The "Ibalik ang Philippine History sa High School Movement" advocates for the reinstatement of Philippine History as a dedicated subject in the country's high school curriculum. This movement arose after the K-12 curriculum, implemented from 2012 and solidified by the K-12 Law in 2013 under President Benigno Aquino III, led to the subject's removal from the high school syllabus by Department of Education Order 20, s. 2014. This controversial change, enacted without a stated pedagogical rationale, shifted the curriculum towards a global perspective, despite Philippine History being a staple since the American colonial period.

Opponents, including the Teacher’s Dignity Coalition (TDC) and Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT-Teachers), along with educator Antonio Calipjo-Go, have vocally protested since 2015. They warn of "historical amnesia," a weakening of national identity and patriotism, and the use of potentially inaccurate textbooks. These groups urge a comprehensive review of the K-12 program and a return to robust local history education to foster core Filipino values.
