UNDERSTANDING HISTORY
As a science, history is a body of organized knowledge a chronological
record of the significant events of the past that have a remarkable bearing
on the present.
In its broadest meaning, history is the study of past events. It generally
presents the known past.
Content of history as a subject:
1. Persons the key players in shaping history.
2. Time an essential concept of history. If time is lost in discussion, history
will lose its meaning. It situates the events in its proper perspective in thecontinuum of events. It shows the progression of events, thus, creating an
understanding on how events developed one after the other.
3. Chronology it puts orders to series of events. It requires discussing the
events in the order of their occurrence in time. Without it, history loses its
meaning.

4. Place the location of the event is equally important. Events do not happen
in a vacuum, and persons do not exist in the mind only. These realities
have to exist somewhere.
5. Value of Events by virtue of the fact that events are recorded in history,
there must be significance in them.
6. Sources of Data the reliability of the sources of the historians data is
important in the reliability of recorded history.
Arnold Toynbee stated that history reflects the progress of civilizations and
societies. He viewed the past as succession of civilizations rather thanpolitical entities. He said that the failure of a civilization to survive was the
result of its inability to respond to challenges.

Renato Constantino defined history as the recorded struggle of people for
ever increasing freedom and for newer and higher realization of the human
person. It is not about the history of man as individual, but man as the
associated man. Man interacts with nature and with other men, thus,
consciously changing his own perspective and to some extend, thesystem of environment. He supposed that Philippine History is a story of
struggle.
Importance of History:
Serve as a guide to present and succeeding generations in facing the
challenges of the times.
Enable us to grasp the direction of the countrys development and identify
the factors that impede real progress.

Cebu was then named San Miguel but later changed to Santisimo Nombrede Jesus in honor of the Holy Child. Legaspi erected a triangular fort the
Fort San Pedro. Legaspi became the first Spanish Governor-General in the
Philippines and adopted a policy of attraction to gain Cebuanos faith and
confidence.
Tupas finally entered into a treaty with Legaspi. This was the Spanish
government. The provisions were:1. Any Cebuano who commit a crime against a Spaniard shall be delivered

commits a crime against a Cebuano shall be punished by the Spanish
authorities.

following reasons:

2. Muslim kinship turned to be a meaningful alliances. The Muslims
regarded their territory as part ofDURAL ISLAM (Homeland of Islam). Anyforeign invasion of these lands could cause a JIHAD, a holy war of defense.

Jesus, Patio told Fr. Mariano Gil all about
what he learned of the Katipunan.
The friars, then, made personal searchinside Diario de Manila, the
