First published in 1987, A History of the Philippines by Dr. Samuel K. Tan offers a conceptual framework of what he calls "the story of man in the Philippines" in the context of "the specific ecological system and distinct historical experience that have shaped its particular character and identity." Dr. Tan provides a picture of Philippine culture which "ought to be understood from the totality of ethnolinguistic varieties which constitute the fabric of Filipino society."
