This second collection of the Constantino Ser jicated to th
punan, In line with his historical revisionism as
ast Revisitedand The Continuing Past, Dr. Constantino has
n some articles and columns which explode myths that have been
accepted as history. The materials in this collection have been di id into
subjects that belong to history proper, those that relate to heroes andthe
role of individuals in history and those thatconstantly remind us of the coming
centennials of the revolutionary decade of the last century
Each antcle is preceded by quotations from his other writings. The
articles appear as originally published in order to give the reader the flavor of
the background for each article, thus some overlapping of discuss

“Its the task of the historian to weave particular events into
al view s0 that historical experience can be summed ¥P
analyzed....A truly Filipina history becomes 4 weapon
8 people who have to learn lessons from the past in order to
apply them to the present so that they may act correctly t0
secure their future....A people's history is one that combats
and defends, glorifies and condemns, criticizes and advocates... tistory should
show how a nation was born where previously there was none....it must seek to
uncover the emerging forces concealed by prevailing myths and obstructed by
forces of reaction.”
The Phippemes: A Past Revsiad, 1975, a
A sense of nationhood
Daily Globe, ly 19,199
While a growing number of Filipinos are becoming militant in the
defense of their rights, still a majority of our countrymen regard the discussion
of many issues affecting their daily lives as abstractions. They are unable to
seact to the bigger issues because they are customarily concemed with the
narrow horizons of their individual existence never having acquired a sense
of national history. Theirsense of nationhood hasall butdisappeared because
they are captives of an ersatz history that has fostered mendicancy and lack
of regard for the collectivity.
A disaster like the eruption of Mt, Pinatubo could have provided the
‘Opportunity to recapture the sense of nationhood and to concretize the real
meaning of Philippine-American relations which has been the basis of
national policies, The Americans just left Clark Air Base, without giving a

greater number of individuals first according to race, later according to

did it become a term of national identification breaking all racial, economic,
