    Direction. Read the instruction carefully. Write your answer on a


    whole sheet of paper.

    1. In not more than ten sentences, Analyze the origin and the
    development of “fake news” in the Code of Kalantiaw. How did the
    researchers discover that they are hoaxes? Considering the
    primary and secondary sources. (10 points)
    The tale of this Code has been recognized by established writers
    over the ages. But in 1968, in his book "Prehispanic Source Materials for
    the Study of Philippine History," the historian William Henry Scott called
    this a "hoax." In future materials on Philippine history, Filipino historians
    therefore decided to expunge the Code of Kalantiaw. There are some
    controversies regarding the truthfulness of the Kalantiaw Code since,
    due to the lack of historical evidence, there are some claims that
    suggest that the Kalantiaw Code is not counted as one of the
    Philippine histories. In Philippine literature, there are clearly no written or
    pictorial records from that period. There are no documents from other
    nations which also reference the great Kalantiaw. There is also no
    evidence that such a barbaric set of rules has ever been spawned by
    2. Using online resources, search for primary and secondary
    sources that show or explain the significance of your chosen
    historical event. Write down the selected sources and identify the
    possible biases that they might contain. (10 points)
