FALSE HISTORY CURSES PINOYS FOREVER

False history curses Pinoys forever

WILL EVER REMAIN IN THE CURSE OF DISUNITY, 
LACK OF LOVE FOR COUNTRY, 
GREED FOR MATERIAL THINGS,
 and CRAB MENTALITY.

I write this as we near the "fake" Independence Day on June 12, 2012.

This is so because our education system does not teach the truth in our history since Grade 1.

Before Philippines was said to have been discovered by Magellan, all the inhabitants of the Philippines, except for the Lumads now, were all embracing Islam as religion, from Luzon to Visayas to Mindanao and Sulu. Our schools do not teach this.

The first prosperous society in the Philippines was the one organized as the Sultanate of Sulu spanning Sabah. But we do not teach our children well.

The lack of information about the lives, religions, culture and works of our Filipino Muslim heroes must have been the seed of discrimination by the Filipino Christians against the Philippine Muslims.  The Christians must have adopted the habit of feeling they are superiors because of Spanish influence.

Let's fast-forward to the beginning of the massive revolution against Spain.

First: our schools do not teach that Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo manipulated the first presidential election in Tejero, Cavite to beat Supremo ANDRES BONIFACIO. A hundred years hence, every election has been tainted by fraud, including the brutal "Hello Garci" operations.

Second: our schools do not teach that Gen. Aguinaldo faked the arrest story on how did they capture Andres Bonifacio at a hut in Indang, Cavite, where the Supremo was waiting for a guide to lead them to Tondo, Manila after signing the "Acta de Tejero" to denounce the massive fraud that attended the Tejero convention election.

Third:  our schools do not teach that Aguinaldo fabricated the charge of treason against Andres Bonifacio and Procopio Bonifacio?

Fourth: our schools do not teach that Bonifacio was given a lawyer to defend themselves but the lawyer confessed the guilt and instead pleaded that Andres and Procopio be spared from the death penalty and instead be punished only with life imprisonment.

Fifth: our schools do not teach that the best defense used by the lawyer of Bonifacio was only to pray "OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN...."

Sixth: our schools do not teach that out of disgust, Andres stood up and defended himself by sharply saying: "How can I be guilty of treason, an act of treachery to the country, when we have no country yet, that you are Magdalo and we are Magdiwang?"

Seventh, our schools do not teach that the charges of Aguinaldo were mere words without supporting evidence yet the tribunal constituted by Aguinaldo convicted Andres and Procopio to death.

Eight: our schools do not teach that Aguinaldo accused that Bonifacio wrote letters to other generals to assassinate Aguinaldo when not one letter was shown and not one general alluded to was presented.

Ninth: our schools do not teach that Aguinaldo also accused Bonifacio of giving P10.00 to Colonel Pedro Giron to assassinate Aguinaldo when the money was not even shown to the mock tribunal?

Tenth: our schools do not teach that the colonel sent by Aguinaldo to capture Bonifacio in Indang, Cavite even raped the wife of Bonifacio, Gregoria de Jesus, who must have been then a delicious woman for being 19-year-old.

There are thousands of other questions in our history not being told, or if told were done untruthfully.

What has our National Historical Institute been doing?

WHY?  WHY?  WHY?

…nothing really changes does it? “The Untold History of the Philippines” will make a best seller but a daunting task even if one can find a financer. Why was Rizal made a National Hero and not Andres Bonefacio? Rizal’s books were not even original copied almost verbatim specially the “El Filibusterismo” from the “Count of Monte Cristo.” Rizal altered the ending: Crisostomo Ibarra dumped the treasure into the sea from a cliff in a moment of hopelessness. Rizal worked tirelessly to make Philippines a province of Spain unlike Bonefacio who founded the KKK. It is hard to imagine that even then; the moneyed get recognition but not the ordinary pinoy :-( who is no less heroic than the properly connected. I think it is likewise proper to investigate the assassination of the Bonefacio brothers a century after if only to set the record straight. It is a political assassination that remained likewise unchanged to this day. I hope one day; someone will take up the challenge and write the book…

Why? Why? Why? If you were the conquistador/colonist/imperialist trying to expand and colonize new territories, would it serve your interests and objectives better if you go ahead and rewrite the history of your new conquests? Burn all the existing books and references (make them disappear or non-existent so to speak) and bring in new educators and teaching materials and kind of refocus their direction? Does it make sense?

Good questions Pagariya a Berteni Toto Cataluna Causing.

There are 1001 questions that we need to answer. One fundamental question is why are we still calling ourselves Filipinos, 100+ years after the Americans chased the cruel Spaniards out of the archipelago, or shall we say, 100+ years after the cruel Spaniards sold the inhabitants at a buck a piece to the Americans. No other country in the Hispanic world retain or took the name of a Spanish King.

You have raised a very good point. The history of the people of the archipelago, our common history, did not start when Ferdinand Magellan screwed up big time and landed in Five Wives Island instead of India.

Dio mio!

Teodoro Agoncillo rewrote Philippine history that was taught to us in the textbooks of Zaide and Lopez. The sadder is lie is by the government to suppress the circulation of Agoncillo's book 'Philippine History and Revolution'. I have read that book and I definitely agree that Toto Causing's allegations are all true and they are part of Philippine history that most of us still don't know or don't want to accept. In my own opinion, the Filipino people have never won a single revolution. This is the very reason why Filipinos do not have a common unity upon which to congeal towards national integrity and economic development. However, being conscious of the true history could be a beginning of social change.

Yes, that's because our textbooks in Araling Panlipunan/MAKABAYAN are under the monopoly of IMF-WB.

The blood of Bonifacio is still crying out justice for his unfair death. The evidence is here up until now we Filipinos are under a curse because of that one unfortunate day in our history the First Philippine election for the 1st President of the Republic. Politicians defrauding one another that causes our country to go down into the brink of hopelessness and despair. The crab mentality that still roams around among too many of our kababayans. We have to realize and ask for forgiveness to bonifacio for what our ancestors did that day to break the cycle of that curse in our beloved country.

Yep there were some doubts to our history i guess, but just hearing these accusations doesnt proved much. I think it would be best if you peovide those links or references to those incharge and push the real history of our nation so for us to be enlightened.
