    Reynaldo Clemeña Ileto authored the book "Pasyon and Revolution" in 1979 which looked at the important role that ordinary peasants played in history rather than just focusing on great political leaders. Ileto presented history in a new way using folk literature and argued this approach provided insight into how popular consciousness was transformed. His reconceptualization of how to study the past challenged the views of historians at the time and helped establish the importance of understanding the perspectives of regular people in historical events.
