Research Seminar on “The Philippines in Portuguese Sources”
Centre for Intercultural Studies, University of Santo Tomas
October 21-22, 2003
In celebration of Portuguese Week in Manila, from October 21-22, 2003, a research seminar on “Portuguese Sources for the History of the Philippines” was held on October 21-22 at the Centre for Intercultural Studies (CIS) of the University of Santo Tomas. This academic activity was the result of the initiatives of the Embassy of Portugal headed by Ambassador João Caetano da Silva and Counsellor Isabel Margarida Bela Ferreira.
Two Portuguese historians – Dr. José Manuel Garcia and Dr. Victor Gomes Teixeira, both researchers from the Portuguese Center for Southeast Asian Studies – both of whom also came to the Philippines last year - presented their research papers at the two-day seminar. Dr. Garcia read a paper on “The Philippines in Portuguese 16th Century Chronicles: Maritime Strategies, Political Alliances, Economic Trade and Slavery.” He also launched his book on the same subject on October 21, attended by a select group of academics and the diplomatic corps. Dr. Teixeira’s paper was on “The Philippines in Portuguese Religious Sources”. A beautiful Revista de Cultura, published by the Instituto Cultural in Macao, was also introduced to the participants, containing interesting articles on Portuguese-Philippine relations in East Asia, specifically on the relationship between Macao and the Philippines from the 16-18th centuries.
Dr. Teixeira’s paper was on the religious missions from the Philippines that were sent to Portuguese territories in Southeast Asia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially during the period when the Spanish and Portuguese crowns were united under one dynasty. During that period, while conversion of the Filipinos was being carried out by the various missionary orders in the country, some of these missionaries were also undertaking conversion of other Asian peoples elsewhere in Asia. Thus the Philippines was not totally isolated from the rest of the world during the Spanish period, as has been previously presented by existing studies. The paper concluded that knowledge of the christianizing activities of the various Iberian religious orders would give a “deeper knowledge” of the effect/influence of these missions on the life of these peoples of the region.
Filipino historians participated in this research seminar as discussants/reactors to the papers presented by the Portuguese historians. There is no question that this interaction between the historians of the Philippines and Portugal was significant from both sides, considering how little has been written about the relations between the two countries during the early period of Western presence and colonization in East and Southeast Asia. The Filipino historians-reactors included the following: Dr. Francis A. Gealogo (Ateneo de Manila University), Prof. Digna B. Apilado (UP Diliman), Fr. Fidel Villarröel, O.P. (University of Santo Toms), Fr. José Arcilla, S.J. (Ateneo de Manila University), and Fr. Lucio Gutierrez, O.P. (University of Santo Tomas). Ambassador Albert Encomienda (Center for Maritime and Ocean Affairs, Department of Foreign Affairs) delivered some pertinent remarks on Dr. Garcia’s book. Dr. Bernardita R. Churchill (Philippine National Historical Society and NCCA-Committee on Historical Research) gave a review of Dr. Garcia’s book. Dr. Ricardo T. José (UP Diliman), Ma. Eloisa P. de Castro, Erlita Mendoza, and Ma. Alexandra Chua (all from UST), chaired the sessions. CIS Director Cynthia Luz Rivera provided the summary of proceedings.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
We live in trying and unsettling times when a sense of decency and dedication/commitment to service have been thrown out the window by the very people we have charged to work for the good of the nation. Is this because our people and, especially our leaders, have so little appreciation of our historical past and have not treasured the legacies of our history as a nation?
Perhaps, for many people, the study of history serves no purpose because who wants to memorize names, places, and dates? But that is not what history is all about. The study of our history should serve the nation and should be the anchor on which the future should be planned, from which we could work out our national destiny. Our history should be the source and inspiration for the ethical standards and sense of public morality that is so lacking these days. For a country like ours that has been through colonial rule by foreign powers and whose people have given life and limb in defense of the dream to be free to work out their destiny, our history should be of paramount importance in shaping the concept of the nation that we are and should be.
This is what the Philippine National Historical Society hopes to contribute to the nation – to encourage the research and writing of our history – all our histories, to put it more accurately, so that through the valuable lessons of the past, we can pull up this country from its depression – not just physical and economic depression but, more importantly, spiritual and moral as well. The PNHS is committed to the serious study of the history of our country that will make Filipinos identify with the nation and make us a proud nation of people who know they are Filipinos.
In this endeavor, we need the support and assistance of all of our members and loyal participants.
Mabuhay!
