BAKIT DAPAT KONG IPAGMALAKI NA AKO AY
ISANG ASYANO?
• Marami sa atin na Asyano ang pumupunta sa ibang bansa
para mag-enjoy, Makita ang kaninalang pamilya,
magtrabaho at marami pang iba, subalit sa pagpunta nila
doon sila ay binabalewala, sinusumbatan, ang kanilang
kakayahan ay hindi ay hindi ipinag mamalaki at hindi
ikinagagalit sila ng marami kaya hindi nila ipinagmamalaki
ito at madalas na itinatago nila ang tunay na lahi nila.
• Kahit na ano man ang kulay mo, kung sino ka man, dapat mong
ipagmalaki na ikaw ay isang ‘asyano’, ito marahil ang kasabihang
naririnig ko sa ating mga kababayang asyano na nagtatrabaho sa
ibang lugar tulad sa Europa at Amerika. Lagi nalang mababa ang
trato at pagtingin sa atin ng ibang lahi.
BILANG ISANG ASYANO, PAANO MO
MAIPAHAHAYAG SA MUNDO NA
IPINAGMAMALAKI MO ANG
PAGIGING ASYANO?
• Alam nating lahat na ang Asya ay ang pinakamalaking kontinente sa buong mundo.
Kasama nito ay ang Malaki nitong populasyon. Kapag narinig natin ang salitang “Asya,”
marami ang pumapasok sa ating isipan. Sagana ito sa mga likas na yaman, pampalasa,
pamapasyalan at iba pa. hindi lang iyan, nakilala rin tayo sa ibang panig ng mundo. Sa
larangan ng sining, panitikan, musika, at palakasan, sikat din ang mga Asyano. Isa na rito
si Lea Salongga na gumanap na “kim” sa Miss Saigon, si Sitti Nurhaliza na may
ginintuang tinig at puso ng Malaysia, si Yao Ming na nakilala sa larangan ng basketball,
at si Jackie Chan na nakilala sa larangan ng “martial arts”. Sa madaling salita, ang mga
Asyano ay may natatanging kakayahan at may mga talento

• Kung iyong mapapansin, maraming magagandang pasyalan ang makikita sa Asya.
Maraming dayuhan ang mga dumarayo rito upang mamasyal at makita ang ganda ng
Asya. Marami rin ang mga iba’t ibang kultura at tradisyon na nananatili pa rin hanggang
ngayon na makikilala lang sa Asya. Isa na rito ang Animismo ng Japan, Budhismo ng
China, at kulturang Islam sa Ifugao ng Pilipinas. At higit sa lahat, dapat nating
ipagmalaki na masisispat at palaban ang mga Asyano, hindi nila hahayaan na may mang-
api sa kanila. Pinagsisiskapan nila na umangat ang kanilang pamilya.
• Amerikano, Europyo, Aprikano, Australyano. Sa dinami-dami ng mga lahi sa mundo,
masaya ako na ako ay isang Asyano. Sa kabila ng mga diskriminasyon sa mga Asyano,
tayo ay masaya at namumuhay na parang walang mga problema, ipinapakita na parang
ayos lang ang lahat at para bang walang pinagdadaanang pagsubok sa buhay.
• Halimbawa nalang ng mga OFW, sila ay marangal na nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa, hindi
pansin kahit na sila ay malayo sa kanila-kanilang mahal sa buhay. Napakasakit isipin, na
dahil sa kabila ng paghihiwalay nila sa kanilang pamilya’t kaibigan, sila ay nakatatanggap
ng diskriminasyon. Sila ay madalas na napag-iinitan ng ulo ng kanilang mga boss o amo.
Pinaplantsa ang mukha, binubugbog, at kung ano-anong bagay ang ipinagbabato sa
kanila, masakit man isipin, nguniy kailangan tanggapin
• Bilang isang mag-aaral, wala akong sapat na kapangyarihan para ihinto ang mga bagay
na iyon na talagang laganap na sa buong mundo. Ngunit alam ko na kahit sa napakaliit at
napakasimpleng bagay ay makatutulong ako. Tulad na lamang ng pagsusulat ng sanaysay.
Hindi hadlang ang sasabihin sa akin positibo man o negatibo. Hindi tayo nabibilang sa
mababang antas ng lipunan. Sadyang ang ibang makikitid ang utak ay masyadong
matataas ang tingin sa mga sarili nila.
BIGYAN DIIN ANG MGA KONTRIBUSYON NG
MGA ASYANO SA KASALUKUYAN
• The diplomat mainly focuses on the Asia-Pacific, the world’s most dynamic and
strategically and economically important region. Moreover, Asia as well as the Middle
East, Africa, and the Americans have featured some culturally, philosophically, and
scientifically sophisticated civilizations that humanity has ever produced. So given this,
the comments of U.S Republican Representative Steve King of Iowa regarding the
civilizations of the world are a cause of great trepidation and sorrow. Referring to non-
white people, King asked: “I’d ask you to go back to history and figure out, where are
these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you are
talking about – where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?”
• He added his view that the greatest contributions to civilization came from “Western
civilization itself…rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the United States of
America and every place where the footprint of Christianity settles the world. That’s all of
Western civilization.” What’s discouraging about King’s statements are that they resemble
an increasingly common viewpoint in the discourse among the right and nationalists in
the Western world and among the rank and file of the Republican party in the United
States. It is a discourse that does not match up with the facts about the historical
development of civilizations.
• Modern Western civilization, after all, is a relatively recent phenomenon that arose through
the fusion of Roman and Christian ideas in Europe during the Medieval Era. Other
civilizations preceded, influenced, and coexisted with the West. At the same time it is
important to clarify that the opposite perspective on Western civilization–that it contributed
nothing of worth to the world except imperialism and exploitation, and was a mechanism to
ensure the privilege of a few white males–embraced by many on the hard-left and among
progressives is utterly wrong. It would be as fallacious for one not to not be proud of the
achievements of his or her own civilization as it would be to be to think that other
civilizations contributed nothing to civilization. Certainly, for most of the past half-
millennium, the West has been overwhelmingly dominant, in what has been termed the
“Great Divergence.”
• The Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment are among the
unique contributions of the West-driven by unique institutional and historical factors-that
enabled the scientific, medical, and political development that have made world a better and
prosperous place than ever before. By the turn of the 20th century, virtually everyone in the
non-West from the Japanese to the Ottomans was attempting to “catch up” with the West in
the military, political, and economic spheres. But we cannot and should not deny the
achievements of other civilizations, both due to their own merits, and because of the
contributions that enabled the modern, global civilization to come into being. And of course,
in the sphere of music and the arts, it would be impossible to argue that non-Western
civilizations were ever anything other than the equal of the West, as “beauty is in the eye of
the beholder.”
• Civilization itself arose in the ancient Middle East. The desert biome of that region forced
tribes to come together and cooperate in order to produce the irrigation systems necessary
to produce enough food for everyone. This led to an increase in the complexity of social
and political systems in order to induce cooperation. Thus, in addition to the
domestication of crops and animals, the first weights and measures, the first
bureaucracies, organized government and religion, writing, and the wheel all arose in the
ancient Middle East. In later times, that region, which became a part of Islamic
civilization, gave the world algebra, distillation, and advanced astronomy and navigation,
which Europeans used to sail all over the world.
• India gave the world its numeric system, including the number zero, plastic surgery, steel
production, and urban planning with sewage systems. And among China’s many contributions
are paper, printing, gunpowder, the compass, and clocks. This is not to mention the various
other crops domesticated, production techniques, and technical achievements of various other
non-Western peoples. Western civilization, and indeed the modern global civilization built
largely by the West, would have been impossible without the contributions to civilization from
the people of the rest of the world. This is not to disparage the achievements of the West; nor
should we ignore the historical failings of other civilizations. But we ought to remember and
celebrate the contributions to civilization from all the peoples of the world.
• Today, as the era of Western domination draws to a close and as other nations have
borrowed much of the best from the West, we should expect to see many more
contributions to civilization from outside the West, and from among non-White or non-
Christian people in the West itself.
