Abstract: Textbooks play an important role in the daily constructs and school teaching activities. They also expose students to the kind of nationality the state desires to form, which, in the long run, contributes to the birth of a collective national identity. This descriptive study examined the representations of the facets of Filipino identity in the elementary K-12 Social Studies textbooks in the Philippines. Anchored on Benedict Anderson's framework on imagined community, both quantitative and qualitative approaches in content analysis were utilized in four textbooks. The analyzed data disclosed ten facets of Filipino identity in four Social Studies textbooks, varying at each grade level. The ten facets of Filipino identity found in four elementary Social Studies textbooks correspond to the themes of the spiral progression curriculum. Thus, the facets of Filipino identity are generally evident in the content of Social Studies textbooks. Therefore, "imagined Filipino communities" are constructed based on the facets of Filipino identity reflected in the content of the Social Studies textbooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
