"The course aims to expose students to different facts and facets of Philippine history
through the lens of eyewitnesses. Rather than rely on secondary materials such as textbooks,
which is the usual approach in teaching Philippine history, different types of primary sources
will be used-written (qualitative and quantitative), oral, visual, audio-visual, digital-covering
various aspects of Philippine life (political, economic, social, cultural). The end goal is to enable
students to understand and appreciate our rich past by deriving insights from those who were
actually present at the time of the event.
Context analysis, on the other hand, applies appropriate techniques depending on the type
of source (written, oral, visual). In the process students will be asked, for example, to identify
the author's main argument or thesis, compare points of view, identify biases, and evaluate the
author's claim based on the evidences presented or other available evidence at the time. The
course will guide the students through their reading and analysis of the texts and require them
to write reaction essays of varied length and present their ideas in other ways (debate format,
powerpoint presentation, letter to the editor of the source, etc). "
