Upon arriving in the islands that would become Filipinas, what did the Spaniards do next?

In this episode, we talk about the Franciscan friar Juan de Plasencia’s Relacion de las Costumbres de los Tagalos, more popularly known as Customs of the Tagalogs to explain how they saw the indigenous political and social organizatio...

Who "discovered" the Philippines?

This year, we remember the 500th anniversary of the "discovery" of the Philippines... see any problems with that statement? In this episode, we analyze and read excerpts from Antonio Pigafetta's First Voyage Around the World by Magellan and simultaneously critique how we tend to view the "first" contact between Europe and what would become the Philippines half a millennia ago.

What is history, and what is not?

In the context of a field that is not professionally regulated, how could we ensure that historians are the real deal? We tackle these issues, and more, in this episode of PODKAS.
