Abstract

The study of Philippine history has grown and evolved; it is no longer limited to a rigid, canonical approach shaped by traditional positivist perspectives. While some researchers and historians are moving beyond these conventional frameworks, this does not mean abandoning foundational viewpoints. Rather, it represents a historiographical development: factual knowledge remains important, but it is now enriched by a variety of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, each influenced by the scholar’s own field and insights. Historian Ian Christopher Alfonso’s Dogs in Philippine History (DPH), published by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), exemplifies this progress. The book spans roughly 700 pages and 28 chapters. In my count, it includes 503 images, 3 maps, 5 tables, 920 endnotes, and 496 references. Beyond being a historical account, the book is also thematically organized, offering a structure that can guide future research, particularly studies interested in nature and the environment.
