REFLECTION
The Philippine History like any other nations is very rich in culture, heritage, and
historical facts that has yet to be dig into and discovered by every Filipino citizen. Is it
very much important for Philippine history students like me to know our roots, origin,
and cultural practices both good and bad. In the movie in titled Alone/Together and
Filipino cultural advocates has something to do with us students taking the subject
Philippine History. It shows the movie depicts to individuals who are so passionate in
their field of interest in their life. Despite all the challenges they faced like trivial and
cultural taboo and restrictions to step on foot the said places because according to trivial
chieftain in each place said places and those places are sacred to them. If permitted each
individual has to submit cultural practices like rituals before one could enter in the said
places. Another challenges that they facing are parents of those individuals are
discouraging them to be away from their family for a long time because the place is quite
far from their homes aside from being far to them it is risky for their health and life
because the said places are quite remote and has no electricity, means of transportation.
The only way to reach the area is through barefoot walking. The parents could hardly
communicate them because the said area has no communication signal both internet and
is quite expensive such as travel cost honorarium of escort and guides, foods, medicines,
We Filipinos are hardworking, creative, resourceful, resilient and etc. We can see our
in this movie, I can see what my father did to us and to his life. My father is independent
in his young age. Despite of being born poor, he always finds ways like what every
Filipino did. When he studying back then his parents can’t provide for his studies so my
dad works with different companies to sustain his financial studies without help from his
parents. Now my dad always finds ways for us to survive in this world especially now
that his right eye can't see because of his past accident while he travels to go to his work
the vehicle he ride in had an accident that cause his right eye blinded and he early retired
in his work after that. That’s what they did in the movie despite they don’t have support
from LGU/NGO they always find ways to pursue their dreams and passion that they
cultural advocates must remember that they produce information that the whole world
and future generations can enjoy; thus, their dreams are never worth giving up, no
matter how harsh the “real world” maybe.” That word “their dreams are never worth
giving up” It moved me and touches my heart and soul, It boosts my passion about what I
loved, that my dreams worth fighting for, that’s why I choose Bachelor of Science in
Entrepreneurship because someday I want to build my empire and to help other people by
applying my company soon. To fulfill this dream I need to work hard and always aim for
the goal and don’t get affected by gossip throwing at me. We Filipinos have an
back then that no one knows today, I salute those archeologists, historians, and other
branches who want to know about the past. We should love our culture and tradition
because they allow us to come together to mark life's milestones and celebrate our
heritage and the people we love. For many, they provide a sense of home, history, and
the goal and don’t get affected by gossip throwing at me. We Filipinos have an interesting story in history. I have to know also of what is our true identity and culture back then that no one knows today, I salute those as, historians, and other branches who want to know about the past. We should love our culture and tradition because they allow us to come together to mark life's milestones and celebrate our heritage and the people we love. For many, they provide a sense of home, history, and identity. Culture and tradition belong to everyone.
Now, it is imperative for every student and Filipino as well to know our roots culture, and
heritage so that we would fully understand better out the situation and be more
appreciative of our own and erase the culture of believing that foreign products, foreign
produce, foreign education, foreign places are far better than our own.
