Abstract

Abstract:How do Filipinos remember their history? To date this question still has no systematic answer. This article provides quantitative, descriptive results from two nationally representative surveys that show how Filipinos view three of the country's major historical events: the Spanish colonization of the Philippines; martial law under President Ferdinand Marcos; and the 1986 People Power Revolution. The descriptive results include several takeaways, including: first, the modal response towards all three events was indifference (versus positive or negative feelings); second, positive feelings towards martial law were highest among those who were alive at that time; third, the distribution of feelings towards these historical events was similar across individuals with different educational achievement; and finally, a surprising proportion of respondents expressed positive feelings towards both martial law and People Power. We discuss the potential limitations of our study and conclude by considering the implications of these results for the Philippines' contemporary politics.

菲律宾人如何记住他们的历史?菲律宾人历史记忆的描述

摘要:菲律宾人是如何记住他们的历史的?到目前为止，这个问题仍然没有系统的答案。本文提供了两项具有全国代表性的调查的定量描述性结果，显示了菲律宾人如何看待该国的三个主要历史事件:西班牙殖民菲律宾;费迪南德·马科斯总统治下的戒严令;以及1986年的人民力量革命。描述性结果包括几个要点，包括:首先，对所有三个事件的模态反应都是冷漠(相对于积极或消极的感受);第二，当时活着的人对戒严令的积极情绪最高;第三，不同教育成就的个体对这些历史事件的感受分布相似;最后，令人惊讶的是，受访者对戒严令和人民力量都持积极态度。我们讨论了本研究的潜在局限性，并通过考虑这些结果对菲律宾当代政治的影响来结束研究。
