  Philippine History (UM)

  Authors: Deanna Febra Gillera Cantal,  Roen Caesar S. Cardinal,  Lindsey C. Espino,  Maribeth Quezon Galindo

  Many students may think that its irrelevant to study Philippine history subject since they could not change the past nor they have not seen the relevance

  subject itself and its relation to the course that they take up. Others may think that a boring subject full of memorization with dates, places, persons, events and others. Thus, this kind of perception may be placed in the context of students experiences on how they think, they look and they feel about the subject.

  A glimpse that Philippines was controlled by foreign colonizers for almost 400 years that during colonization period Filipinos were not taught their own history but rather they were taught the history of colonizers WHILE they were in our country and seemingly, Filipinos were trained like a parrot which resulted students less understanding and less appreciation of our own history.

  Hopefully, as students explore the history of the Philippines, they may see the fact that as a true blooded Filipinos, the fact that every generation was and will always be a product of History, Philippine history is still and will always be a relevant subject :1 regardless of what course a student takes up. Students may realize whatever mistakes 1 in the past are, the present generation may not repeat it and the future generation will be freed from the bondage of ignorance, tyranny and slavery. Students may develop a deep sense of commitment to serve God and love our country.

  Likewise, this textbook, may challenge new breed of historians and history teachers to go beyond dates, places, persons, events etc. Teaching the how's and why's of historical events will train students to be analytical and critical minded individual. Further, teachers may have seen the importance of contextualization so that students may have developed a deeper understanding of their origins, interpret historical events in a broader perspective and develop in them to be actively involved in non-violent; manner to any issues which have affected Filipino lives.

  Philippine History (BLUE)

  Authors: Efren L. Quiray,  Felipe D. Romanillos,  Emily B. Baluyot,  Ronel P. Dela Cruz,  Edgar G. Galang,  Berlyn F. PA-AT

  Re-creating or putting fresh life into a story is a new way of looking at the established history. Human history must not be told like a dead thing. It must be narrated with life so that learning will be interesting. Further, it must not be viewed from one angle only It must be examined from different perspectives with life. There is emotion, truth, and action. Hence, the application of outcomes-based teaching and learning or OBTL approach in teaching Philippine History is suggested. This is a departure from the usual narrate-listen approach. In OBTL, the students are not just observers or listeners but they are actors themselves. The students will have a chance to play the roles of heroes or historical personages long dead in the past.

  The usual story about Bonifacio, for instance, is repeatedly told in our history books without considering other angles and possibilities of the events surrounding his lifetime that led to his tragic end. The pattern is one-dimensional so that other facets of his life are not included as part of his history. From this old pattern, this new shift of re-creating or putting fresh life into the story• of Bonifacio and the Katipunan is introduced as a new direct operating system — from the locked type of learning to democratic type. Here, other possibilities of learning are applied to give students freedom to think and present new perspectives.

  Why should we use this new approach? If our history were written alive, reading it would be interesting. The story about our heroes' fight for freedom must be made easy to read by the students. One way of doing this is putting fresh life into their stories. The significant achievements of our heroes such as Rizal, Bonificio, and many others must be portrayed with touch, sight, taste, hearing, and feeling. This will make written history more Pilipino that could show settings common to our racial and geographical bond. Thus, the meaning of our heroes' fight for freedom will be set vividly in the students' minds and hearts.
