Negation description historical reference examples etymology

1To our colonial forefathers, freedom 2(Old English freedom: power of self-
determination) meant achieving independence from foreign powers. The Filipinos fought countless
battles, resulting to bloody revolutions since the 19 th century under the Spanish government; and the
sacrifice and death of Filipinos in the hands of Japanese forces during World War II. 3 Since the
Philippines won the right to rule itself, our country has been referred to as “land of bondage, land of the
free” by the late statesman Raul Manglapus. 4 True freedom means the ability to think, feel, say, or act
however one chooses. 5 It is a state where the bars of bondage do not exist. Unfortunately, there is still
the humankind’s continuing struggle for freedom as the widening gap between the haves and have nots
is evident in terms of equal educational opportunities.
