Philippine History

I was absent last June 28, 2010 due to high fever that is why the content of this blog is just what I understand with the article.

Philippine History was introduced to me way back in grade school and until high school, I did not get away from it. Through reading the articles, I was able to refresh my memory about Philippine history. And one thing that really got my attention was that “Philippines is the 3rd largest English-speaking country in the world”, I know this already but I kept on being amazed whenever I come across with this statement because it shows that Filipinos are really hospitable and that we can really adopt when we go to other countries though sometimes there are negative speculations about Filipinos being good in speaking in English for others see it that it diminishes nationalism in every Filipino’s hearts. From the other article, the thing that stayed in my mind is the statement that the “Philippines seemed to be better prepared than other Southeast Asian countries to break from the ranks of poor, developing countries.” It is so sad to say that until now, Philippines is still stagnant, maybe it is developing but there are still a lot of Filipinos who are experiencing poverty. However, I believe that Philippines has still its potential for development, and we are going to progress in the next few years.
