Considered as a radical historian, Prof. Agoncillo had
been a major influence in Philippine historiography,
which reflects the Filipino point of view, from the
beginnings when it was largely unpopular, to the
present when it is now integral with Filipino writing
of history. He authored about 20 books and numerous
articles on history. Among his books are: Ang
Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas; The revolt of the masses: The
story of Bonifacio and the Katipunan; Malolos. The
Crisis of the Republic; Philippine History (adopted as
the official textbook in Philippine History); and the
History of the Filipino People.
For his contributions to literature and Philippine
historical writing, the community of scholars, as well
as private and public institutions, had given him the
title University Profesor, the highest academic
appointment in any university.
