As CHED requires, this book will expose the students to different facets of Philippine history through the lens of eyewitness. The readings are lifted from various types of primary sources - from memoirs, chronicles, journals, news reports, almanacs, and the likes - without any biases nor interpretations so students themselves will be the ones to scrutinize, analyze and interpret the historical events that took place in the past before they were even born. At the end of each article is a task sheet the student will work on, not only to test their understanding of the events but also to stimulate their thinking skills. The subject teacher, on the other hand, should include other activities to heighten the students' understanding and appreciation on our rich past. They should likewise encourage their students to visit museums and be aware of their local history. Studying history is not simply learning our past, but history allows as to be critically conscious of the significant events that shaped our nation." --The Editor ER -
