In 1939, nineteen of the best and brightest student leaders and intellectuals in the College of Law of the University of the Philippines held together by ideals of brotherhood, excellence, leadership and service established the Alpha Phi Beta Fraternity. One of them was Renato Constantino, who eventually revolutionized how we viewed our nation’s history and became the voice of wisdom in the nationalist movement. As a student, Brod Tato, was the embodiment of the scholar—having served as editor-in-chief of the Philippine Collegian and becoming a champion debater. His scholarship however, did not end in his residency in UP. He later joined the academe as a prolific historian where he became a forefront in writing Philippine history from the perspective of the Filipino masses. His books, The Philippines: A Past Revisited and Philippines: A Continuing Past, as well as his famous essay, The Miseducation of the Filipino, are testaments to his nationalist and anti-colonial view of history. He also became one of the harshest critics against US imperialist encroachment in Philippine government. A few weeks before Martial Law, Brod Tato wrote satirical columns of Marcos that were published in The Marcos Watch. He was later placed under house arrest during Martial Law. His writings and words of wisdom became a guiding light of the nationalist movement that eventually led to the people power movement and continued on well into his twilight years. On September 15, 1999, Brod Tato passed away. He is survived by his wife, Letizia Roxas Constantino who now chairs the Constantino Foundation, his children Renato Constantino, Jr. and Karina Constantino David, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ten years after his death, Brod Tato’s clamor to affirm our identity as a nation and not to bow down to colonial pressures endures to this very day. To honor his call is the least we can do for a man as great as Renato Constantino—historian, nationalist, Alphan. # Summary: Ten years after his death, the Fraternity honors one of its charter members, historian and nationalist Brod Renato Constantino.
