9. Professional uses (in law, past court
decisions can still be used given a
similar situation)
10. Removes prejudices (dami pa rin ‘di
clear sa history natin goiz :<< since
‘di tayo yung nagsulat)

by examining the struggles, success
and failures of our ancestors

towards the realization of a nation?
- Significant both to society and
people for it helps us better
understand ourselves, our strengths,
limitations, and aspirations
- Reminds us of collective experience
of the people’s suffering, joy and
aspiration
