History Of The Philippines, 1565–1898
History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop ...

Tagalog People
The Tagalog people are an Austronesian Ethnic groups in the Philippines, ethnic group native to the Philippines, particularly the Metro Manila and Calabarzon regions and Marinduque province of southern Luzon, and comprise the majority in the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora (province), Aurora, and Zambales in Central Luzon and the island of Mindoro. Etymology The most popular etymology for the endonym "Tagalog" is the term ''tagá-ilog'', which means "people from [along] the river" (the prefix ''tagá-'' meaning "coming from" or "native of"). However, the Filipino historian Trinidad Pardo de Tavera in ''Etimología de los Nombres de Razas de Filipinas'' (1901) concludes that this origin is linguistically unlikely, because the ''i-'' in ''ilog'' should have been retained if it were the case. De Tavera and other authors instead propose an origin from ''tagá-álog'', which means "people from the lowlands", from the archaic meaning of the noun ''álog'', meanin ...
