520 _aFrom Editor's Preface "The Book Of Liberation" "In my case, my research on the Philippine Revolution has brought me to that great mass of documents once know as the "PIR" or Philippine Insurgent Records...Teodoro Agoncillo used to remind me that we fought a Fil-American War, not a mere insurrection as the Americans claimed. For decades, our struggle has been downgraded as an insurrection when it was a real war. Hence the PIR, now in our National Library, have been aptly renamed the Philippine Revolutionary Records. Another way of stressing our viewpoint in history is to refer to the Americans during the Fil-American War simply and correctly as "the enemy". This places everything in proper contest. Before this, we were "confusing the enemy", as Ambeth Ocampo puts it: in our own history books, Filipino historians referred to us as the enemy! So, thank you gentlemen. But we didn't stop there, and so we decided to give it a name. So, what would we call that genre of rewriting history we had inadvertently redefined? Today, July 30, 1997, we (Orli & Frank) have that name: Liberation History."
