Philippine History: Towards a Resilient Country

 

The Philippines has a great history merging Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to Spanish and American colonization this have been significant on the Philippine culture. The Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese and After 350 years, the Filipinos succeeded in conquering their independence.

The Philippines became colony of the United States. Following the Philippine-American War, the United States brought widespread education to the islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particularly at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor. They then waged a war against Japanese regaining the independence of the Philippines.

The history has great impact affecting our country. In my own opinion, maybe the Philippines could have the same provision to other countries growing their economy if we are not colonized and if there is a proper use of superiority. We can achieve a better state if we will suppress crime, stop corruption, abide by the law and affix our justice system. Many governments have passed but they cannot properly use the superiority to fix problems.

Philippines is a great country with good citizens. The Philippines may have thorned history but we will unite and contribute to it, we can overcome difficulties and we can lead the Philippines towards a resilient country.
