events that happened in the past and are narrated
in a chronological order.

arranged in their chronological order.
Thucydides and Herodotus- defined history as learning inquiry about the past of
mankind.
E.H. Carr- defined history as a never-ending dialogue of events between the past and the
present.
Will Durant- stated that history is a narrative of events of what civilized men have
thought and done in the past.

RELEVANCE OF STUDYING PHILIPPINE
HISTORY
History is inescapable
All people are living histories- which is why history
matters.
RELEVANCE OF STUDYING PHILIPPINE HISTORY

Understanding Philippine History is essential to a good understanding of the condition of
being human. People build, people destroy, and people change. Neither all of these
options can be understood well without understanding the context and starting point of
all these. All human beings live in the here and now, but it took a long unfolding history
to get enough to "NOW".
