It is the lack of history that made its colonial master manufacture Philippine history for its minions. Lacking a strong and real civilization, like its neighbors that it can truly claim as its own, the Filipinos are subjected to cultures after cultures and like cannibals devoured each with relish resulting in monstrosities that we see today.
Take the Philippine Independence. It's like a Vatican Dogma. If the Pope says so then it is the truth. So while our neighbors are celebrated rising new nations, we dare and claim to celebrate the centennial of our independence. But were we truly free all those years? Were we not under colonial rule? But some guy out there turned a blind eye, had the brilliant idea and our independence was reset to 1896.
Maybe they never looked up the meaning of independence.
