The Pacto de Sangre in the Late Nineteenth-Century Nationalist Emplotment of Philippine History The Pacto de Sangre (Blood Compact), despite its crucial significance in Filipino conceptions of history, is seldom interrogated in Philippine historiography. The event that happened in Bohol in 1565, involving Sikatuna and Legazpi, was narrativized in the late nineteenth century and became integral to the nationalist emplotment of the past. However, the two principal narrative strands of Marcelo del Pilar and Andres Bonifacio differed owing to divergent political projects. This article revisits the making of a founding myth of Filipino nationhood in light of scholarship on ancient blood oaths and the historical account of the encounter of Sikatuna and Legazpi. Keywords: historiography • blood oath • blood brotherhood • nationalism • myth maKing PHILIPPINE STUDIES 58, NOS.

  • 2011 PY Early Development, Rediscovery and Colonization Of
    1 Early Development, Rediscovery, and Colonization of the Philippines Introduction T he Philippines has colorful traces of the past. From early and prehistoric period to the present, it has come out to be steadfast in coping with the challenges of transition from ancient practices to modern ideas. Yet as technological advancement continues to dictate the way people live in this modern era, it is still eminent that Filipinos’ knowledge of their ancestry and environment will never be lost as shown by a culture of varied influences obtained from its conquerors and emancipators. 1.1 Origin of the Philippines No single theory or evidence has unraveled the truth behind the Philippines’ prehistoric past. However, newborn proofs are leading to more discoveries on how the country and its people came about. Geological theories. It is believed that a period of violent tectonic activities had formed the Philippine archipelago. The upheaval of crumbling, folding, and cracking of the sea floor shaped the landscape into uneven heights and lush green tropical forests. Land formations bolster geologists’ theories on the Philippines. Northern Luzon appears to have been two separate islands and the Sulu archipelago seems to have been tacked on to a much larger Mindanao. The most popular and most accepted theory on the Philippines’ origin is that it was part of Asia’s continental shelf known as the Sunda Shelf. The world’s ice melted during the post-Glacial Age, causing the sea level to rise and submerge lower regions of the earth, including the land bridges adjoining the Philippine islands to other parts of Asia.
