Kalayaan nga ba talaga?

PODKAS ·

2021/03/19

In 1943, almost two years after Japan launched a surprise attack, the Philippines was "granted" independence under Japan. A new republic was inaugurated, the Second Philippine Republic, led by President Jose P. Laurel. How did this republic come to be, and how were politics under the auspices of Japan? Filipinos have indeed longed for independence, but is this the envisioned independence? We'll answer these and more as we look at Philippine independence sponsored by the Japanese Empire during World

Kalayaan... pero para kanino?

2021/03/12

In this episode, we explore the dynamics of US hegemony in the Philippines as they occupied the country at the turn of the twentieth century by reading the Commission on Independence's petition letter, Filipino grievances against Governor Wood. Of particular interest in this period are the quest for independence through political negotiations and the clash between the Filipino political elite and one very stern American governor-general, Leonard Wood, the petition letter's subject. What were these

What does it mean to be free? In this episode, we demystify some of the issues surrounding Philippine independence—its symbolisms, silences, and misconceptions—by reading the Declaration of Philippine Independence, authored by Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista.

Who killed Bonifacio?

PODKAS ·

2021/02/26

The answer to this episode's question is not as straightforward as some people think, and there needs to be some contextualization on specific events that led to the execution of Bonifacio, particularly, the politics between Magdalo and Magdiwang, the two influential factions of the Katipunan in Cavite. We shed light on one of Philippine history's most contentious controversies by reading Emilio Aguinaldo's Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan. For more information, episodes, shownotes, and other resources

Papasa ka ba sa Katipunan?

PODKAS ·

2021/02/19

Aside from writing the Kartilya ng Katipunan, Emilio Jacinto also wrote Liwanag at Dilim, which detailed the political philosophy of the Katipunan as a movement and an organization, and served as proof why Jacinto has been known to be the "brains of the revolution." We talk about this and more in this episode of PODKAS. Visit our website, www.podkas.org for more information and resources on Philippine history, politics, and society. --- Send in a voice message:

2021/02/12

In this episode, we zone in on the propaganda movement and arguably the wittiest of its firebrands, Marcelo H. Del Pilar. His work, Dasalan at Tocsohan, parodied Catholic prayers and surely agitated the target of the propaganda movement's criticisms, the friars. Join us as we analyze this primary source and the circumstances surrounding the burgeoning agitation for reform that will lead to revolution in the late nineteenth century.

What did the 19th century traveler say?

PODKAS ·

2021/02/05

What's so special about the nineteenth century? Why do scholars call it "the long century," when all centuries are... a hundred years? Why will our great revolutionary heroes appear in this period? And why so many questions? We'll answer all these by reading an outsider's perspective of the Philippines in this century: John Foreman's The Philippine Islands, first published in 1890.

Sasakay ka ba sa galleon?

PODKAS ·

2021/01/29

As soon as a return route from the Philippines to the Americas was established, Spain launched its major scheme to maximize the profits they can get by having a colony in the "far east:" the Galleon Trade. In Manila, galleon ships were loaded mostly with Chinese goods, and traveled to Acapulco, Mexico, crossing the vast Pacific Ocean. Join us as we learn about this trade that lasted for more than two centuries by reading Antonio de Morga's Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas in this new episode of

Timawa ka ba?

PODKAS ·

2021/01/22

Upon arriving in the islands that would become Filipinas, what did the Spaniards do next? They had to find ways to subjugate the native population, so they studied the early Filipinos, resulting in a fascinating peek into the island peoples' customs and traditions. In this episode, we talk about the Franciscan friar Juan de Plasencia’s Relacion de las Costumbres de los Tagalos, more popularly known as Customs of the Tagalogs to explain how they saw the indigenous political and social organization of

Who "discovered" the Philippines?

This year, we remember the 500th anniversary of the "discovery" of the Philippines... see any problems with that statement? In this episode, we analyze and read excerpts from Antonio Pigafetta's First Voyage Around the World by Magellan and simultaneously critique how we tend to view the "first" contact between Europe and what would become the Philippines half a millennia ago.

Who can be a historian?

PODKAS ·

2020/12/29

I read a history book and watched a historical controversy video on YouTube. Am I a historian now? Not so fast. There are certain ideals and qualities desirable for one to be a historian, and it is not as easy as watching a video or getting a degree in History. In the context of a field that is not professionally regulated, how could we ensure that historians are the real deal? We tackle these issues, and more, in this episode of PODKAS. --- Send in a voice message:

When is an event historical?

How do we know when an event is historically important? To unpack this dilemma, Aaron discusses the elements of history, Vec answers the question “what makes history happen,” and Lee explains chronology and periodization. Ultimately, these discussions attempt to clarify how an event comes to be considered as part of history. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podkas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podkas/support

What is history, and what is not?

This primer (of sorts…) would not be complete without us talking about what is History. But shouldn’t we also ask, what is History not? In this episode, we talk about history as the past and a narrative, History as inquiry, and using h/History as propaganda. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podkas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podkas/support
