In 1542 to 1877, the word “Filipino” referred to a Spaniard living in the Philippines —the rest of the natives were called, “Indios.”
In 1878, José Rizal, for the first time, used the word Filipino to refer to the native population in the country.
In 1998, a Greek dictionary defined the word “Filipina”, as a domestic helper.
Today, “Filipinos” is the brand name for a series of biscuit snacks made by Kraft Foods in Europe. In Boracay, a white man was heard calling a waitress, “Hey monkey, come here!” and the poor Filipina dutifully approached. Sad but true, the perception of a Filipino today is a striking contrast during the time of Rizal when Filipinos in Europe were referred to as “the glory of the universities”.
The Philippines today
The Philippines is currently the world’s leading exporter of nurses, with 164,000 or 85% of the country’s trained nurses are working abroad, with doctors becoming nurses
• About 200 hospitals have recently closed down across the
country because of a lack of doctors and nurses with another 800 hospitals considered to be “partially closed” due to the lack of qualified health personnel • Last 2006, the National Career Assessment Examination showed that out of the 1.3 million examinees, only 3.7% students, are fit to enter college. • The Philippines is No. 41 in Science and No. 42 in Mathematics among 45 countries. Dr. Jose Rizal ? A many-faceted and multi-talented genius, he used his God given talents for freedom and for the welfare of his people through peaceful reforms was an obsession that has guided him all his life. A dedicated nationalist, physician, poet, novelist, historian, painter, sculptor, linguist, educator, anthropologist, ethnologist, sportsman, traveler and a prophet, his talents appear inexhaustible. His famous novels, “Noli Me Tangere” and “El Filibusterismo” exposed the abuses of the Spanish authorities and inspired the 1896 Revolution. His martyrdom fanned the patriotic spirit of Filipinos and solidified their craving for nationhood. Considered the pride of the Malay race and the greatest of the Filipino heroes ever born, he ranks equal to most of the great men of all races and of all times.
