Importance of oral history in studying Philippine history:
- Oral history is described as historical study that preserves the recollections of those who witnessed or have been an honest witness of past events in order to draw firsthand knowledge of the circumstances and occurrences of that particular event that may be a notable one. Oral history and oral tradition are not the same thing altogether. Oral history involves the recording of a person's verbal memories, as opposed to gathering tales that have been passed down from one generation to the next. It gives voice to the inarticulate records because historical records frequently only include the experiences of the rich and famous, leaving out the majority of people.
- Edilberto N. Alegre and Doreen G. Fernandez's The Writer and His Milieu: An Oral History of First Generation English Writers and Michael Onorato's Forgotten Heroes: Japan's Imprisonment of American Civilians in the Philippines, 1942–1945 are two instances.
