In today's times, Only a few knew how it was like to achieve independence from colonists, how it feels to have the country back to it's natives. Movies, music, propaganda art, and all sorts of literature are being made to fully show people how it as back in the day. People are starting to understand but many still overlooks the film's main objective which is to show people how The Philippines has gained it's independence. Because of the influence of the Americans and other cultures around the world, some Filipinos are not as patriotic as they hope to be. And so, Professors, Literary Writers, Film makers, all hope to educate these people that the soil they live in has been fought for many years, thousands maybe millions have died trying to take the Philippines back.
The 21st century may be the time where most of the Philippine citizens would not know the correct history of the Philippines. Personally, it's quite okay; as a person who lives in the moment and only cares about the future. But then again, how could one be successful in the future if he does not know his own past. Learning about the past is only as great as preparing for the future. There are a lot of sayings that invites people to look into the past so they could learn about what to expect in the future. A professor in history once told the class that history simply repeats itself so we have to learn about the mistakes of the past and make correct decisions for the future.
