    Teodoro A. Agoncillo, Litt.D.

    Teodoro A. Agoncillo (November


    9, 1912 – January 14, 1985) was one of the
    pre-eminent Filipino historians of the
    20th century. He and his contemporary
    Renato Constantino were among the first
    Filipino historians who earned renown for
    promoting a distinctly nationalist point of
    view of Filipino history (nationalist
    historiography). He was also an essayist
    and a poet.

    Born in Lemery, Batangas,


    Agoncillio obtained a bachelor's degree
    in philosophy from the University of the
    Philippines in 1934 and a master's degree
    in the arts from the same university the
    following year. He earned his living as a
    linguistic assistant at the Institute of
    National Language and as an instructor
    at the Far Eastern University and the
    Manuel L. Quezon University. In 1956, he
    published his seminal work, Revolt of the Masses: The Story of Bonifacio and the Katipunan, a history
    of the 1896 Katipunan-led revolt against Spanish rule and its leader, Andres Bonifacio. He garnered
    acclaim for this book, as well as criticisms from more conservative historians discomforted by the
    work's nationalist, perhaps even Marxist bent.
    In 1958, Agoncillo was invited to join the faculty of the Department of History of his alma
    mater, the University of the Philippines. He remained with the university until his retirement in 1977,
    chairing the Department of History from 1963 to 1969. Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal
    named Agoncillo as a member of the National Historical Institute in 1963. He served in this capacity
    until his death in 1985.

    Agoncillo's History of the Filipino People, first published in 1960, remains a popular standard
    textbook in many Filipino universities, as are many of Agoncillo's other works. This is despite
    Agoncillo's controversial tone and for his perceived leftist bent. Gregorio Zaide, Teodoro Agoncillo,
    Reynaldo Ileto and Renato Constantino stand as the most prominent 20th century Filipino historians to
    emerge during the post-war period. It must be noted however, that Agoncillo's works suffer from
    uneven scholarship throughout, especially with his use (or especially, non-use) of reliable historical
    sources.
