i. Discussion
 What is the form and function of a Filipino Social Science?
Why do we need to have a Filipino social science – an Agham
Panlipunang Pilipino? Why do we need to make the systematic study of
society more attuned to the Filipino? More than an intellectual “selfie” of
what we do here in the Philippine academic scene, the struggle for a
Filipino-led academic social science is about believing in the idea that the
Filipino has something to offer to global study of society. This means that
we do not only copy or implement established models from the West, but
we also actively theorize based on our own set of realities and experiences.
The history of our nation, the nature of our society, and the character of
our people should influence the way we understand the processes of our
lives and surroundings. In essence, Social Science could not be separated
from the realities of a given society and this should always take into account
its history, people, and surroundings.
 Pambansang
Photobomber is
what they call the
building which
serves as an
unwanted
backdrop to the
iconic monument
of the national
hero, Jose Rizal.
It is located in Luneta Park, Manila where the condominium building
seems to distract viewers and distorts the immaculate and postcardworthy scenery of the Rizal Shrine.
Is it really just a matter of perspective” or do we recognize the fact that the
issue of national dignity, tradition, and heritage is a reality that must be
given due consideration and respect? It is ironic to note that the monument
of Jose Rizal, who epitomizes the Filipino struggle for dignity and honor, is
now the subject of controversy due to an allegedly blatant disregard for not
only the national hero but also for our national history and memory.
 Philippine Social Science or “indigenized social science”
Indigenization is a process in which there is a purposive and conscious
effort to translate and interpret foreign academic concepts, canons and
methods. The point is that ideas – academic tenets and intellectual trends –
can never be imported at face value. It can never be made useful without
refashioning it into the rhythm and tempo of a particular group of people.
Hence, the word “indigenization” refers to a process, in fact, a tedious and
long process, of acceptance and understanding, in which those foreign
concepts and idea are made relevant to a specific group of people whose
culture and history differ very much from the originators of the said
“imported” ideas.

Do we clamor for intellectual independence or a Continued State
of Academic Dependency?
Do we simply copy what we see from the outside and attempt to employ
or apply it in our specific situation? While some have been successful in
this endeavor, a lot of them failed as well. For those who have become
successful, there was something that facilitated its success. More often

than not, it was culture and an appropriate cultural translation and
adaptation. Let us take for example, the field of business and commerce
where introduction of a foreign product is part and parcel of economic
growth and dynamic, capitalist ventures. When introducing a foreign
brand or a product for Filipino consumers, market strategists have learned
that somehow, they should be able to culturally “translate” those products
or business ideas into the needs of their prime targets – the Filipino
consumers.
Three Strands of Agham Panlipunang Pilipino (Filipino Social
Science)
 Pantayong Pananaw/Bagong Kasaysayan, Pilipinolohiya, and
Sikolohiyang Pilipino were spearheaded by Zeus Salazar, Prospero
Covar, and Virgilio Enriquez. Incidentally, all of them are from the
University of the Philippines, of the same generation, and were part
of the intellectual ferment for the Philippine academe during 1970s.
Salazar is a historian-ethnologist, Covar is an anthropologist, and
Enriquez is a psychologist.
Pantayong Pananaw posits that history is not only about recording
of events, much like the tradition of historia/histoire/history of the
West but also about finding meaning in past events. That is why we
are very lucky that we have a rich discourse on this matter based on
the indigenous concept, kasaysayan, which is about the past based on
the idea of saysay or meaning. Salazar went on to propose a new
timeline or periodization of Philippine history, which he calls
Bagong Kasaysayan (or new history) based on the internal logic of
historical events and not on the traditional and colonial parameters of
periodization such as the coming of the colonizers in successive
periods.

Pilipinolohiya (or Philippine Studies) also states that the Philippines
and the Filipinos must be studied and investigated using
methodologies and conceptual tools drawn from Filipino culture,
society, and experience. Pilipinolohiya is a response to the seeming
academic imperialism of which and powerful Western nations.
Almost all of them have established cooperation agencies and
specialized study centers in developing countries in order to maintain
their influence and control under the guise of economic cooperation
and pursuit of intellectual interests.

ASSIGNMENT


Did you see and were you able to ride a

characteristics, design, history, signs,
symbols, etc. Also, answer the following
questions below:
- What can you say about the people who ride this particular
mode of transportation? What can you say about the
owner/driver?
