In the context of philippinische Historiographiegeschichte as Ideengeschichte, the Filipino Pantayong Pananaw would be defined; then, illustrated as the times´ philosophy, methodology, and perspective of history, which begun the country´s new history and historiography, Bagong Kasaysayan. PP and BK embody therewith the Filipino historians´ emic indigenization movement --- pag-aangking mula sa loob, which proceeded towards the start of an actual Filipino historiography, Pagsasakasaysayang Pilipino.The ancient Filipino concept for history is kasaysayan, meaning significant story(ies); chosen, important narratives --- orally transferred through folklore, genealogies, songs and rituals --- of the communities. Political colonization and intellectual compartmentalization starting 1565 discontinued this. Concept kasaysayan was repressed; placed in its stead was historía, narratives of colonizing foreigners, who had contacts with the native inhabitants --- the eventually recognized Philippine history and historiography. Historía was continually perpetuated by Filipino (foreign) educated historians; which, in turn, led to the average Filipino´s foreign conception of his own history. However, this trend was broken starting the 1970´s. Pantayong Pananaw was introduced. For the historian, this is a metaphorical return to himself and to his people. For the discipline, this is the operational Filipino written historical discourse´s start. The historian must methodologically create a significant Filipino history, Bagong Kasaysayan. This meant, creation of history, about, by, for the Filipino, in Filipino; the commencement of Pagsasakasaysayang Pilipino; the realization of disciplinal indigenization --- a political stand; part of the people´s exertions in independently determining their pride and person, in regaining mastery of their probable future, especially in the midst of today´s mythos globalizing community.

Hundreds of German traders and residents were living in the Philippines when the 1896 Revolution against the Spanish broke out. Representing different religious, regional and economic backgrounds, they routinely met and mingled in such social organisations as reading clubs or, later, the Casino Union. Save for the Spanish, Germans formed the most numerous European community. As latecomers vis-àvis other Europeans, they painstakingly maintained working relations with the Spanish colonial administrators and local Filipino elites to bolster their businesses. The outbreak of the revolution, however, threatened the deepening economic inroads this community had striven so hard to make; and as the fighting grew they feared that their lives were also threatened. As a consequence, they turned to their government in Berlin for protection. A warship was duly deployed to the islands in case evacuation was deemed necessary. Significantly, this request provided the German navy a prime opportunity to assess developments in the Spanish colony, which, in turn, might facilitate direct state intervention in the rebellion.
