History Of The Filipino People (Eighth Edition)

Preface to the Eighth Edition "This new edition of History of the Filipino People is a fulfillment of the late Professor Teodoro A. Agoncillo who indicated on various occasions to members of his family and friends the need to update the text in response to changing situations. One of the changes effected is the replacement of the chapters written by the junior co-author and the incoporation of other materials the senior author would have done. The difficult task of revision was assumed by the Agconcillo family with the invaluable help of scholar friends who had given more than casual time, effort and commitment to bring out the necessary changes in the text. Deeply acknowledged and appreciated are the acts of kindess and assistance to the family by Dr. Bernardita R. Churchill, Dr. Isagani R. Medina, and Dr. Samuel K. Tan -- intimate associates of the late professor in the Department of History, University of the Philippines, Dilliman. Heartfelt thanks are likewise extended to C&E Publishing, Inc. for making this reprint edition possible. This eight edition -- offered to teachers, students, and readers of Philippine history with the same sense of purpose that had marked the late professor's works -- is one of the affectionate tributes that his family dedicates to his memory." -- Teodoro V. Agoncillo III (for the family of the late Teodoro A. Agoncillo)
