What fundamentally separates man from any other in the animal world is the intellect Nature has given him whos creative potential and capacity are limitless. It is a gift that allows him to transcend what is ordinarily impossible. It is the only singular tool which helps him overcome the challenges of man and nature and attain "progress," which is the essence of culture and the subject of history.
This article is for the celebration of one of the most historical day in the Philippine History, "the Philippine Independece"- in which without the mark of this history, Filipinos would cease to exist. The freedom and independence in which the various groups (Katipunan, Katagalugan, etc.) were the characteristics that marked importantly the thoughts and actions of people in societies and therefore, were what constituted the primary aims of social unity in our level.
Different heroes marked the beggining of the newly government thru Aguinaldo, colonized once more by the Americans and Japanese. Despite all odds, Filipinos had never failed to established the spirit of nationalism and the importance of sacrifices and independence. As what Dr. Jose Rizal's vision were, he had declared explicitly that "our sacred mission" is the formation of the Filipino nation. And so, he had called on his fellow expatriates to come home to fight for the nation, the Philippines. The great puzzle for us is that when the moment of truth came in 1896, rather than leading the revolution, Rizal allowed himself to be arrested, and, while awaiting his inevitable death sentence, condemened the revolution. Yes! That is correct! Rizal condemned the revolution. He had enough of brutality, killings and unfair treatment to the Filipinos. Thus, his death led to the Philippine Revolution.
All countries had independence. All that marked there own identity. I hope that this historical day would make sense to everyone. That in this day, the people who had sacrificed are the ones to be thanked and to honored. In this respect, every man has a philosophy, whether conscious or unconcious; and every people has an ideology, whether articulated or not.
Our generation is the one who creates our history, let's begin by doing the first step of change. LOVE THY HISTORY, GIVE IMPORTANCE TO OUR CULTURE AND TRADITION, KNOW THY PHILOSOPHY, CREATE A PATH IN LIFE, THIS IS BUT THE FIRST STEP. OUR PEOPLE MUST NOW FLEASH OUT THE STRUCTURE. LET US BEGIN!
