The story of our country’s beginning will always give us pride and fascination. From the hunting and gathering
stage of the earliest Negritos and Malayo-Polynesian people up to the time when Ferdinand Magellan discovered the
Philippine Islands and named it Islas de San Lazarus.
Our history as a nation underwent series of ups and downs. We were colonized by the westerners and an Asian
neighbor. Different cultures, traditions and values shaped the kind of nation that we are now. Moreover, we were not just
shaped as a nation sociologically but also in the field of Science and Medicine, Engineering, Education and the
Government and Politics. We are indeed a country infused with the ideas of the east and west, just like the policies that we
have now in the government. The passing of the divorce bill for 3rd and final reading in the House of Representatives, the
much-talked death penalty bill, the cultural and territorial tensions of our country with China and the return of the
Marcoses’ in the Malacanang palace have so much more to say to the kind of orientation that we have now as a Filipino
people.
It is just but fitting to ask-What now? What happened to us as a nation and State who have been colonized for
almost 350 years? Were we able to grasps the lessons of the past and doing what is due of us the present? Let us find out
in this module the evolution of our Philippine government and politics.
