DESCRIPTION The 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 authors’ background and main arguments, compare different points of view, identify
biases and examine the evidences presented in the document. The discussions will tackle traditional topics in history and other interdisciplinary themes
that will deepen and broaden their understanding of Philippine political, economic, cultural, social, scientific and religion history. Priority is given to
primary materials that could help students develop their analytical and communicative skills. The end goal is to develop the historical and critical
consciousness of the students so that they will become versatile, articulate, broad-minded, morally upright and responsible citizens.

This course includes mandatory topics on the Philippine Constitution, agrarian reform and taxation.
