IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING HISTORY

“We can better understand the PRESENT

if we know about the PAST. Knowledge
of the past enables us to plan the
FUTURE.”(History of Modern Europe by Carl
Becker, pp 3-4, 1945, Published by the US Forces)
INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT
By: Renato Constantino

History has been used to capture our

minds, if not by outright forgery and
falsification at least by a subtle
distortion of certain events. The result is
that our conquerors had been
transformed into an altruistic and self-
sacrificing partners… p. 3
 Mga Ugat ng Nasyonalismo at
Patriotismong Pilipino
Ang Nasyonalismong Pilipino ay bunga ng mga “values”
at mga simulain na niyakap ng mga Makabayang Pilipino
laban sa pananakop at pang-aapi ng mga Kastila,
Amerikano at Hapones.
Ang Kartilya ng Katipunan ni Andres Bonifacio at
ang Dekalogo ng Mga Anak ng Bayan ni Emilio
Jacinto ay 2 “primer” na naglatag ng batas sa mga kasapi
ng KKK , una sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at sa Kapwa-
Tao, (kabababaihan, anak, magulang, kapatid, at
kapwa-Pilipino)

The American Occupation
• HISTORY OF MODERN EUROPE (Imperialism and
World Conflict). By Carl Becker. 31 October 1944, Published for
the United States Armed Forces Institute.
• “The Industrial Revolution also GAVE RISE TO INTERNATIONAL
CONFLICTS that were primarily economic in nature. Until the
last quarter of the nineteenth century, England was the chief
industrial and creditor country of Europe…But by the end of
nineteenth century the UNITED STATES and many European
countries—Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, Germany—had also
become highly industrialized, so that they too, HAD MORE
MANUFACTURED GOOD THAN THEY COULD INVEST AT HOME.
• They all NEEDED RAW MATERIALS…They all needed
NEW MARKETS ABROAD FOR THEIR SURPLUS OF
MANUFACTURED GOODS. Businessmen and bankers
in all of these countries were looking for
opportunities abroad to START NEW ENTERPRISES or
to INVEST CAPITAL AT PROFITABLE RATES OF
INTEREST. All of these countries, therefore, BECAME
RIVALS AND COMPETITORS FOR MARKETS, RAW
MATERIALS, OPPORTUNITIES TO INVEST CAPITAL
and to EXPAND THEIR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES.
• “This EXPANSION OF EUROPEAN AND
AMERICAN CAPITAL AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
AND POLITICAL POWER in Africa and in the Near
East and the Far East is called IMPERIALISM.
IT WAS A COMPETITIVE STRUGGLE FOR
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE AND POLITICAL POWER
IN LESS INDUSTRIALIZED PARTS OF THE WORLD.
It naturally GAVE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE
COUNTRIES THAT WERE ENGAGED IN IT.
• “At the turn of the century (1896-1904), there
occurred a number of ‘colonial wars’---the
Spanish American War, the Boer War, the
Boxer Rebellion of China, the Russo-Japanese
War. To safeguard their interest and
strengthen their power the principal European
countries made alliances: the Triple Alliance of
Germany, Austria and Italy; the Triple Entete
of Russia, France, and Great Britain.”

 'SA KUKO NG AGILA'
DIGMAANG FILIPINO-AMERIKANO (1899-1913)

Let us remember those who lost their lives fighting for an

independent homeland from their aggressors. American
history has deliberate selective memory in regards to the
wars it imposed on other countries, to satisfy their self-
serving needs under the disguise of bringing democracy
to other nations of our world...These are photos of
torture and execution of Filipino patriots dubbed as
'insurgents' by the first American Visiting Forces on our
soil (1899-1913). That US invasion and occupation in 1899
was the original Iraq (and Afghanistan) and the 'first
Vietnam in Asia'.
