1. Did Rizal supported the 1896 Philippine Revolution of bonifacio? Why or why not? - I don’t think he did. If I were to tell based on what I understand in his point of view, he don’t want Filipinos to revolt yet, because he knew that this will not succeed. But on the other hand, I think that he supported it on his own ways. He wanted Filipinos to be free, one of the reason why he build the group “La liga Filipina, it’s because he wanted too, to revolt but I think he is still waiting for the right time, that is why he didn’t agreed into revolving. He think that the resources of the Filipino is not enough, that we cannot win the fight with only knives while the opponent uses guns and armalites. The opponent of the Philippines is well resources and has a lot of equipment’s where in Rizal feared that of ever the revolution of the Filipinos continues, we will only end up dead and fighting without winning over it. We’ll just lose equipment’s, resources and of course our Filipino men would die. Rizal only care for what would happen to our fellow Filipinos. He only wants us to be safe, another reason why he wanted to earn the freedom of the Filipinos. On my part, Rizal is a very caring man, he cared for our country like it was his home, and it’s his home. When he was in dapitan, one of the revolutionist went to him, asking for his permission about the revolution, and he disagreed, not because he do not want to free our country, it is because he cares. Because he do not want anyone…

This may appear to be a minor issue in America, but in Metro-Manila, the central city of the Philippines, the traffic is unbelievably horrendous: crowdedness of all types of vehicles, narrowed structure of the streets, and the great lack of discipline from the drivers. What makes matters worse is that the city of Manila is heavily overpopulated. Due to the fact that Philippines is a tropical nation, there are reoccurring rain storms and hurricanes that cause floods within the city. This is a…

The rumors are true about us, we eat dogs. Obviously not in America, but my family in the Philippines do. I grew up with my grandparents in the same house as my parents because in the Philippines the eldest son takes the grandparents in when they can no longer live by themselves. I always knew that I was not fully American when my American friends didn’t understand they had to take their shoes off at the door or why there was left-overs in a cookie container. We also keep every grocery bag for…

To begin with, life in the Philippines is just easy, simple, and no rush. Families and friends are always around to help, to comfort, and to guide me when I feel lost. The people are friendly and warm, known to be “smiling people” even in times of calamities, as seen on the news. Also, the buzzing mass transportations such as tricycles, jeepneys, buses, taxis, and trains are accessible to the public. Nonetheless, as a typical Filipino I aspired to live in the land of milk and honey, where…
