This course analyzes Philippine history from multiple perspectives
through the lens of selected primary sources coming from various disciplines
and of different genres. Students are given opportunities to analyze the

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
