When I entered this field in the mid-1960s, it seemed not only feasible, but prescient to embark on the study of Philippine history. But because of their improved training in the field, because of the bibliographic guides and documentation that they have readily available. A new popular series, Filipino Heritage, has collected articles on various aspects of history and culture from some of the top scholars in the field; its publication.
The Filipiniana Book Guild and the Historical Preservation Society have made many of the more im-. Perhaps the single most promising trend in historical research in the Philippines is the establishment of the Philippine Social Science Council, which publishes the PSSC Social Science Information and administers the Modern Philippine History research grants. There are also some clouds in this generally sunny picture of historical research in the Philippines today.
Any general prognosis for historical research in the Philippines must place it in the total context of Philippine society and economy.

IN UNITED STATES-JAPANESE RELATIONS
To put this end of an era into perspective, one must consider the entirety of the post-1945 period. Confusing the end of the American occupation of Japan with the end of the post-war period is a popular misconception. The context of the developing Cold War brought about changes in the content of US-Japan cooperation.
Americans, considering both the national interests of the United States and the geostrategic interests of the Japanese which victory had left to the United States; stimulated Japan's economic and military redevelopment. The context of the relationship changed, but the content – especially the form – hardly changed in the 1960s. A sign of the problems to come, with the benefits in hindsight, can be seen in the dispute over the 1960 Security Treaty.
As to the content of the amended pact, Japan's views were incorporated to such an extent that I even wondered if the United States would accept the amendments without complaint. The crux of the matter was that more and more Americans believed they were being "got" by the Japanese—that the Japanese now held the longer end of the stick. The causes of this development arose from the nature of the relationship between the United States and Japan.
On most issues, the Japanese are either sitting in the same boat as the Americans, or their "autonomous" boat is firmly anchored to the edge of the United States' boat, gently riding its wake. More importantly, this was seen as a serious error of miscalculation on the part of the Nixon administration. The gap that has been created between the United States and Japan has significantly changed the character of the relationship that prevailed in the years since 1945.
A few years ago I stated that without the solution of the Okinawa problem, Japan's post-war period could not be considered closed. The imperative is to confront the peoples, but none is adequately confronting the challenges of the 1970s and beyond.

Since its inception in 1957, no progress has been made in the total integration of the Mangyans into the national community. There are no exact historical dates for the time of introduction of rice in the Kalinga area. Planting takes place in the month of June, the beginning of the rainy season in the Tanudan valley.
This period is sometimes called the oyac season by Kalinga. When building rice fields, the first rice field built is at the top of the gradient. This may be more true of the earlier economic history of the people in the area.
