Renato Constantino’s Origin of a Myth (1968) is a 32‑page pamphlet that critically examines how myths surrounding Philippine independence and the American occupation were constructed, particularly the narrative of June 12, 1898 as “independence day.” Constantino challenges the official story, arguing that U.S. colonial interests distorted Filipino resistance and collaboration into a myth of benevolent assimilation.
