If only the Filipinos will look back at his history,then we will discover that many of our problems are related to our history.When Aguinaldo cooperated with the Americans,the Americans bribed him and he consent.Bonifacio was killed because of Aguinaldo,to steal the victory of the Filipino peasants and gave it to the ilustrados or the rich.In ww2 the filipinos fought bravely against the japanese,we actually won our battles in the Philippines,but the Americans bomb Manila,and made it an open city because it was devastated.Why?because they will rebuilt it and to rebuild it the Filipinos must consent to the conditionalities of the Americans.The Americans choose the leaders,and these leaders are the rich puppet of American imperialism.Again the peasants are left behind.Even in the Fil-American war,heroes are tagged bandits and Filipino leaders doesn't mind,as long as they are in power.In our history the peasants are the planters,and the rich are the harvesters.What a shame.Will you share your thoughts with me nationalist people?

hi there.. from what i see nowadays in our country we are still experiencing the same thing from the past. the hard working people doing all the dirty work while the big boss almost always takes the credit. everywhere you go in the Philippines there is always some form of corruption. its sad that this is the way our system is. i still believe there is hope for us Filipinos and our beloved motherland. we showed the world we can stand as 1 during edsa 1 & 2 i just hope that its more constant, more solid.
