Since ADSA has cancelled classes today, July 26, from 130PM onward...
To students of HI166 V (3-430PM) and G (430-6PM):
We will still have our First Long Test (LT1) on July 28, Thursday, class hour. The exam is composed of true/false questions, multiple choice questions, and an essay part. The coverage is from our discussion on history and historiography until the essays of M. Guerrero and G. A. May.
We've not discussed the Phil-Am War, but I trust you've read already Chapter 12 of Agoncillo, as well as Guerrero and May's essays. Better to review them again. While taking note of the basic points (i.e., Treaty of Paris, Benevolent Assimilation proclamation, rationale of annexation, Feb 4 1899 event, and other notable events), keep an eye out for themes which contribute to a more nuanced understanding of revolution, the republic, and the war. This could help you in your essay writing.
Also, we will use BLUEBOOK for this exam. So I expect you to bring one or two pieces on Thursday.
Thanks. Good luck studying. Take care and stay dry.
P.S. One minor correction on Agoncillo's discussion about Fil-Am hostilities: the February 4 event, which started the Phil-Am war, took place NOT in San Juan Bridge but in Santa Mesa, at the corner of Sociego and Silencio Streets. See link here.

Watch the film "AMIGO" by John Sayles. It will be shown commercially starting Wednesday, 6 July 2011 (according to Sayles, "in time for the Philippine-American Friendship Day"). Reflect on the movie and think about the community depicted in the film, particularly on the following themes:
1) Social organization
- Social or class structure, gender roles, formal and informal links between and among the people such as extended familial ties, ritualized kinship (i.e., godparent-godchild), etc.
2) Economic conditions
- Everyday economic activities (people's livelihood, or what people do to survive everyday), economically dominant/subordinate social forces
3) Political conditions
- Power relationships within the community, relationship of the community with the agents of the state(s), political role of the locality's leader, everyday politics
4) Religious life
- Role of the primary religious functionary (Spanish friar) in the community, the people's everyday experience with Catholicism, the influence of religion in the social life of the people
5) Cultural life
- The fiesta in the middle of the film, games, forms of recreation and entertainment, lifestyle
While it's advisable to comment on all of these themes, for brevity's sake focus only on those you find interesting and reflect on them.
The OPTIONAL reaction paper is comprised of 1,500 - 3,000 words, and has to comply with the conventions of essay writing: it must be assigned with a title, bibliography should be provided, and it should follow the system of citation agreed in class (Parenthetical Style and Chicago Manual of Style). Do not forget to write your name, section, and class hour.
Affix a proof that you saw the film (i.e., movie ticket).
Use letter sized paper (8.5" X 11"), Times New Roman, 12 font size, double spacing, 1" margins at all sides.
The deadline is July 25 (Monday), and has to be submitted to the Department of History, before 5PM.

Announcements (HI166 C, D)
Hi guys! Despite the erratic wifi access both at school and at home, I would like to make the following announcements:
1) As I've told your class beadles (Kevin and Em for Section C; Crystal for Section D), I won't be able to meet the class today 4 May 2011 but we're devoting the class time to research. Although no lecture will be given today, groups are expected to continue working on their papers. Those who've submitted progress reports through email would've received my reply already. Read through my comments and suggestions, and keep on brainstorming for a workable thesis question.
2) Tomorrow, 5 May, we will continue our discussion of the American colonial period, specifically Chapters 17 and 18 of the Agoncillo/Guerrero reading. As I have hinted yesterday, we MAY have a quiz tomorrow. So better prepare. ;-)
3) On Friday, 6 May, the mid-term LT will push through. The coverage is from our lecture on History and Historiography until Harrison and Wood Administrations. You may review the readings (you don't need to read them again if you've done that before), quizzes (quiz questions MAY appear in the LT), and lecture notes (of course, we don't rely entirely on the readings).
That's all for now. Good luck to all of us.

Some concerns
1. As I've announced in class, I'm not going to meet you tomorrow (Wednesday, April 13). Instead I have asked you to research on a number of topics: A) History, as a field of knowledge; B) Historiography, again as a field of knowledge, and how different is it from history; and the following names a) Karl Marx, b) Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, c) Arnold Toynbee, d) Oswald Spengler
We are going to discuss these topics on Thursday, as part one of our introductory lecture on history and historiography.
2. To those who're asking about the readings, I do not place the required readings in the reserved section of the library. I expect you to have access to the two main books--Abinales/Amoroso's S and S in the PH, and Agoncillo's HFP. That means, you may purchase a copy, have the two books photocopied, or borrow from my past students copies (or photocopies) of these books. I expect you to have access to these books as soon as possible, because we need them for the early part of the course.
The rest of the readings are to be made available once we've assigned a beadle in class. Perhaps by next week (say Monday or Tuesday), I would've assigned the beadles already and asked them to have the additional readings made available at your suking photocopier.
That's all for now.
