You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't know

HISTORY
Merriam-Webster DictionarY
A chronological record of significant
events (such as those affecting a nation or
institution) often including an explanation
of their causes
Before the coming of the Spaniards, as
we have hinted, the Philippines were
backward in civilization as compared
with most of the rest of the Far East...
The Filipinos were still but partly
removed from the primitive stages of
culture... They had no elaborate
political organization and no unified
government.

East (Third Edition)) Nueba York: The Macmillan
