As a writer and reader, I can't imagine my old age if I didn't know Filipino history. I cannot say that I am obsessed with this subject as I am still reading and studying. Yes.
There is no end to learning and exploring the past. And as Filipinos, it is our responsibility to know this. Because if you accept our story, your love for the country will grow. And for our elders, it is our responsibility to make sure that the next generation is not historically ignorant. I know there is an internet these days and everyone has the opportunity to study and read history. However, the question is how do we get people, especially young people, interested in our history? This is why Filipino history is important at all levels from primary school to secondary school. So they can often identify their meaning (Filipino history).
If there really is a need (although I don't think there is a compelling reason) and there is a need to choose between elementary school and secondary school to remove the Philippine history subject, I will only refer the primary school to the teachers and the department. I consider it a more important push than I do because I prefer high school because their age is suitable for understanding the story.
When I first started reading about histories, I believed that no one else could erase our history. As it was written He is etched in the minds of many, buried in the chest of a real Filipino. Therefore, one of my dreams as a writer is to add at least something to our history.
But I was wrong. Currently, I believe our golden story is on the verge. Now there are more reasons to distract people, especially young people. Our history is on the verge of collapse because some are doing everything (historical revisionism) for their benefit. Why do Filipinos have different views on martial law during the Marcos regime? Why do some people argue between Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio for the title of national hero? Emilio Aguinalo a traitor?
nothing is impossible. It is impossible to change or reverse the story we read today, not for good, but for the change of people. Hopefully DepEd thinks about it again. Philippine history, the subject of the Philippines.
I do not know! Returning the history of the Philippines to the secondary curriculum.
