1. Discuss kasaysayan (or history) from the point of view of public historian Ambeth
Ocampo.
According to Ambeth Ocampo history is not a mere collection of dates and
names. History is then a lot of other things; signifying systems, interpretive schemes,
contending narratives, and expressive energies which subtend the very possibility of social
life. This means history is a part of our life because it shows on how our country change
despite the wars that our heroes fought with. It is the story of our ancestors so it doesn’t mean
that history is just a past event that we need to forget but to maintain.
