Learning Content

“What is generally considered to be the history of the Filipino people is essentially the history of Central Luzon,
most especially the Tagalogs. Important events and developments, including personages, particularly in the
Visayas and Mindanao, are at best, mentioned in passing and, at worst altogether left out.” – Henry F.
Funtecha

What is Local History?

Local history is a written history focusing on a particular town, district, or other limited area. (Oxford
Dictionary, n.d.)

Local history is the study of history in a geographically local context and it often concentrates on the
local community. It incorporates cultural and social aspects of history. (“Local history”, 2018)

Local history is often documented by local historical societies or groups that form to preserve a local
historic building or other historic site. Many works of local history are compiled by amateur historians working
independently or archivists employed by various organizations. An important aspect of local history is the
publication and cataloguing of documents preserved in local or national records which relate to particular
areas. (“Local history,” 2018)

Local history tends to be less documented than other types, with fewer books and artifacts than that of
a country or continent. Many local histories are recorded as oral tales or stories and so are more vulnerable
than more well-known issues. (“Local history”, 2018)

Artifacts of local history are often collected in local history museums, which may be housed in a
historic house or other building. (“Local history”, 2018)

Individual historic sites are inherently local, although they may have national or world history
importance as well. Many however have little overall historical impact but add depth to the local area. (“Local
history” 2018)

What is Oral History?

Oral history consists of spoken memories, stories and songs and the study of these, as a way of
communicating and discovering information about the past. It refers to the memories of living people about
events or social conditions which they experienced in their earlier lives taped and preserved as historical
evidence. (Collins, n.d.)

Oral history is the collection and study of historical information about individuals, families, important
events or everyday life using audiotapes, or transcriptions of planned interviews. These interviews are
conducted with people who participated in or observed past events and whose memories and perceptions of
these are to be preserved as an aural record for future generations.

Oral history strives to obtain information from different perspectives and most of these cannot be
found in written sources. Oral history also refers to information gathered in this manner and to a written work
(published or unpublished) based on such data, often preserved in archives and large libraries. Knowledge
presented by Oral History (OH) is unique in that it shares the tacit perspective, thoughts, opinions and
understanding of the interviewee in its primary form. (oral history, n.d. Online Dictionary, n.d., The American
Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 2014, Oxford Dictionaries, n.d. Nkala & David 2015).

Why Study Local History?

We study local history for a number of reasons, some of which are the following:

1. Studying local history provides students with increased interest in the larger subject of history.
2. Studying local history gives students a better sense of realism.
3. Our local communities’ familiar buildings and the land itself are limited and are exhaustible resources.

Learning Activities

Activity 1: Write Your Local History

Directions: As a citizen of this country, you must be a member of your local community, and your community
is part of the larger Philippine society. Your local community (barangay, town, city, province) must have its
own history, but which history you do not normally find in history books or written anywhere else, because
previous historians must have thought it was not significant, or that simply, there was never somebody in your
place to tell or write about it. Now, assuming the role of a local historian, try to reconstruct or narrate your
local history. Write your answer on the space provided below.

Activity 2: 8-Step Action Plan

Directions: As a good citizen, make an action plan on how to actively promote and preserve the country’s
historical and cultural heritage.

As a good citizen, make an action plan on how to actively promote and preserve the country’s historical and
cultural heritage through (name of assigned topic ex: local and oral history).

Step 1: Identify your overall goal

Clarity is very important here; the
more clearly you can
visualize/articulate your goal, the
easier it is to plan a route towards
it.
Step 2: Set SMART objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound)
These should:
1. Be precise
2. Be expressed in positive
language
3. Start with an action verb to
ensure they are focused on
something that can be
achieved (e.g. complete,
publish, investigate,
propose, revise, plan and
install)
Step 3: Identify the individual tasks and order them by priority
Break down any large objectives
into smaller tasks, so they don’t
seem so difficult to achieve.
Consider what you will do NOW.
There is no point in having an
action plan that will start in six
month’s time.
Step 4: Identify any challenges, barriers and self-defeating tendencies.
Categorize them as follows:
ACT- challenges, etc. which are
within your control and important

REFRAME- challenges, etc. which

you can’t control but are
important; think about how you
could view these challenges, etc.
in a more positive and
manageable light, for example as a
focus for the actions you need to
take.

CHOOSE- challenges, etc. which

you can control but are not
important

IGNORE- challenges, etc. which

you can’t control and aren’t
important.

Then, working in order, consider

what strategies you can use to
overcome your challenges, etc.
Example: A tendency to
procrastinate could be tackled by
setting SMART objectives and
breaking them down into

5
manageable chunks.
Step 5: Determine who can help you.
For example, if you listed
“procrastination” in Step 4 then
perhaps you could arrange for a
friend or relative to support you in
sticking to the objectives you set
above in Step 2.
Step 6: Determine what resources you will need.
List down the resources you need,
where and how to source them.

Step 7: Decide on a realistic timescale to achieve your overall goal.

From (date) to (date)

Step 8: Review your progress.

Keep a diary or logbook of your No need to write here for number 8 since you will only be doing a plan.
activities and record in it your No actual implementation of the plan will be made.
progress as things happen.
Review how far you have got
towards your goal identify any
mistakes you have made and what
you can learn from them, look at
any new ideas or opportunities
that may have presented
themselves and then revise your
plan to incorporate these.
