issue using primary sources;
b.Exhibit familiarization on controversies and conflicting views in Philippine history;
and
c. Develop critical and analytical skills with exposure to primary sources.

Big Picture in Focus: CLOb- Textual Analysis of selected Primary Sources

Metalanguage

The complete knowledge of the past through credible and reliable sources is essential to
the understanding and learning of the students of their own history. History must be studied
carefully; hence, it necessitates the application of historical method. The intent of the
application of historical method is to make students competent in their interpretation of the
facts and critical of historical narrative presented before him/her.
The students will be engaged in content and contextual analysis of the selected primary
sources. Content analysis is a systematic evaluation of the primary source, e.g. a text, painting,
caricature, and/or speech. In the process students could develop and present an argument
based on their own understanding of the evidences from their readings. Contextual analysis on
the other hand, considers specifically the time, place, and situation during the creation of the
story. The approach is essential to the enhancement of student’s analytical and critical thinking
skills and their ability to articulate their own views on the specific source of information the
students have encountered.

Essential Knowledge

FIRST VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD

Whoever has the willpower to undertake a journey across oceans begets the one entity
desired. The development of Portuguese maritime empire, apparent scientific and
technological advancement, European attraction to Asia’s wealth and spices, incited Spain to
expend for an expedition. Spain along with other European nations engaged in discovering and
taking possessions of lands beyond their continent.
The period of discovery and expansionism began in the 15 th century. This was an event,
which adjoined people from the Eastern and Western civilization. Besides, 15 th century marked
the onset of the intensification of globalization.
The Philippine islands in 1521 have been “rediscovered” by the Spanish commissioned
authority, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese navigator who gained confidence and support
from the monarchy of Spain. This information on rediscovery was narrated by an Italian
chronicler, Antonio Pigafetta. The details of the world’s first circumnavigation were accurately
recorded in his journal. This chronicle served as the lens through which the voyage and
circumnavigation of the world could be apprehended with certainty. It specifically furnished
important details on the discovery of the islands and people inhabiting the place. These people
were the Filipinos’ great ancestors who lived peacefully and abundantly in the area. The
comprehension of the cultural life of these people was made possible through the chronicle of
Pigafetta.
The original narrative of the voyage which was translated by Lord Stanley of Alderley in
English from Spanish was a good material to read.

NOTE: The historical narrative of Antonio Pigafetta is separately uploaded in the LMS.
Read and understand the original text to be able to have a clear grasp of the first voyage
around the world and the discovery of the Philippines.
More than that, quizzes and questions in the exam are coming from Pigafetta’s account.

SITE OF THE FIRST MASS

It has been said that the first Catholic Mass in the Philippines was held on March31,
1521. However, there’s an issue as to where it was celebrated. The start of Christianity in the
Philippines is a controversy because some historians are actually pushing for the recognition of
Masau in Butuan city as the real site of the First Mass. Yet, some had argued that the First Mass
was celebrated in Limasawa (Southern Leyte). The work of Pigafetta is a credible primary
material to help elucidate the perplexity of the topic.
