Philippine History lately had started to fascinate me. Maybe it is because when I was still in Elementary then High School, I never listened much to our History teacher. Especially if the teacher is not a good story teller..Most of the time when this subject started, my mind was pre occupied with what I will do with my friends after the class. Some of my classmates had the same attitude: "Who cares about Philippine History? It is done, finished, kaput..!" Was I sadly mistaken. Philippine History is still going on as I type these computer keys..
Now I am trying to catch up with those facts and events which made the Philippines what it is today. You may love the country or you may hate the country..but one thing for sure: YOU WILL NEVER, NEVER FORGET OUR COUNTRY...
This is the idea of a song by THE SANDPIPERS ( a '60s group ) ..One of the narrative lines said: "It is the dream of every man to go back to the country where they were born...."
Before closing this entry, I want to pay tribute to Mr. Gil Santilla from Bantog. He was my high school teacher, a good history teacher. He was also a terrific story teller---#
