39. 2. PANTAYONG PANANAW
is the “from-us-for-us”

Philippine history.

40. • Proposed in the 1970s by Zeus A. Salazar (b.
1934) who is a UP History professor, it is a
communication-based framework whose aim
is to produce a "national" discourse
(“talastasang bayan”) on Philippine history
and therefore help enforce national identity as
Filipinos. Salazar points out that Philippine
history was and is written in three
perspectives.

41. 2.1 Pangkayong Pananaw
translated as ‘from-you-for-us’
perspective, is the Western
perspective on studying Philippine
history using their standards or
external interpretation of Filipino
culture

is designed by and for
Westerners in judging local
culture that are different to
them.

43. 2.2 Pangkaming Pananaw
translated as ‘from-us-to-you’ perspective, is the
result of Western-trained Filipino historians who
rewrite the history made by Westerners and
provided alternative analysis of local culture.
They used English or Spanish as a medium of
writing Philippine history. For Salazar this is still
meant to be read by Westerners and not for
consumption by Filipinos.

44. 2.3 Pantayong Pananaw
is the history that should be
written and primarily consumed by
Filipinos since it used the Filipino
language as the medium of
discourse in explaining and
analyzing Philippine culture.

meaning and its relationship among
ideas are to be in Filipino language18
because it is through this medium that
the people can better understand their
history and culture.
