Tama ka kaibigang Phili. Ang iyong sagot lang ang talagang taga isla. Please forgive me if my Pilipino is not very good. I am a Filipino born in America. My Pilipino comes from taking 4 years of Pilipino in high school (San Diego, CA). So it’s limited lang sa tinuro ni Ginoong Kalapus who was my Pilipino teacher for 4 years. Speaking Kapangpangan at home didn’t do much help. Lumaki ako sa bansa ng America noong 70’s. Being brown and growing in Puting America ay napakahirap. I don’t hate white people. Let me rephrase, I don’t hate THIS generation of white people. Having experienced racism as a little kid, it pains me to read that some of you Filipinos say that it was okay for the white people (Spaniards) to claim the Islands as their own. Para sa inyo walang mali sa ginawa nila? I feel like we have noting to claim as our own. Much of quirks and beliefs are of spanish origination – sa inyo tama ba ito? Nakakakita ba kayo ng Malay sa TFC (I don’t what channel that is over there)… Most people praise light skin colored people and make fun of MY Malay Brown Skin and sa ilong na pango ko – Tama ba ito sa inyo? Please be proud of being Pinoy! Even Pinoy is derived from the name these puting tao gave our islands. You have to recognize what Lapu Lapu did? If you don’t, you can not call yourself Pinoy. History with a little twist is still not too far away from the truth. Dapat keka panamulis takla keng buldit!!!

salamat.

Por favor, para ahorrar tu tiempo, no me contestes más. Pero si es verdad que tienes hacer cosas para promover, difundir, y enaltecer mi lengua aquí en Filipinas, hazlo sólo, y déjame en paz. Y buena suerte.

Esto es mi última respuesta.

Adiós para siempre, Señor Bade.

Tanta tonteria. Si no tienes confianza en mi, vamos a acabar esto. No tengo tiempo para alguien que no cree en mi.

Manny Bade

P.S. Cuando tento responder a ti, por alguna razon mi email no me permite hacerlo directamente.

Realmente, ¿Manny Bade eres o alguién más?

Y me sorprendes que estás monitorizando este blog. Que raro…

No me respuestes más. No tengo confianza en tí.

No te conozco, y por eso no tengo nada personal contra te. Me gusta tu blog por razon que es el unico sobre nuestro pais y el pueblo filipino que aun no habla espanol sino ingles. Si no te gusta la amistad que ofresco, no importa.

He visto su Blog, y me gusta mucho. En todo el mundo, no hay muchos blogs en espanol sobre las Filipinas.
Gracias tambien por visitar mi website. Ya hace casi 20 anos que habia dado mis talentos en servicio de la
comunidad filipina aqui en Toronto. Pero despues de ese tiempo la comunidad ha olvidado todas las
conribuciones de tiempo, talentos, y emociones y aun a veces con mal enformaciones de algunas gentes me
mira en mal humor, suspenchando que mis intenciones son malas. Por eso se construye el website para que
no me olvide la comunidad de mi.

Gracias,

Manny Bade

Mr. Manny Bade, I sent you an e-mail. But it won’t contain any praise for you that has been ostentatiously displayed in your website.

And to bangsamoro, you are not a Filipino — eres un piojo. =)

pero clap! clap! you are all good in history.. hats off.. bagsak kasi ako sa subject na yan ehehe.. pero dont tell me na galing lang lahat ng info sa google hehe.. coz i would really be pissed of.. i mean sa sarili ko na napaniwala ninyo ako..

Sure, at that time there was no Philippines as we know it now, but let’s face it Mactan later became part of the Philippines. What happened in Mactan hundreds of years ago should be part of the history of the country it later became part of. When the Romans teach their children that Rome started in the Lupercal, are we going to argue that that is false because at that time the area was still a forest, and Romulus was not the first king of Rome because there was no Rome at that time?

In 1898 when Aguinaldo declared the Philippines as a country, he was lying. He only “won” the eight provinces of the Tagalog region, so how can that be the beginning of the Philippines? In fact ascribing him the win against the Spaniards is quite an exaggeration. He never won against anybody, or any of the revolutionary generals of the Philippine revolution. On the other hand, it was only Lapulapu who had defeated the Spaniards and expelled them out of our shores. He was the only successful warrior the Philippines ever had, ancient or current. For that he deserves to be standing on the Luneta.

And no ignoramus can deny that fact.

Sin duda, she could have written more patriotic verses based on these following words…

“To accuse the Spanish, over and over again, of having brought us all sorts of things, mostly evil, among which we can usually remember nothing very valuable, ‘except, perhaps,’ religion and national unity, is equivalent to saying of a not very model mother, that she has given her child nothing except life, for in the profoundest possible sense, Spain did give birth to us — as a nation, as an historical people. This geographical unit of numberless islands called the Philippines –this mystical unit of numberless tongues, bloods and cultures called a Filipino– was begotten of Spain, is a Spanish creation. The content of our national destiny is ours to create, but the basic form, the temper, the physiognomy, Spain has created for us.
Towards our Spanish past, especially, it is time we became more friendly, bitterness but inhibits us; those years cry for a fresher appraisal.
(NICK JOAQUÍN, La Naval de Manila, October 1943)
