nag uugat itong kabulukan as follows:
*when the spanish colonialist came, nadistort ang mindset natin ng mga paguugali ng mga espanyol. dito nagumpisa pati ang pagiging feeling iba at high class mentality ng pinoy when the spanish decided to change into spanish sounding ang pangalan ng mga pinoy.
*being low class at alipin in the eyes of the spaniards we suffered physicall7 & emotionally kaya nagkaroon ng mga filipino uprisings sila rizal, mabini, bonifacio, etc.
*dumating ang mga kano with their own self serving interests at the onset of the 20th century at ginawa tayong puppet government until the wrath of mt pintubo drove their military bases away for good. at the same time we adapted the western culture in so many awkward ways to the point of being "trying hard" kahit tayo ay brown race, pango, small built unconsciously forgetting our inherent ways na minana natin gaya ng pagmamano, respect for law, God-fearing, etc.
*when we gained our independence we have very honest & serious leaders fighting to preserve our identity kahit me mga kanong hudas na bumubulong sa tenga nila. Some of these leaders are oligarchs in their own turfs but some are poor, simple but finely bred and firm in their convictions like magsaysay, garcia, macapagal and has the no nonsense foresight for the good future of the filipinos. we were then next to japan in economic standing dito sa asia. ang thailand, singapore, malaysia, hongkong, south korea were also poor & struggling countries.
*then came the big whammy of martial law by the forgettable creature, macoy. maraming nakulong na potential nationalists & fine leaders, political patronage flourished, military bigwigs calling the shots, sipsipang katakot takot. the big loss came in the form of dollar drain exudos by the fed-up investors and considered the philippines second to none as potential place to put up factories, technology transfers, etc.
*EDSA 1 came into being but no matter how hard the convincing - with short-lived commendable efforts of Pres. Ramos - the foreign investors managed only a paltry sums of contribution to nation rebuilding; bakit? kudeta dito, kudeta don; the remnants of the worst legacies martial law made a scar to the nation has never been eradicated; ang dating mangilang mangmang multiplied so many times; ang mga kukunting corrupt na politikos, bureau chiefs lalong dumami, ang mga military never been boldened by engaging in carnappings, drug dealings, gambling, at kung ano ano pa..; the left leanings and our muslim brothers are still fighting it out in their own limited but very nasty way of driving the tourists away to neighboring countries with their precious $$$.

which brings us to present times; ngayon ang tanong: hanggang saan ang paghihintay na bagong pag-asa ng karamihan sa ating mga dukhang kapatid? masisisi ba ng gobyerno natin kung magkandakuba at lamoglamog ang mga kawawang DH sa kamay ng mga sadistang amo? hindi, tsong!! isa sila sa tinuturing na BAGONG BAYANI..

nakakasiwa isipin..
