About this person
He is at times referred to as a historian of the leftist tradition in Philippine historiography, largely because, unlike many historians, he and his partner, Letizia, declared their biases openly rather than pretend fealty to what both called illusory objectivity. Constantino was in the foreign service, working as Executive Secretary of the Philippine Mission to the United Nations and as Counsellor of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
