    Study Notes

    Understanding Sources

    • Sources are essential for studying and writing history.
    • They provide a window into the past.
    • Sources help historians understand events and uncover new information.
    • They help verify the authenticity of other historical documents.
    • A source is anything from which information can be obtained, including people, places, or objects.
    • A historical source is an original material containing historical information.
    • Primary sources are direct accounts of events by those who witnessed them.
    • They consist of eyewitness accounts, diaries, letters, legal documents, photographs, and more.

    Secondary Sources

    • Secondary sources are materials created after an event by those who didn't experience it firsthand.
    • They rely on information from primary sources.
    • Examples of secondary sources include editorials, articles, documentaries, historical studies, biographies, literary criticisms, and book reviews.

    The Difference Between Primary and Secondary Sources

    • Primary sources provide raw information and firsthand evidence.
    • Secondary sources provide second-hand information and commentary from other researchers.
    • Primary sources are more credible, but both are important for good research.

    Accessibility of Official Records

    • Official government records should be accessible to the public.

    Ferdinand Magellan

    • Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who sailed for Spain.
    • He led the first circumnavigation of the Earth, though he died in the Philippines.
    • Magellan proposed sailing westward to find a strait through South America to reach the Spice Islands.
    • His expedition was funded by Spain and faced challenges from Spanish and Portuguese authorities.
    • Magellan's fleet departed from Sanlúcar de Barrameda on September 20, 1519.
    • He named the Pacific Ocean "Mar Pacifico" due to its calm waters.
    • His journey to the Philippines was part of his larger expedition to the Spice Islands.
    • Magellan's fleet encountered difficulties crossing the Pacific Ocean due to scurvy and starvation.

    Fray Juan de Plasencia

    • Plasencia was a Spanish Franciscan friar who spent most of his missionary life in the Philippines.
    • He was born in the early 16th Century as Juan Portacarrero in Plasencia, Spain.
    • He founded numerous towns in Luzon and authored several religious and linguistic books, including Doctrina Christiana.
    • He was a keen observer and gifted writer and submitted reports to his superiors about his missionary work and observations of the Filipinos.
    • Plasencia's work, " Relacion de las Costumbres de Los Tagalogs", is a primary source that provides valuable information about the pre-colonial Tagalog society.

    Historical Context of Plasencia’s Writings

    • During the first century of Spanish rule in the Philippines, Spaniards were reluctant to live outside of Intramuros, leaving local politics largely to the Filipino gobernadorcillos.
    • Friars were tasked with supervising the gobernadorcillos to ensure their loyalty to the Crown.
    • This resulted in friars holding significant administrative power at the local level.
    • They were involved in electing local officials, collecting taxes, educating youth, and performing other civic duties, becoming influential figures in the ir communities.
    • As missionaries, friars were required to report to their superiors about the natives, their way of life, and their conversion progress.

    • It covered topics such as clothing, religious practices, and social customs.
    • The Tagalogs had a complex social structure, including political and economic organization, a tax system, an indigenous calendar, and established customs and traditions.
