He did this mainly through propaganda and the commissioning of a definitive Philippine history book to be published under his name (very on-brand). He hired the best and the brightest historians, and the result: the Tadhana project. Only three tomes came out of the envisioned book set. But it still begs to be asked: what happens when people in power with vested interests and specific agenda "writes" history? Let's find out.
