Constantino Foundation
The Constantino Foundation is dedicated to advancing the idea of a usable history, where lessons from the past become active elements of the present. The foundation was established to advance a singular idea: in order to shape the future, the past must play an active role in the present. This is the key to creating and mobilising an informed and involved Filipino citizenry. It was originally named the Foundation for Nationalist Studies by its founders: Renato Constantino (March 10, 1919-September 15, 1999) and Letizia Roxas Constantino (April 9, 1920-June 27, 2016).
