the first two, the setting of human life , the last one, the setting of the Philippine history, which is what Tadhana is all about. --From the book cover Tadhana is the first work on the Philippine history that conceives prehistory as a necessary part of history. "Archipelagic Genesis" fulfills this concept in an outstanding manner. It takes hold of a part of our past during which no human being lived and turns it into an exciting and dramatic story. This is fortunate , after prehistory had been written about exclusively by scientists and technicians who left the subject dry as dust. But the dust of creation, the rocks and fossils , and the exceedingly slow process of evolution all constitute drama. In the hands of a writer of skill and style, as Marcos has demonstrated himself to be in previously published books of Tadhana, prehistory now comes to life, full of surprises. Until he has read this book, the average layman may not have realized that color, scent and sound characterize the story of the evolution of the universe, the earth and the Philippine archipelago
