He added that the “Knights of Rizal has to catch the attention of the youth to inculcate in them the values and virtues that our national hero imparted to Filipinos in his lifetime and in all his works; this is why we are tapping the social media like facebook, twitter, youtube and the like”.

#justlikeRizal project is part of the line-up of programs and projects of the KOR  Rizalian Year 2012-2014 under the theme,  “Buhayin si Rizal sa Bawat Pilipino”.

Other institutional programs like Rizal is Alive Forum, Rizal National Festival of Excellence and National Rizal Youth Leadership Institute will also be presented in the launch. This initiative is made possible under the abled leadership of Sir Reghis M. Romero II, KGCR in cooperation with the KOR Sucesos Chapter composed of historians.

                 The Order of the Knights of Rizal is an international fraternal organization chartered under Republic Act No. 646.  Its objectives are to study the teachings of Dr. Jose Rizal, to inculcate and propagate them in and among all classes of the Filipino people, and by words and deeds to exhort our citizenry to emulate and practice the examples and teachings of our national hero, to promote among the associated Knights the spirit of patriotism and Rizalian chivalry, to develop a perfect union among the Filipinos in revering the memory of Dr. Jose Rizal, and, to organize and hold programs commemorative of Rizal's nativity and martyrdom. Through the years, the Order has been an effective partner of the government in disseminating Rizal’s life and ideals.

Project uses Facebook to teach about Rizal

April 8, 2011, 9:01am

MANILA, Philippines — The Juan D. Nepomuceno Center for Kapampangan Studies of Holy Angel University and BINHI English Literacy Foundation, Inc. recently launched a project on Facebook as part of the sesquicentennial anniversary of Jose Rizal’s birth.

The project, called “Rizal 150 to 150: A 15—Day Countdown to Rizal’s 150th Birth Anniversary,” is designed to entice the Filipino youth to get reacquainted with the national hero by posting daily Rizal quotations on Facebook. The quotations are set against the backdrop of various Rizal monuments all over the archipelago.

Ian Christopher Alfonso, researcher at the Center for Kapampangan Studies, manages the project. “One challenge is to find 150 Rizal sayings,” Alfonso says. “Another is to collect photos of Rizal statues, busts and murals all over the country.”

The project was spearheaded by Lisa Tinio-Bayot, head of the BINHI Foundation and grand niece of Rizal through Saturnina Rizal-Hidalgo. The campaign drew positive responses from Facebook fans as well as scholars and historians.

Dr. Vicente Villan of the UP Diliman History Department called it unique and worthy to be converted into a coffee-table book. Also giving their full support to the project are Michael Charleston Chua, Philippine Historical Association (PHA) vice president and DLSU history professor; Dr. Celestina Boncan, former president of PHA; Jonathan Capulas Balsamo, PHA press relations officer and PUP history professor; and Dr. Zeus Salazar, former chair of the UP Diliman History Department.

Those who have photographs of any public statue of Rizal in schools, municipal halls, and parks are encouraged to submit them for posting in the “Rizal 150 to 150” campaign. Email them to ianalfonso7@gmail.com or personally submit a copy at the Center for Kapampangan Studies for scanning.

Those who want to receive a daily dose of Rizal quote and picture, go to the “Rizal 150 to 150” fan page on Facebook and simply click “Like.”

Historians to update PHL historical records at UST confab

MANILA, Jan. 12 – Hundreds of historians nationwide will converge at the Philippine Historical Association (PHA) General Assembly and Elections for the Board of Governors for 2012 at University of Santo Tomas (UST) campus, Sampaloc, Manila, on Jan. 29, 2012, from 8 a.m to 11:30 a.m.

PHA public relations officer Jonathan Balsamo, during the Talking Points radio program aired Thursday over People’s Television-4 and Radyo ng Bayan stations nationwide, said that the association would gather about 300 members, mostly history teachers and professional historians, who are dedicated in strengthening the Filipino identity by providing “meaningful” records and studies of the past.

The PHA is a professional association of historians countrywide, which was founded in 1955 by noted historians such as Encarnacion Alzona, Gabriel Fabella, Gregorio Zaide, Nicolas Zafra, Celedonio Resurreccion, Teodoro Agoncilllo and Esteban de Ocampo.

The PHA is also affiliated with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and the Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC).

Talking Points is also produced by the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) and Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO). (PNA) RMA/JCA

SINO ANG CHUMORVA KAY MAGELLAN?

SINO ANG CHUMORVA KAY MAGELLAN?


By Stanley Palisada

“Sino ang CHUMORVA kay Magellan?” asks University of Asia and the Pacific History professor Alvin Campomanes. History teachers these days go to lengths (and even gimmickry) to make history appealing to students whose interest span is as short as a soap bubble’s life.

“And then my students laugh and I get their attention. I do it not because I just want to make it funny but that way naka-connect ako sa estudyante,”  justifies Campomanes.

By the way the answer to the question would be Lapu-Lapu, not the fish. Who  is  Lapu-Lapu  is another story buried in  the mythical yesteryears of this country where the rest of our history and heroes lie in state. Revisiting dates, places and names is not the coolest thing when you’re a teenager oozing with hormones and  trapped in a 1 p.m. History class under a teacher whose previous career was reading the “Cenaculo.”
The way history is generally taught in schools has led (partly) to the untimely demise of interest in History itself. An insipid teaching style and poor retention of students are the outlying reasons why interest in history is history.

A recent survey on heroes that we conducted drew a handful of the most far-fetched historical tidbits from today’s youth. A respondent said (very confidently) that Andres Bonifacio led flag-raising and Independence Day ceremonies in Cavite, an ignorant credit grab from Emilio Aguinaldo who was the one who held the flag and not the bolo.

Another respondent said Emilio Aguinaldo is “ang taong nasa pera” and that’s as far as he knows in spite of his being a college freshman and having survived his elementary and high school history classes.

A Philippine historian, Michael Xiao Chua explains that confusion results when kids are taught to memorize historical facts alone.  History is not a “fill in the blanks,  fill up the calendar”  undertaking.  Like Journalism it’s equally important to know the “hows and the whys”, aside from the whos, whats, wheres, and whens. The hows and whys provide meaning to events.

“Ang History ay salaysay na may saysay,” says 24-year old Chua who is also the vice president of the Philippine Historical Association in spite of  his youth. “Nire-remind tayo ng ating common experiences para magkaisa ang Pilipino.  Mayroon tayong common na karanasan, kolonyalismo, sama-sama tayong naghirap sa digmaan,” Chua said.

But lackluster teaching to an uninspired student is not to blame entirely. It is also pitiable that preoccupation with survival and the rush to overcome poverty make many see history a whim fit only for those who have spare time or resources.

According to Philippine historian, Celestina Boncan PhD, Filipinos can be on the road to greatness if they know their journey. “It’s as if history is an intangible that  cannot  fill up the stomach or cannot wipe hunger. But learning or understanding history is the spirit that would drive our people to become great,” Boncan said.
It’s been a while since we allowed our heroes to inspire us to love our country the way they did. We hailed them during the 2000 Centennial Celebrations but forgot all about them after the party.
And how can we love a country we don’t know?

“Ang isang mamahalin mo, kikilalanin mo muna. Hindi mo pwedeng mahalin ang isang bagay na di mo alam, na di mo kilala,” explained another Philippine historian Jonathan Balsamo.

Lastly, History is learning the past, and learning from the past.

Why do we as a country, stay trapped in a cycle of poverty, corruption, and bad governance? Why do we keep missing the lessons of the years that came and went?

It’s because in our journey, we Filipinos are engrossed with today and the future, that we don’t look back. In so doing, we’re merely walking in circles.*

XIAO CHUA @ GSIS MUSEUM: SI RIZAL NG PARISIAN LIFE

Okay, simula raw ngayong taon, wala na raw ang Annual Rizal Lecture kapag Rizal Day. Mas nakikita yata nila ang boring na pagbabasa ng mga papel ukol kay Rizal KAYSA sa PAGKAKAROON ng PATULOY na TALASTASAN ukol kay Rizal at sa Kasaysayan. Sayang.

Anyway, may lecture si Xiao sa GSIS Museum ukol kay Rizal at sa Parisian Life ni Juan Luna. Gaganapin ito sa December 24, 12nn-4pm.

Heto ang pabatid-paanyaya mula kay Xiao: "GSIS MUSEUM OF ART invites you to a free lecture to close the Rizal sesquicentennial year of the museum. Si Xiao Chua (Michael Charleston Briones Chua) ay magbibigay ng isang presentasyon, "SI RIZAL NG 'PARISIAN LIFE': Iba't Ibang Pananaw at Chika Kay Jose Rizal" sa 29 Disyembre 2011, Huwebes, 12nn - 4pm sa GSIS Museo ng Sining. May libreng pagpapalabas pelikula rin ng pelikula ni Matt Baguinon, "Ang Tao sa Piso" bago ang lektura. Ang dokumentaryo ay nagkamit ng unang gantimpala sa Howie Severino docufest at ang direktor nito ay binigyan ng natatanging banggit ng Palasyo ng Malacanang. Handog sa inyo ng GSIS Museum sa pamumuno ni Direktor Ryan Palad. Baka isa rin ito sa mga huling lektura na mangyari sa harap ng "Parisian Life" ni Juan Luna kung matutuloy ang pag-alis nito sa GSIS."

From EDSA to Cory Aquino Avenue?

Cory's uncle helped rename EDSA from Highway 54
abs-cbnNEWS.com
Posted at 11/24/2011 5:33 PM | Updated as of 11/24/2011 5:36 PM
mula sa: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/11/24/11/corys-uncle-helped-rename-edsa-highway-54

MANILA, Philippines – Not many Filipinos remember but it was an uncle of the late former President Corazon Aquino who pushed for the renaming of Highway 54 into Epifanio delos Santos Avenue.

Carmen Suva is the granddaughter of Filipino scholar Epifanio delos Santos.

She said Aquino’s uncle, Rizal Rep. Juan Francisco Sumulong, helped sponsor a bill pushing for the renaming of the highway after the scholar, journalist and historian from Malabon. The bill was approved on April 7, 1959 and became Republic Act 2140.

“The irony of that, si Don Juan [Francisco] Sumulong na tiyuhin ni tita Cory na siya ang nagpipilit na ipangalan kay Epifanio delos Santos ang EDSA,” Suva told ABS-CBN's "Umagang Kay Ganda."

EDSA significance

While Aquino’s contributions to the country cannot be dismissed, historian Jonathan Balsamo from the Philippine Historical Association said changing the name of EDSA at this point in history would be hard.

Balsamo explained that the Filipino people already have some affinity to the name EDSA. He said thousands of Filipinos gathered on EDSA during the 1986 People Power revolution to remove President Ferdinand Marcos from power.

“Napakahalaga niya sa kasaysayan ng bansa dahil alam natin na 2 o 3 himagsikan ang naganap sa EDSA at sa contemporary history, pagkatapos ng panahon ni Marcos, ang EDSA ay katumbas na ng pagbabalik ng demonskrasya,” Balsamo said.

“Kung papalitan ang EDSA sa pagiging Corazon Aquino Avenue, sa tingin ko maaaring magdulot ito ng kalituhan o pagbabago sa maraming bagay,” he added.

Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman echoed Balsamo’s opinion on the issue.

He recognized the noble motives of Bohol Rep. Rene Relampagos, author of House Bill 5422 which seeks to change the name of the 24-kilometer road, but said “such good intentions cannot justify the alteration of history.”

“EDSA must not be changed as it is a constant reminder to the tyrannical tendencies of national leaders, now and in the future, and to uphold at all times the supremacy of the Constitution and the ascendency of the rule of law,” he said.

Heritage Act of 2009

Carminda Arevalo, officer-in-charge of the Research, Publications and Heraldy Division of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), noted that the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009 already considers EDSA, being over 50 years old, a “historical street”.

The law states that historical street names “shall not be allowed to be renamed by a local or national legislation, unless approved by the National Historical Institute, and only after due hearing on the matter.”

Seminar on Risk and Disaster Management for Cultural Institutions

Announcement from the Ortigas Foundation

Insider’s Guide to Risk and Disaster Management for Cultural Institutions: A Seminar

December 1, 2011

8am-5pm

Php 1500.00 (includes meals, kit and certificate)

On December 1, the Ortigas Foundation Library and Lopez Memorial Museum will hold a one-day seminar on Risk and Disaster Management for Cultural Institutions. Open to libraries, museums, galleries and members of the public who undertake the task of maintaining cultural heritage, the seminar has a registration fee of Php1500.00.

The Philippines is ranked fourth among countries with the most number of casualties brought about by disasters as well as man-made calamities, and third in the UN’s Disaster Risk Index. Apart from the lives lost, records in the form of documents, photographs, artifacts etc that embody the tangible cultural heritage become victims to these events. ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property) encourages that these be incorporated into existing risk and disaster management plans to ensure their survival during and after the disasters. Lectures and exercises to be given by Ma. Victoria Herrera and Peter Natividad of the Mind Museum and the Lopez Memorial Museum respectively focus on these.

The Ortigas Foundation Library is located at the 2^nd floor of Ortigas Building, Ortigas corner Meralco Avenues, Pasig City. Library days and hours are Mondays to Saturdays, 8:30-6pm , except holidays. For more information on the seminar, please call 631- 2417 and 631- 1231 locals 222 and 228 or email admin@lopez-museum.org or ortigasfoundation@ortigas.com.ph.

AMAYA: PAGSILIP SA LIPUNANG PILIPINO NOONG IKA-16 NA DANTAON

AMAYA: PAGSILIP SA LIPUNANG PILIPINO NOONG IKA-16 NA DANTAON

O Kung Bakit Dapat Panoorin at Suportahan ng mga Pilipino, lalo na ng mga Guro at Mag-Aaral ng Kasaysayan ang Epikseryeng “Amaya” ng GMA7.

“Iisa lang ang adhikain ng mga gumawa ng Amaya: Ipakita na ang Pilipinas, bago pa man nasakop ng kastila ay may sarili nang mayamang tradisyon at kultura.” – Suzette Doctolero

“For a historical fiction-based story that has never been tried on Philippine television before, it’s daring in terms of epic scope. Meaning, even if the central love story or drama is fiction, everything surrounding it is based on history – from culture, customs, demeanor to look.” - Direk Mac Alejandre

“Mahalagang palabas na ito dahil pinapaksa nito ang ang ika-16 dantaong kalinangang Pilipino sa Visayas. Fictional ang kwento at sumasakay sa pang-uniberal na tema ng pag-ibig, pagkapuot, tunggalian sa kapangyarihan, etc pero nakapatong ito sa partikularidad ng ating kalinangang maritimo at kamalayan sa pangangayaw at pangungubat na mahalaganga batayan sa pag-unawa ng kasaysayang Pilipino – Dr. Vic Villan

Mamayang gabi, mapanood na ng buong bansa ang pinakahihintay na epikserye ng GMA7 na AMAYA na inilarawan bilang "the most expensive and grandest show that the Kapuso Network is producing" at kinilala bilang " the one that would revolutionize the landscape of Philippine TV".

Malaking produksiyon. Pinagkagastusan. Makasaysayan. At sa wika nga ng mga kabataan ngayon, masasabing...“Wow, Epic!”

Kabisayaan noong ika-16 na dantaon ang setting ng palabas na umiikot sa kuwento ni AMAYA, isang prinsesa na naging alipin, mandirigma at mamumuno sa kanyang bayan, o banwa. Paliwanag ng headwriter at bumuo ng kuwento at konsepto ng palabas na si Suzette Doctolero: “Historical fiction ho ang Amaya. 1500's po ito. Noong panahong ang (tabing) dagat ang pinakamainam na tirahan ng ating mga ninuno. Dahil historical fiction ito, ginamit ko ang character ng isang binukot bilang main character sa amaya. isang binukot at ang kanyang journey to fulfill her destiny (hindi bilang magiging asawa lang, kungdi isang babaing pinuno). kung paano mangyayari iyon, na ang isang binukot ay naging warrior, yun po ang kwento.”

Isang taon ang inabot ng pananaliksik at pag-iisip bago tuluyang maging ganap na proyekto ng GMA7 ang Amaya. Sa payo ng ilang mga histoyador sa UP Diliman, napiling pagtuunan ng pansin ang pagbuo ng isang “historical fiction” na magpapakita ng kulturang Pilipino bago ang kolonisasyon. Serye ukol kay Lapu-Lapu ang unang naging plano na gawin.

Binubuksan ng palabas na ito ang maraming pintuan upang ating makita o masilip at tuluyang pasukin ang bahagi ng ating kasaysayan, bilang isang bansa, na hindi pa natin ganap na nalalaman at nauunawaan -- ang malawak at mahabang sinaunang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Bahaging malabo sa ating imahinasyon, o hindi pa nga bahagi ng ating kamalayan. Gamit ang bisa at kapangyarihan ng media, ng telebisyon, ng makabagong teknolohiya, ang AMAYA ay isang makabuluhan at matapang na pagtatangkang baguhin ang ating pananaw at pagyamanin ang ating kaalaman sa ating nakaraan, sa ating kasaysayan.

Dahil sa paggamit sa kasaysayan at kultura ng Kabisayaan noong panahong prekolonyal, bilang batayan sa hinabing kuwento ni AMAYA, inaasahang samu’t sari at iba-ibang usapin, debate at diskusyon ang mabubuksan. Narito ang ilang paglilinaw, mula mismo sa bumuo ng konsepto ng AMAYA, si Suzette Doctolero:

“Hindi ko po ginawa ang Amaya para lang sa pera. Otherwise, sana nag stick ako sa formula na lang ng iyakang soap kasi mas madali itong gawin kesa ubusin ko ang isang taon ko sa pagreresearch lang. Ginawa ko po ang Amaya dahil ako po ay may pagmamahal sa bansa ko at gusto kong ipakita na ang Pilipinas, specifically ang Visaya, kung saan ako nagmula, ay may mayaman at magandang kultura na ..bago pa dumating ang mga mananakop. Hindi po pera pera lang ito. Lalot hindi kami sigurado na ang genre na ganito ay papanoorin. Lalot heavy stuff ang paksa. Unlike kung simpleng dramahan lang like Mara Clara na patok agad sa audience at nagra rate. Itong Amaya, unang pagsubok ng historical fiction na genre. Kaya hindi pa subok kung ito ay kakagatin ng tao lalot may layon na maging medyo educational siya. Kaya ito po ay ginawa hindi lang sa pera. Pagsusulat po ito na may kasamang kaluluwa.

“..sa 90 million na Filipino-- ilang porsyento lang ba ang nakakaalam na may tradisyung ganito pala ang mga Pinoy? Re amaya---ive wanted to do a historical fiction na ang setting ay pre hispanic philippines. Thing is, hindi kumpleto ang tala hinggil sa pre hispanic times natin lalot mas oras tradition tayo -- so mas maraming nasusulat na facts about visayas pre hispanic times lalot may mga tala si pigafetta, na kinalat ni william henry scott sa kanyang librong barangay (na siyang bibliya ng amaya). Dahil Visayas ang setting namin, ginamit ko ang binukot (sa huling pagkakaalam ko, ang panay o iloilo ay nasa Visayas pa rin, unless, nag-iba na geography natin? :)). Bakit hindi ko gagamitin ang binukot? Lalo't napaka fascinating na may ganito palang tadisyon ang kabisayaan? hindi namin binanggit ang panay-- lalot ang pagbibinukot ay nag spread out din naman sa buong kabisayaan (may mga binukot din naman sa cebu-- na nakatala sa chronicles ni pigafetta) - basta anak ng datu, o tumao, ginagawang binukot. lalot big time ang bugay (bride price) nito. now, kung paanong naging warrior ang isang binukot--- hayaan nyong isalasaysay ng soap. Hindi pwedeng matigas agad, na hindi pwedeng maging warrior ang binukot? hahaha ayokong patayin sa boredom ang audience na binukot lang siya all throughout the series-- aba, anong kwento? may kwento. at yun ay kung paanong ang binukot ay naging slave,, alabay-- to babaylan-=- to warriror--- to being a female leader. Aba, manood po tayo. :P

“Lahat ng ganimit namin, character model, ibang terms, puro kabisayaan ang pinagmulan. Note: Bisaya. Kabisayaan. Sakop nito ang mga tradisyun sa Panay (binukot at Hinilawod-- dahil may scene na kinakanta ni Amaya ang Hinilawod), sa Cebu (babaylan, paniniwala sa kambal ahas, pagtira sa tabi ng dagat), paniniwala sa mga diwata, sa mga umalagad-- itoy tradisyong Visaya.

“...ang character na si Amaya ay isang binukot na nakatira sa isang banwa na ahop ni Datu Bugna (o hindi ba nanapaka generic?). Ayaw naming magkamali, na gagamit ng isang lugar lang, ginamit namin ang lahat ng magagandang tradisyun at paniniwala sa ibat ibang pook/lugar sa Visayas at ipinasok sa isang soap na magtatanghal kahit paano sa pre hispanic Visayas.

“Iisa lang ang adhikain ng mga gumawa ng Amaya (mapa writers, director etc): Ipakita na ang Pilipinas, bago pa man nasakop ng kastila ay may sarili nang mayamang tradisyun at kultura. Iyon lang. By the time ipalabas ang Amaya, sigurado ako, marami ang magkaka interes na mag research about binukot....o iba pang aspeto na ipapakita sa soap. Kugn mangyari iyan, hindi ba maganda? So i dont think me problema tayo. Unless, magpapaka regionalistic tayo masyado--- na hindi naman nais o layon ng soap. Ang gusto namin, maging pro Philippines tayong lahat.

“Ang storlyline ng Amaya ay hindi "binukot women are from central visayas"... Ang storyline ko: kwento ng isang binukot, sa panahon ang mga lalaki ang political leader, at kung paanong ang binukot na ito, ay maging isang warrior/leader- at a time na hindi maaaring maging leader warrior ang isang babae. Binukot ang ginamit ko dahil maaaring prize possesion sila ng kanilang ama, pero considered "weak" sila. so interesting gawing strong ang isang weak. Fictional ito ha. Hindi kami nagki claim na documentary siya. O historical talaga. We always say na historical fiction siya. Malinaw iyan.

“The binukot episodes will only run for a week or so Not more than 2 weeks) where the young amaya is being thought how to weave, chant epics (hence the use of Hinilawod-- mula sa Panay uli, in its original language---hopefully di macut--- now young Amaya reciting the Hinilawod. We used all written materials from different parts ng Visayas and we weaved it in our story. Walang masama doon. Lalot makakadagdag sa adhikain na ipakita na ang Pinas ay may kultura at paniniwala na bago pa dumating ang mga espanyol. For me to stick to only one island in the Visayas is to limit myself sa existing materials or records ng pre hispanic Visaya. Masyadong limiting yun. Lalot limitado din naman ang records per island. Thats why weve used all available materials, information, sa ibat ibang parte ng Kabisayaan (kaya nga ginamit din ang binukot) sa kwento. Note: ang paggamit ng baybay dagat bilang tirahan sa Amaya ay desisyung kailangang gawin, bilang mas visual ang dagat, at bilang isa ring paraan para ipakita ng kahalagahan ng dagat noong pre hispanic Phils (may mga binukot din sa Samar Leyte, na nakita ng mga espanyol noong una silang dumating dito-- at baybay dagat ito). Ang baybay dagat kasi ang preferred tirahan ng karamihan lalot ibang klase ang kaalaman ng mga Visaya sa boat building at navigation sa dagat (kung sa bundok ako, paano ko ipapakita iyon?). The point is, to use all available material sa buong Visayas at gamitin sa kwento. Kesa mag stick sa isang isla o lugar lang na hindi rin naman kumpleto ang historical records.”

Panoorin ang isang kuwentong hinabi batay sa kaligirang pangkasaysayan ng Kabisayaan noong ika-16 na Dantaon. Mamangha sa paggamit ng mga konsepto at detalye sa sinaunang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas na nababasa lamang sa textbook (kung nababanggit man).

Sa mga guro at mag-aaral, at nagmamahal/nagpapahalaga sa Kasaysayan, suportahan po natin ang AMAYA ng GMA7, isang malaking ambag sa ating kaalaman at kamalayan sa ating nakaraan. Dahil dito, KAPUSO na ako!

Sige, gumawa tayo ng listahan ng mga dahilan kung bakit ito dapat tangkilikin ng ating bayan! (Mula sa blog, facebook, atbp.)

1) Jonathan Balsamo (Philippine Historical Association): “Nakatutuwang isipin pa na maraming Pilipino ang walang alam o di alam ang kasaysayan ng Pinas bago magsulat ang mga Kastila.... kaya WOW ang ginawang ito ng GMA7, sana masundan pa! Kinilabutan ako kanina sa preview dahil naipasok sa palabas ang mga konsepto at detalyeng pangkasaysayan sa sinaunang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas, o ng mundo ng mga ninuno natin noon (dahil wala pa ngang konsolidasyon/integrasyong pambansa noon). Naiintindihan kong kinailangan ng magandang kuwentong hahatak ng interes ng manonood, habang nagkakaroon ng pagtatangkang ipakita ang isang rekonstruksiyon o interpretasyon. batay sa kaligirang kasaysayan, ng sinaunang lipunan na mayroon sa ating bansa. ASTIG! Lagpas na sa usapin ng ratings ang halaga nito, pero higit ay ang pagpapalakas sa interes sa kasaysayan at kultura ng ating mga kababayan, na maaring maging umpisa upang makilala natin at mahalin ang ating bayan. Salamat po! at sa commitment ng GMA7 sa proyektong ito. Laking tulong para sa mga guro natin ng kasaysayan!

2) Vicente Caluba Villan (UP Diliman History Department): “ mahalaga tong palabas na to dahil pinapaksa nito ang ang ika-16 dantaong kalinangang Pilipino sa Visayas. fictional ang kwento at sumasakay sa pang-uniberal na tema ng pag-ibig, pagkapuot, tunggalian sa kapangyarihan etc pero nakapatong ito sa partikularidad ng ating kalinangang maritimo at kamalayan sa pangangayaw at pangungubat na mahalaganga batayan sa pag-unawa ng kasaysayang Pilipino

3) Tara Reyes (Bagong Kasaysayan, Inc.): Friends, pls. watch Amaya on may 30 GMA channel 7. Kaisang-isang beses na nag-promote ako ng teleserye kaya alam niyo na! Magaling ang kinuha nilang consultant sa Kasaysayan. Dalawin ang fb page nila para sa background ng mga kultural na konsepto ng sinaunang mga Pilipino. Yey sa GMA sa pag-invest sa mga palabas na DAPAT PINAPANOOD SA KABATAANG PILIPINO!

4) Ian Alfonso (Holy Angel University): At least hindi na mahihirapan ang mga guro ng kasaysayan sa pagpapaliwanag ng matandang Pilipinas dahil sa Amaya ng GMA 7! tiyak papatok yan. Maniwala kayo at tingnan nyo kung paano mababago muli ng GMA ang kasaysayan ng telebisyon. Mapangahas at kritikal ang pinasok niyo pern kailangang simulan na. Hehe. Ihanda lamang ang mga sarili ninyo sa constructive crticsms ng mga historyador at iskolar ng kasaysayan. Kapanalig nyo ang malaking bahagi ng lipunan - ang edukasyon. Kaya maraming manunuod

5) Xiao Chua (De La Salle University History Department): BINUKOT ANG CODE NAME KO PARA SA MAGANDA AT MAPUTING BABAE. Natutunan ko ito sa mentor kong si Dr. Vicente Caluba Villan, isang Historyador Ng Bayan. Ngayon, hindi ko na siya pwedeng gawing code name dahil malalaman na ng madla ang kahulugan nito, at nang iba pang mga termino mula sa kabihasnang Bisaya katulad ng Hangaway, Timawa, Mangubat, Bagani, Pungsod, Banua, Uripon, Kalag, Bulawan, Karakoa na natutunan ko mula sa kanya. sa preview ng Amaya noong Biyernes, hindi ako makapaniwala! Ang aming pinangarap na mga aral na ipalaganap tulad ng kabihasnang Pilipino lalo sa Kabisayaan, ang galing natin sa paglalayag at pakikidigma (pangungubat, pangangayaw) at patunayan na may kultura tayo noon at hindi tayo bobo, ay nakikita kong isinasadula sa aking harapan ng mga sikat na artista.

Bagama't kathang isip ang kwento, ang kultura at historical background ay mas o menos swak sa kasaysayan. Commendable ang pagrespeto sa kakayahan at gawain ng mga historyador na sa aking palagay ay binigyan ng tamang kompensasyon, at hindi lamang token na pakikinig sa kanila kundi pagsama sa mga historyador sa tapings. Hamon ito sa iba pang TV networks. Handa naman kaming mga historyador na makipagtulungan sa inyo, kapit bisig tayo dahil kapag naging proud tayo sa kultura natin, mas sasaya tayo sa pagpapagal para sa Pilipinas!

Kaya naman aking inirerekomenda na panoorin ang Amaya ng aking mga estudyante, kaguro at kaibigan, sapagkat nadama ko sa panonood nito na nirespeto kaming mga historyador, at nirespeto ang manonood na Pilipino sa pagbibigay ng isang kaaaliwan ngunit matalinong palabas.

6) Ros Costelo (UP Los Banos) - Isa akong kapamilya pero hinding-hindi ko papalampasin ang Amaya. Sa mga estudyante kong nagtitext sa akin about this show, alam nyo na. Sabay-sabay tayong matuto ng sinaunang kasaysayan at kalinangang Pilipino sa palabas na ito.

*Galing ang mga paglilinaw ni Ms Suzette Doctolero sa http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150185850093640 kung saan makitid ang pagpuna nila sa paggamit sa binukot bilang bahagi ng kuwento ng AMAYA.

Ano ang masasabi ninyo? Comment na!
