Prehispanic Source Materials for the Study of Philippine History

Excerpt from the Preface: 'The purpose of this book is to present a critical summary of what is actually known about the Filipino people before the beginning of Spanish records in 1521 from a consideration of the sources produced before that time. It does not propose to write history or prehistory, but rather to serve as an introduction to the facts which are available to historians who might wish to write it, teachers with need to teach it, and students desiring to learn it.' -Sagada
