Exploring national identity responds to the contention that the Filipino is simply a hotpot of cultures. Meanwhile, exploring the textbooks is a must to update the lack of study in this area. This study asks, “How is the Filipino portrayed in three textbooks through the building blocks of national identity?” To answer this, an appraisal of the definitions of national identity and their corresponding methodologies was undertaken. The study then did a content analysis with a grounded theory, that distinguishes this study from previous ones. The textbooks were also selected based on a criteria of acceptance of the government and their recency. The grounded theory exhibits the use of Kohn’s (1944) and Smith’s (1991) ideas of building blocks, or aspects of culture, that shape national identity. The study finds out that three textbooks utilise a sapin-sapin strategy in sketching a Filipino national identity that does not have any overarching narrative to bind the supposedly-organic building blocks. The study also compared the contents of the textbooks with what other writers would say regarding the Philippines.
