IN SERACH OF THE
FILIPINO SOCIAL
SCIENCE
Pambansang Photo bomber
is what they call the building
serving as an unwanted
backdrop to the iconic
monument of national hero,
Jose Rizal. Located at Luneta
Park in Manila, the
condominium building seems
to distract viewers and
distorts the immaculate and
post-card worthy scenery of
the Rizal Shrine.
Is it really just a matter of
perspective? Or do we
recognize the fact that the
issue is about national dignity,
tradition, and heritage is a
reality that must be given due
consideration and respect?
Why do we needed to
have a Filipino Social
Science- an Agham
Panlipunang Pilipino?
AGHAM PANLIPUNANG PILIPINO
It is necessary that we develop our own
intellectual and academic discourse;
and actively use it not only to replace
Western terms, words, or concepts but
also to create a community of
intellectuals who are able to express
their original ideas, thoughts, and
methods in a language understood by
the majority of the people whom they
are investigating, studying and serving.
That is the purpose of Agham

Panlipunang Pilipino- a body
of knowledge that is both
attuned to the Filipino context
and sensitive to the Filipino
experience and needs.
Dalumat, batis, balangkas,

and talastasan are some of
the words used by
contemporary Filipino social
scientist who write in Filipino.
Why do we needed to
make a systematic
study of society ?
