1.) What are the benefits of knowing history?

 There are several benefits we can gain from studying history. First, become a well-
rounded individual. History is filled with inspiring and uplifting stories, as well as chaotic
and immoral ones. If we look into the fascinating world of history, we'll find that there
are many important lessons for us to learn. We will look at periods of hardship and
times of joy, and the lessons we gain can be applied to our own lives. Second, become
inspired. History might also serve to motivate others to achieve greatness. Brilliant
people and their courageous acts that transformed the shape of nations are
remembered throughout history. Learning about the inspirational experiences that
have led us to where we are now provides a great deal of motivation. Lastly, to obtain a
better understanding of the world, by studying history, we can learn about our past
societies, governments, cultures, ideologies, and technologies. The world's rich history
aids us in painting a detailed picture of where we are now.
2.) Why should we learn from the past?

 I believe that understanding one's own country's past is important, and knowing a lie
about history is riskier than knowing nothing about it. One must look and should learn
from the past to gain wisdom and understanding of how to deal with the present.The
past also reveals patterns that have been repeated in successive generations. Knowing
our past provides us a better understanding of how our position as a country depends
on the sacrifices made by our ancestors to get us to where we are now. It gives us
insight into our own cultures as well as cultures with which we are less familiar, allowing
us to gain knowledge and develop more cross-cultural awareness and understanding.
We need to understand our past to see how our identity as a community and a nation is
based on facts and strong historical tradition. By studying this, we may engage in the
present and the future with the assurance that whatever mistakes our ancestors made
in the past will not be repeated in the future. We can also establish our own ways of
dealing with challenges based in the wisdom learned from the past. Without knowledge
about our past, we can't establish a framework on which to build our lives. Our past
provides us a detailed picture of how society, technology, and government functioned
so that we can better understand how they work today. To summarize, understanding
and learning our own past makes us more appreciative, knowledgeable, as well as
equipped us to face the difficulties of the current and future generations by developing
significant resources for a better community that we gain from the past.
3.) Why there is a need to interpret Philippine history from a Filipino point of view?
 There are numerous reasons why Philippine history needs to be interpreted from a
Filipino point of view. One of these is that foreign interpretation is biased and
prejudicial. The writings of these outsiders molded our perceptions of ourselves and our
past, with the majority emphasizing the benefits of Spanish or American colonialism
while ignoring the sufferings that such colonization put on the people (we Filipinos).
Filipino culture and historical growth are compared to the cultural and historical
development of foreigners. Despite the fact that impartiality cannot be achieved in the
telling of history, a Filipino's perspective on history is superior to that of colonial masters
in almost every way. In addition, we Filipinos have a greater familiarity with and
understanding of our own culture and history. Filipino historians consciously set out to
write from a Filipino perspective. Their work placed a greater emphasis on the role of
Filipinos in our own history, criticized Spanish injustices, and portrayed Filipino
resistance to all colonizers with respect and admiration. With this, it could be argued
that we Filipinos are more knowledgeable about our own history, culture, and identity
than foreign historians. Also, the Filipino point of view can help promote nationalism
and patriotism.
4.) What is the important role does history take in the study of Philippine culture?
 One of the variables that aids us in comprehending our responses to current
environmental changes is history. Changing technology, environments, and beliefs have
literally shaped today's society and culture. Such events, which have defined us, are the
consequence of processes and interactions inside the society's existing frameworks and
institutions. The reality and phenomena that most define our society are linked to the
types of daily encounters. History gives the foundation of knowing occurrences that
happened in the past especially culture. It provides a better understanding of the past,
which leads to a better understanding of the present.The interaction through a very
common subject has influenced how individuals live and socialize with other members
of society in the past. As such in the present, social organizations in the Philippines such
as LGBTQ community was formed and united by a common culture and shared ideals of
social movements. The current happenings are linked to the behavioral patterns that
have been passed down from generation to generation in a changing society and
culture. It aids us in being conscious of change, what we must continue to do and why,
what we must not repeat, and what we must change for the future, which, in turn, will
be history itself.
