PHILIPPINE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 2013 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
“GAT ANDRES BONIFACIO: HUWARAN NG KATAPANGAN, SANDIGAN NG KABAYANIHAN”
August 22-24, 2013
Skylight Hotel, Rizal Avenue, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan
Andres Bonifacio, founder of the revolutionary society Katipunan that launched the nationalist revolution against Spain in 1896, celebrates his 150th birth anniversary on November 30, 2013. The Philippine Historical Association joins the Filipino nation in celebrating this historic date by adopting “Gat Andres Bonifacio: Huwaran ng Katapangan, Sandigan ng Kabayanihan” (Isang Paggunita sa 150 Taong Anibersaryo ng Kapanganakan ng Supremo ng Katipunan) as the theme of its 2013 Annual Conference. The conference aims to define the role of Andres Bonifacio in the founding of the Katipunan, to understand the place of the Katipunan in shaping the 1896 Philippines Revolution, and to develop a critical understanding of the 1896 Philippine Revolution and the creation of a Filipino nation-state in 1898-1899.
Session One is on Andres Bonifacio, in particular the controversies that hounded him --- first, the debate on whether he should be considered as the first president of the Philippines (Milagros Guerrero: Si Bonifacio ba ang Unang Pangulo ng Pilipinas?), second, the circumstances of Bonifacio’s trial and execution (Luis Dery: Trial and Execution of Andres Bonifacio).
Session Two is on key personalities or figures of the Katipunan --- Andres Bonifacio (Augusto de Viana; Ang Konsepto ng Inang Bayan sa Himagsikang 1896); Emilio Jacinto (Jerome Ong: Pag-aaral ng Pilosopiya ng Katipunan ayon sa Kartilya); Gregoria de Jesus (Mary Dorothy Jose: Lakambini ng Katipunan); Pio Valenzuela (Jonathan Balsamo: Papel at Kaugnay na Usapin sa Pagsasakasaysayan ng Himagsikan).
Session Three is on the various places where the Revolution took place --- in Manila (Celestina Boncan: Ang Kamaynilaan noong 1896, Pagmamapa ng Himagsikan); in Luzon (Estrellita Muhi: The Ilocos Region and the Philippine Revolution); in the Visayas (Vicente Villan: Ang Himagsikan sa Visayas); and in Mindanao (Neil Santillan: Ang Himagsikan sa Mindanao) --- including the battles and the nature of the encounters that took place and the generals who led the fighting.
Session Four takes a look at Andres Bonifacio, the Katipunan and the Revolution beyond the confines of the end days of the 19th century through a prospective of the national hero controversy between Rizal and Bonifacio (Oscar Evangelista: Demystifying the Rizal-Bonifacio National Hero Controversy), the continuity of indigenous methods of warfare first demonstrated by the Katipunan (Arleigh dela Cruz: Pana at Palaso, Kamote at Monggo, Anting-Anting, Dasal at Nobena: Mga Katutubong Pamamaraan ng Pakikipaglaban noong Panahon ng Himagsikan 1896-1897) and the significance of the Revolution to Filipino national life (Ian Christopher Alfonso: Symbolisms of the Revolution). A workshop caps the conference (Evelyn Songco: Evaluation and Measurement in the Teaching of Philippine Revolution).
Registration fee is Php 3,500 that includes conference kit and complimentary copy of Historical Bulletin, snacks and lunch for August 22-23. Participants who will pay on or before June 30, 2013 can avail of the discounted registration fee of Php 3,000.00.
