citizens. This course includes mandatory topics on the Philippine Constitution,
agrarian reform, and taxation.
