Overview:
The months of September and October are Marian months in the tradition of the Catholic Church celebration. As a way to acknowledge the important role of Mary, The Virgin and Mother, the discussion is intended to relate how the story of a simple woman (in the Bible) can be translated into the discussion and the writing of history in its best intention – commemoration, application of theoretical concepts in history leading to historical interpretations and that would result to a better understanding of interdisciplinary ethics, knowledge, and valuation. The topic attempts to define a faith- character in the context of history writing, specifically Philippine historiography.
