to other Filipino heroes to fight our freedom. As a future teacher it was infinitely applicable because it cling the
heart of Filipinos to become a good Filipino citizen. I will always impart on their mind of my student the great
contribution of our hero who gave us wings to become freefree to fly any when and anywhere. Their only
wish is we must love and respect our country. We must try to defend it like in the court, if its our right we must
defend it just always have faith in GOD.
Our present Educational system tends,in the main,to hold the students to customary,the existent,and the
common place.It makes them merely participants with the present generation.In fact,it is often so full of
dogmas,authority,and a thousand lesser cramping influences which retard progress,that is actually encourages
reaction ism.Instead it should,if it is really to lead out,launch them from the shoulders of the present
generation,passing on to them that which society has inherited or considers most contributory to its loftiest
ideals,not as an end in itself or as a highest good,but appoint of departure in a new progress of discovery and
invention Filipinos called as an uprooted race because they had to be disoriented for their national goals because
they had to become good colonials.We Filipino some Western values that we have until now.We love to hear
foreigners call our country a paradise on earth,and we never stop to think that it is a paradise only for them but
not for the millions of our countrymen.We Filipinos must realize that we can stand alone even they dont
support us because I believe that theres no impossible if we are helping each other develop our economic life
For me the strongest point of he essay is the language problem of the Filipinos.In discussing the cultural
backgrounds of Filipinos and Americans,we pointed out that although Filipinos are predominantly of one racial
stock,we speak many languages;whereas,Americans are of many ethnic backgrounds,but are predominantly
English speaking.This confusion of tongues has been a major problem in Philippine Education for many
years.The student has been required to spend precious time in learning language before we can begin to tackle
the content of basic subject matters.Because of the colonial education,we've been disoriented.Language is
important because through language,taught develops,and the development of thought leads to further devt of
language.
This essay still applicable in our time because this essay encourage Filipino people to learn so that we are able
to know and understand the importance of high educational standards.The education of the Filipino must be a
Filipino education.We need to know the goals and need of our nation.This essay always reminds us to use and
love our native language.While child,mother must teach first the native language before he/she starts to use
foreign language.
