    The Philippines has a long and complex history. The islands were inhabited for thousands of years before Spanish colonization began in the 16th century. Spain ruled the Philippines for over 300 years and had a significant influence on culture and society. In the late 19th century, Philippine independence movements grew and the Spanish–American War in 1898 resulted in Spain ceding the islands to the United States in the Treaty of Paris. The U.S. ruled as a colonial power until after World War II, when the Philippines was granted independence in 1946.

    THE HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES

    My Insight:

    I really question this particular subject ever since. It is known for its severe and critical
    need for memorization. You need to memorize a lot. This is not an easy subject at all, but some
    people consider this as an easy subject. All they had to do is to memorize and then they can pass
    easily with flying colors. Just memorize and you are good to go. But is it even worth it? Did they
    actually learn something? I am guessing not. It’s like losing the point of learning. You are
    supposed to actually learn not to memorize, and forget it later when the examination is over. The
    thing is, I hate memorization. Not only my brain can’t cooperate with me during memorization, I
    also think that you can do a lot more productive things rather than memorizing something. I sort
    of wish they did a more interactive way of teaching. We are bored to death and because of that
    we only learned a few lessons. If they did that, we are probably going to be more educated when
    it comes to history, especially Philippine history. But they didn’t and because of that, I had a bad
    impression for history/social studies.
    I conclude that Philippine history is difficult. It is so difficult. But nothing is difficult if
    you work hard enough. Like it or not, you have to deal with it. It’s about our country anyway. It
    is fun knowing things that you don’t know and it is so satisfying. Like the saying goes “Those
    who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” So you better learn from it and not run
    from it. Our country’s past may be bad but we have to accept it. It is our freaking country so we,
    as its citizen, better know all about it.
