Kasaysayan, Historya at “Bagong Kasaysayan”
Ugat ng Kasaysayan at Kultura
- Kasaysayan – kahulugan o saysay – makabuluhang pangyayari
- Pagsasakasaysayan – alamat, epiko, kuwentong bayan na ginagamit sa mga ritwal
o Alamat ni Lam-ang – Ilokano
o Alamat ni Manuvu
o Ibalon – Bicol
o Darangan at Parang Sabil – Moro
o Nawalang alamat ni Bathala at Laon – Tagalog at Bisaya
o Tarsila – genealogy – ipakita ang relasyon sa angkan ng propetang Mohammad
- Historya – Kastila – pagbibigay katwiran sa gawaing opisyal ng relihiyoso at sibil
- Nakaraan at makatotohanan – kabaliktaran ng historya sa Europa – gawa-gawa lamang
(istorya)
- 19 dantaon umunlad ang pag-aaral ng historya bilang isang disiplina – mga positibista –
gawing aghan ang pangkasaysayang paglalarawan (Alemanya)
- Paghihiwalay ng datos at interpretasyon
Sa Daigdig ng Agham
 - Dalawang uri ng pag-aaral ng kasaysayan: 1. Sining o literatura 2. Agham at agham
panlipunan
- Layunin ng agham na tuklasin ang ugnayan ng nakikitang katotohanan (surface
reality) at ng panloob na istruktura (underlying structures)
- Agham - Panukat/instrument
- Agham-panlipuan
o sikolohiya – paghahanap ng natatagong istruktura – mapaliwanag ang ugali ng tao
o kasaysayan – pagsusuri sa panloob na relasyon ng mga pwersa sa lipunan, pag-
ugnayin ang katotohanan at panloob na dahilan sa pagsusuri ng ugat sa nakaraan
o kontekstwalisasyon – paglalagay ng kaganapan sa isang panahon

Pamamaraan ng Kasaysayan bilang Agham-Panlipunan

- E.H. Carr – pag-ugnaying ang katotohanan at interpretasyon – tinitipon ang katotohanan
ayon sa tinutungo ng intepretasyon ngunit nababago at iniaayon sa pagkatuklas ng
makabagong katotohanan.
- Talambuhay, kasaysayang local, kasaysayang nasyonal
- Interpretasyon ng pag-unlad ng tao sa daigdig
- Nagkakaroon ng sariling pagtataya – iwasan at gumamit ng mas malawak na perspektibo
- Paglalarawan ng kasaysayan – pag-unlad ng tao – 2 baitang
o Homonisasyon – paglikha ng tao sa kanyang sarili
o Humanisasyon – pagpapakatao – kaugaliang panlipunan (social tradition), kultura
at sibilisasyon
 Inaaping uri – higit na papel sa paglikha ng kasaysayan
 Naghaharing uri – hindi babaguhin ang status quo
- Kahirapan ng pangkabuuang paglalarawan ng kasaysayan – pangangailangan ng tamang
datos at kahusayan sa pagsulat
Konsepto ng Pagbabalangkas
- Heograpiya – tanghalang ginagalawan ng kasaysayan
- Istrukturang kaganapan – elementong hindi tumitinag, mainam suriin kung ang lipunan
ay matatag at tahimik
- Ugnayang pangyayari (conjecture)
- Pangyayari (event)
Epekto ng Pananaw
- Pananaw – anggulo ng distansiya ng pagtingin sa isang bagay
- Pagpili sa higit na makatwiran na pananaw
- Isang PILIPINONG pananaw
- Pangkaming pananaw – audience ay ibang bansa
- Pantayong pananaw
Pagsasapanahon
- Ang heograpiya ay isang nagbabagong phenomenon
- Ang mga istruktura ay may iba’t-ibang direksiyon ng pag-unlad
 - Iniaalalayan ng pagsasapanahong ito ang magkakasabay na karanasan ng tao
- Pagiging makabayan

Towards a People’s History

- History books are flawed with bias
- Spanish History has an effect on Filipinos
- Heroes are the only ones recognized (myth: history is the work of heroes and great men)
- Focused on present -> neglect the past, therefore becomes unchallenged
- Correcting historical mistakes were not pursued due to colonial education
- Getting immersed in specifics -> forget the bigger picture
- Focus on the collective rather than the individual
- “An individual has no history apart from society, and society is the historical product of
people in struggle.”
- Motivators of history -> masses of human beings
- History consists of people’s efforts to attain a better life
- History is a guide for greater freedom and better society
- Masses are taken for granted -> not recognized
 - Masses are inarticulate (slaves, low-born) -> the articulate write history and make it about
them
- People make or unmake heroes
- General and specific work together to comprehend history
- We need to be decolonized (intellectual decolonization) to correct history
- Limitations – very exhaustive, time consuming
- Concerned with the side of the masses
- History is perceived as names and dates -> no unifying thread
- Past discuss what has become of the present -> easier for the people to see the direction
and identify factors that hinder progress
- Unifying thread – the struggles against colonial oppresion teach the masses to
comprehend society -> bring awareness
- Mass actions -> raises awareness and changes attitudes -> to LIBERATE themselves
- The only way to write PH history is to write the basis of the struggles of the people
- Filipino resistance to colonial oppression is the unifying thread of PH history
Why the Filipino is special
Filipinos are:
- Brown – color should not be a reason for inferiority
- A touching people – seeking interconnection
- Linguists – adept in learning and speaking languages
o Pedro Chirino: Tagalog: abstruseness and obscurity of Hebrew, articles and
distinctions of nouns in Greek, fullness and elegance of Latin, refinement, polish,
and courtesy of Spanish.
o Tagalog is not sexist
- Groupists – human interaction and company
- Weavers – pakikipagkapwa, pakikisama
- Adventurers – tradition of separation
- Have pakiramdam – gift of discernment
- Spiritual – premonition. Kutob
- Timeless – time is diffused – no clear cut beginning and end
- Spaceless – communal values
