DISCIPLINES AND IDEAS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Topic: Key concepts in the Social Sciences rooted in Filipino

I. Learning Competency/ies:
Examine the key concepts and ideas of Filipino thinkers in the social
sciences rooted in Filipino language and experiences:
a. 19th Century (Isabelo Reyes, Jose Rizal, others)

II. Background Information for Learners

Through the years, there are already a lot of Filipinos who extensively studied
on the different traditions and attitudes in the Philippine society itself. These
new series of lessons therefore will deal with the new state of social sciences
in the Philippine setting including different social factors vis a vis Filipino as a
social thinker, key values, Philippine psychology and Filipinos over-all
intellectual and cultural atmosphere in the society.
IDEAS OF FILIPINO THINKERS
Social Thinker: Jose Rizal Rizal was born on June 19, 1861 at Calamba,
Laguna. He was a writer, poet, teacher, ophthalmologist, novelist and a
renowned social thinker. A genuine scholar and one of the great Filipino
thinkers of all time, Rizal had numerous works that reflected his ideas on
society, education, women, history, culture, language, colonialism, and
revolution. A prolific writer at such a young age, Rizal wrote “To the Filipino
Youth, 1879” and “The Council of Gods, 1880” that won him top honors in a
competition while still studying at University of Santo Tomas. The ills of
society as a result of deteriorating colonial rule are reflected in two of his
major works, the Noli Me Tangere (1887) and El Filibusterismo (1891). In Noli
Me Tangere, Rizal pointed out the various weaknesses of Philippine society
as a result of oppressive colonial policies and the lack of reforms to address
the pressing needs of the time. The sequel to the Noli Me Tangere, the El
Filibusterismo begins with the return of the main protagonist-turned-villain
Simon. The main theme of this sequel connotes ill-system of the colonial
government during Spanish regime including corruption, frailocracy, and
unjust government regulation which led to opposition and sedition even by the
most loyal citizens.

Social Thinker: Isabelo de los Reyes. Isabelo de los Reyes was another
famous social thinker who criticize the Spanish and American invaders in the
Philippines. He was a former journalist, writer, and senator of the Philippines.
He authored several novels and essays including “Ang Singsing ng Dalagang
Marmol” and “Genesis Cientifico y Moderno”. As a journalist, he wrote some
articles elaborating the Spanish friars’ corruption which eventually led to the
imprisonment of the Spanish officials. He was also merited as the first Filipino
socialist. Upon his return from imprisonment in Spain, de los Reyes brought
with him several works by socialists, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, among
others. This led to an empowered de los Reyes that campaigned for workers’
rights that eventually landed him government positions and even a senate
seat. As a socialist, his opinion towards Philippine society is based on the
teachings of Karl Marx which emphasizes the pursuit of a communist state.
He died on October 10, 1938.

Social Thinker: Pedro Paterno Born on February 27, 1858 in Santa Cruz,
Manila from an affluent family. He was another intellectual who had a great
interest in early Filipinos and their culture. He wrote the following poems and
novels: 1. Sampaguitas y Poesias Varias (1880), the first Filipino collection of
poems. 2. Ninay (1850), the first Filipino novel. While in Spain as part of the
Propaganda Movement, Paterno wrote numerous dissertations on Filipino
culture that include:
1.Antigua Civilization Tagalog (1887)- Paterno described the initial
development of the “Luzonic islands” while trying to show the
resemblance of this native civilization to the early cultures of
European nations (Schumacher, 1997).
2. Los Itas (1890)- described the customs of Negritos where
Tagalog and the Visayans evolved. Unfortunately, most
contemporaries of Paterno, such as Rizal and de los Reyes, give
little or no importance to the works of Paterno because of their
absurdity and irrationality.

Social Thinker: Emilio Jacinto Emilio Jacinto, the so-called “Brains of the
Katipunan” was born on December 15, 1875 at Tondo, Manila. In 1894,
Jacinto joined the Katipunan and rose to become the right-hand man of
Andres Bonifacio. He became the secretary of the Katipunan and editor of the
newspaper of Katipunan. The second most important item in Kalayaan is
Jacinto’s Manifesto (Pahayag, 1896) where Kalayaan is personified and
appears to a youth caught up in darkness (Ileto, 1979). Another work of
Jacinto is entitled Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Association of the Sons
of the Nation) aimed at informing prospective members of the conditions for
joining the secret society.

Social Thinker: Andres Bonifacio Considered as the “Father of the Philippine

Revolution” and one of the greatest Filipino heroes, Andres Bonifacio was
born on November 30, 1863 at Tondo, Manila. Bonifacio was able to enrich
his knowledge on social issues by reading popular works of his time, including
books about the: 1. French Revolution 2. Life of the Presidents of the United
States 3. Les Miserables 4. The Ruins of Palmyra 5. Wandering Jew
Bonifacio was one of the original founders of the radical group Katipunan with
the objective of overthrowing Spanish colonial regime in the Philippines. He
was also a contributor to the organization’s newspaper. From his essays and
poems, one can appreciate his views with regards the cultural identity of the
 pre-colonial natives and his lofty ideals of ushering a new dawn to the once
great Tagalog nation.
