Out of print title.
It has been said often enough that the future comes but from the past. The task, therefore, of passing on the cumulative knowledge of the past becomes an enduring legacy that each generation must carry on. This book is an attempt to bring the past to our people in a narrative that is easy to read. Pictures and illustration, many of them probably to be seen only for the first time by the reader, accompany the story. What emerges is a pictorial tableau about the Philippines and the Filipinos from their pre-colonial past until their struggles for independence first against the Spaniards and then against the Americans. The story of the Filipinos, a hospitable and patient people, is a saga of struggles to repel foreign conquest and, dominated and abused by alien rulers, to regain freedom. It is a story that merits retelling. The Philippine Historical Association, the National Historical Institute and the University of Santo Tomas, by collaborating on this volume, seek to add their voice to the ancient chants that retell our story.
