About Renato Constantino
Renato Reyes Constantino Sr. was a Filipino historian best known for The Philippines: A Past Revisited and The Continuing Past, both of which he co-authored with the writer and historian Letizia Roxas Constantino, his lifelong collaborator and wife. He is at times referred to as a historian of the leftist tradition in Philippine historiography, largely because, unlike many historians, he and his partner, Letizia, declared their biases openly rather than pretend fealty to what both called illusory objectivity. Constantino was in the foreign service, working as Executive Secretary of the Philippine Mission to the United Nations and as Counsellor of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
