Last Monday (August 10, 2009) someone went to our school to discuss something called “The Historical Truth”. The Historical truths are facts that really happened in our country for the past few years. To be honest I didn’t understand much of the talk because of my headache which is bothering me. At first the talk is all about the difference of a martyr and a revolutionary hero, a martyr was given a chance to live but it is them who have chosen their fate while if you are revolutionary hero you should always be ready to give up your life because it was your choice from the start. Another thing that was discussed is that the U.S. was not really a country who is very willing to help our country but a country which is making our country worst than ever. Why do I say so? Because it was discussed there that the government of U.S. will encourage our country; the Philippines to invest to a big project and will let us borrow a great deal of money, that money before was only a some peso away but because the dollar rate was getting higher and higher and the debts are becoming bigger than ever. The truth is our is not really Japans target when they got here, their main target is the U.S. and country was just included in the war because the U.S. troops are in our country. It seems like U.S. is just like a devil in disguise, we salute them and follow most of their requests or commands but the real deal is that they want to benefit from our country. It is said there that one person told the U.S. government that letting the Philippines become independent will make them more dependent because we all know that our country is not that rich and we need a great amount of money in order to survive poverty so the U.S. took advantage of it and bury us in great debts. Another fact is that the U.S. wants the Mindanao part of our country and still thru some things. Another thing is that the candidate who wants to run for the next elections should not only focus in poverty and the poor but they should have a platform that will make our country better and not worst. There are still lots of issues discussed but I only mention few of them, well before I end my reaction paper I just want to that We Should love our country and fight for our rights our dear mother country a better place for every Filipinos.
