Readings in Philippine History aims to equip students with critical thinking and reading skills by applying historical methodologies in the study of Philippine history. The book’s emphasis on the use of primary sources corresponds to the thrust of the new General Education Curriculum to view the past through the lens of eyewitnesses. This book’s approach is focused on the analysis of the context, content, and perspective of selected primary sources. Consequently, students of history can gain a better understanding of the past, deepen their sense of identity, and locate themselves in the greater narrative of the nation.
