IV. COURSE DESCRIPTION

: This course introduces students to the different pacets of Philippine history through the lens of eyewitnesses. Rather than rely on secondary

Quantitative), oral, visual, audio-visual, digital- especially today the learning system will be through online and virtual classes will be the modalities of learning
examining the multifaceted phenomenon of events taking place in the world today including the outbreak of epidemics and pandemics, wars, regional
and international financial crisis not only Philippine Economy status but considering the whole world crisis condition because of the pandemic, likewise by
covering various aspects of the Philippine life(political, economic, social, cultural). Students are expected to analyze the selected readings contextually and in
terms of content (stated and implied) The end goal is to enable students to understand and appreciate our rich past by deriving insights from those who were
actually present at the time of the event.

Context analysis considers the following (i) the historical content of the source(time and place it was written and the situation at the time) (ii)the author’s
background intent (to the extent discernable) and authority on the subject , and (iii) the source’s relevance and meaning today.
