Not all remembering is useful
to life. A lack of memory
however is as injurious to life
as the excess of it.
History should use a
multi- disciplinary
approach of study
History is a
developmental subject,
teaching people how to
surpass their sufferings
History without sources is
unthinkable,
but not all historical works with
sources are commendable.
The moment data pass

through the human mind, it is
no longer objective.
When studying and learning
about history, we must
always be questioning the
quality of our sources.
1. Who wrote this?
2. How do they know the
information they are telling
me?
3. When did they write it?
4. Why did they write it?
5. Who did they write it for?
A primary source is a
document or physical
object which was written
or created during the
time under study.
Diaries, speeches, manuscripts letters,
interviews, news film footage,
autobiographies, official records
The original
"manuscript" of Rizal's
last poem later entitled
"Mi Ultimo Adios" This is
now preserved in the
vault of the National
Library of the Philippines
along with the other
writings of Jose Rizal and
the original manuscripts
of the Noli Me Tangere
and El Filibusterismo.
Major Lazaro Makapagal. The man who led
the soldiers who executed Andres Bonifacio,
The Supremo of the Katipunan
Section of a letter of Col.
Lazaro Makapagal to
historian Jose P. Santos in
the 1930s narrating how
he and his squad
executed Andres
Bonifacio and his
brother, Procopio, on
Mount Hulog in
Maragondon, Cavite in
May, 1897. This is the
portion where Makapagal
says Bonifacio fell to his
knees begging for his life
then running away when
he saw that he was
about to be shot.
Photograph of an
original copy of
the La
Solidaridad.
Contrary to
popular belief, it
was only the size
of a 8x11 bond
paper. This is one
of several copies
found in the UST
Archives
Jose Rizal's admission
record to the Faculty
of Medicine and
Surgery in the
University of Santo
Tomas (1878-1879).
This gives lie to the
story that Rizal had
to hide his real last
name "Mercado"
when he enrolled in
UST.
Jose Rizal's grade
during his Third Year
studies in Medicine at
the University of
Santo Tomas. His
grade of "Aprovado"
is equal to a "Very
Good". Take note,
however, that the
student above him
got a grade of
"Sobresaliente" or
"Excellent". He is Jose
Luna y Novicio, the
brother of Juan and
Antonio Luna, who
was Rizal's classmate
in Medicine.
Rules in the pre-World War II UST Student Handbook.
Many of these rules were made because of the entry of
women students in the university in the 1930s.

Other examples of Primary source:
CREATIVE WORKS: Poetry, drama, novels,
music, art
RELICS OR ARTIFACTS: Pottery, furniture,

clothing, buildings
A secondary source interprets and analyzes
primary sources. These sources are one or
more steps removed from the event.
Secondary sources may have pictures, quotes
or graphics of primary sources in them. Some
types of secondary sources include:
PUBLICATIONS: Textbooks, magazine articles,

histories, criticisms, commentaries, encyclopedias
Examples of secondary sources include:
1. A journal/magazine article which interprets or

reviews previous findings
2. A history textbook
3. A book about the effects of WWI
Historians should
interpret history based on
every aspect.
You cannot interpret history

based on human decisions
alone, there are external
forces .
