'Kamalaysayan': New 'Cause' on Facebook

KAMALAYSAYAN Solidarity for Sense of History–Philippines, was organized late in 1991 as a campaign network to promote an inspiring and keen sense of history that dwells not on memorization of dates and names but on a profound understanding of the storyline of the collective novel-life of a community or a dynamic voluntary cluster of communies, like a nation is supposed to be.

For KAMALAYSAYAN,history is not limited to the PAST, rather it is the PATH from the past, through the present to the future. Our sense of history avoids being preoccupied with details of events that are not really significant to or reflective of the lives of the people and the lessons they have learned.

Our sense of history seeks to be useful in consensus-building and decision-making on socially-consequential issues.

We are concerned mainly with the storyline of the collective evolution of the people's lives in various facets. And we hold that senior citizens are the natural historians, and the youth are the main beneficiaries of history in many respects.

We will have many announcements to upload in the coming days with the upcoming 2nd Annual Pistahang Kamalaysayan (Sakay and Hernandez Day, September 13 – Balangiga Victory Day, September 28, 2009, inclusive). You may also join the kamalaysayan email group by sending a blank email letter to kamalaysayan-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
