An outstanding collection of 12 historical essays published in 1971, 12 Events That Have Influenced Philippine History provides an easy and pleasurable rereading of Philippine history from the perspectives of 12 men and women of letters, all eminent literary personalities of that time. Watershed events of Philippine history, the collection starts with the "Magellan Expedition" ends with the "Hukbalahap Movement." It clamors for the addition of an essay or two - the Marcos regime and the People Power revolution - to bridge the then-and-now.

Two of the essays - Legazpi Expedition by Nita Umali Berthelsen and The Cavite Mutiny by Nati Alde Nuguid have been uploaded. StuartXchange hopes to resurrect the rest of the essays and upload them to the site.
