textbook, students are required to seek the primary sources on their own and few, if at all, head to the school library. Physical books are analog. Eew! Old fashioned. Jurassic. So they go online and drown in raw, undigested information.

Bienvenido Lumbera mined these for early Tagalog poetry, William Henry Scott for insights into life and technology at the time.

This manuscript comes with illustrations that show us how Filipinos dressed at the time.
