We Should Defend Our Hispanic Heritage Against ALL???

[Eduardo Gimenez]

 

Bangkaw:  Kudos to our ancestors who willingly adapted many Spanish influences in our food our architecture, our literature, our languages and our joi de vivre unlike any other in our insular minded neighbors. 

 

Response:  To do something under duress of physical and emotional beatings and with a gun to your head is not "willingly".  It may appear so to someone with Stockholm Syndrome.  After repeated physical and psychological beatings by her captors, Patty Hearst picked-up a machine gun and  joined them to do heist after heist.  Though she could have done so, but not once did she train her gun on her brutal captors.  This is the essence of the lunatic pathology that characterizes Stockholm Syndrome... a lunatic pathology you clearly share. 

 

Bangkaw:  We Filipinos believe in each and every individual's capacity to better ourselves in our lives. This is evident in our close knit families which is an aspect in our hispanic heritage.

 

Response:   You describe human universals shared by every human being in every culture.  You describe every Filipino, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian and Vietnamese.  Except these others have gone beyond having mere "capacity to better themselves" to the reality of actually bettering themselves.  In almost every aspect of human endeavor, these other races of people have exceeded the accomplishments of Filipinos by margins so large that it is clear to any impartial observer that we Filipinos are not even in the race. 

 

Go anywhere in the world and look for Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian restaurants displaying their culinary arts.  You will find them everywhere.  Almost none from the Philippines.  The Philippines isn't an insignificantly small nation.  It has 100 million people.  It has 1.45% of the world's total population.  It is twice the size of Korea.  More than twice Thailand and Vietnam.  But Filipinos are almost invisible in the world scene in terms of art and culture and intellectual, literary and artistic influence.

 

-  There are Almost no industrial products from the Philippines. 

-  No great Philippine Olympian

-  No great Philippine Nobel Prize winner

-  No great Filipino general

-  No great Filipino philosopher

-  No world-renowned Filipino poet

-  Almost no great and world renowned Filipino fashion designer

-  No great, internationally renowned Philippine pianist, conductor, composer, operatic singer.

-  Almost no great, internationally renowned Philippine literary figure.

-  Almost no great, internationally renowned Philippine political figure.

-  Almost no great, internationally renowned Philippine scientist.

 

The greatest Filipino ever... Jose Rizal... the likes of whom has never been seen anywhere, until recently was barred from having his works studied in his own country.  He struggled against Spanish colonization and was eventually executed by his Spanish captors.  He did not write in any Philippine language and cannot be read and understood by almost any Filipino.  Rizal never succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome the way you do.  He trained his most powerful weapon, his pen, directly into the hearts of his captors.  Thoggh eventually he was executed by them, his efforts, his thoughts, his words, his ideas and ideals were the proximate and direct cause of the EXECUTION of Spanish colonization in the Philippines.

 

Too bad later generations did not follow his example.

 

These are all symptoms of a sickness that the nation needs to address in a clear-eyed way.  Not in the lunatic way you propose... the Stockholm Syndrome way where given a gun by your captors and abusers, you will not train your gun on them.  Instead you will train it on those who are looking for real solutions for the nation's very real ills.

What makes Filipinos original in Asia is our hispanic heritage. 

 

Kudos to our ancestors who willingly adapted many Spanish influences in our food our architecture, our literature, our languages and our joi de vivre unlike any other in our insular minded neighbors. 

 

Filipinos are generous, hospitable, smart and has a passion for everything which ignorant foreigners and their parroting local quislings mistake for emotionalism.

 

Part of this make up which make us Filipino is our Spanish influences that have enriched us and have made us one of the hard working people in the world because like the conquerors of Spain who were outnumbered all the time. We've  overcome our resource limitations with success. Our diaspora have proven our sterling character all over the world. 

 

We Filipinos believe in each and every individual's capacity to better ourselves in our lives. This is evident in our close knit families which is an aspect in our hispanic heritage. Like all hispanic evolved peoples of the world who is also Asian.

 

Our ancestors have fused the best of both worlds. This is why demonising ourselves and by those who want to deface our hispanic heritage cannot be defined other than an enemy of the Filipino.

 

When these enemies of the Filipino nation used "decolonialism" as a tool to destroy our nation's culture, our way of life and wants to change even the name of our country. IT IS ANTI-FILIPINO.

 

And the reason why I cherish our hispanic iheritage which should be taught to each and every authentic Filipino is because we are a new nation who have moved forward.

 

I quote F. Zialcita that pointed to that very originality that separated us from what appeared to be mere low quality copies of the Chinese in East Asia of our neighbors:

 

"Highlighting commonalities while using a more inductive approach creates space as well for us Hispanized Filipinos in Southeast Asia.while many of our characteristic artifacts and rituals do indeed link us to the Hispanic world, they link us as well to Southeast Asia. Our cooking style, national costume, traditional urban houses and even our Good Friday ritual bridge two worlds: Southeast Asia and the Hispanic World." (F. Zialcita, Authentic though not Exotic,"Essays on Filipino Identity," p.298.)

 

So I say to every patriotic Filipino, know who your real enemies are. Dont apologise for hat our ancestors have done to make us strong culturally and politically. Make no apologies of who we are. Defend us against those who are undermining our unity as Filipinos, especially, when they denigrade our character and our Filipino culture.

 

Andale Companyeros. Padayon!
