1. What is history?
-History is the study of things that happened in the past. It helps us learn about how people
used to live, what they did, and why things turned out the way they did. We look at old records,
like writings and objects, to figure this out. History helps us understand how the world has
changed over time, and it can give us ideas for the future by looking at what worked and what
didn't in the past.

2. What is the importance of studying history?

-The importance of studying history lies within what we can learn from the events of the past so
that in the future when we are faced with the same or similar challenges we would know which
methods will and will not work.Learning history will allow us to avoid repeating the same
mistakes we have made along with finding alternative or better solutions to problems we have
faced before.

3. Define Primary and secondary sources of History

-Primary sources are original, firsthand records or artifacts created during the time period being
studied. These sources provide direct evidence of past events, people, or conditions. Examples
include diaries, letters and photographs. Secondary Sources: Secondary sources are
interpretations, analyses, or summaries of primary sources or past events created by individuals
who were not directly involved. Examples of secondary sources include history books,
documentaries, biographies, and scholarly articles.

4. Give at least 2 Philippine National heroes, and explain his contribution to Philippine
history?
-Jose Rizal - Jose Rizal was responsible for books that recorded events happening in the pasts
along with a detailed explanation of the culture and practices that were prominent during the
Spanish Colonial Period. In his books, he went into detail on the suffering that Filipinos went
through at the hand of the Spanish Empire. The characters in his stories may be fictional but the
suffering and practices they endured were accurate to what was happening during his time. He
was also responsible for a newspaper meant for revolutionaries which detailed events and plans
that were vital in recording our history.

-Marcelo H. Del Pilar - Just like Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. Del Pilar also made alot of notable
written works that were vital in recording our history during the Spanish Colonial Period. Marcel
H. Del Pilar was responsible for a number of articles written in the Revolutionary newspaper "La
Solidaridad ''(diaryo ng mga katipunero) writing under his pen name Plaridel. His works went on
to help spark the revolution and works of his are being kept on record as a part of our history.
