Filipinos tontos

[jick.cejoco]

Nobody was born perfect nor became perfect after spending time and money on education or gaining so much experience. An example that deserves the Darwin awards is the tearing down of the last bell tower in Maasin, southern Leyte that the spaniards built in favor of a less than glamorous or beneficial to the community save the interest of the owner of the building where the bell tower used to stand. Doesn't the Filipinos value history or the potential of the items that belonged to the community for centuries past? I am pretty sure there are things that have happened in the same fashion. The objective is to make the general public be aware of the destruction of parts of our valued heritage.

in a country where the daily lives of most of its people are spent earning enough money to buy food for the day PRESERVING HISTORICAL SITES IS NOT ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES

in a country where government officials only care about enriching themselves PRESERVING HISTORICAL SITES IS NOT ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES

it's only enlightened people that care about history and want to preserve historical sites for future generations

Filipinos aren't enlightened people yet

nasa lower levels of the pyramid palang ang pinoy

Ask anybody where a certain mall is located, alam agad iyan. But where a certain museum is located? Kamot ulo.

Mapa-historical site o history pa yan, walang paki ang Pinoy. Binoboto nga nila ulet mga trapo eh.

My personal theory is that we're not really proud of our own history/culture, that's why we have little or no regard for such things. I think at the root of it all, we have a sort of identity crisis on the world stage.

Bakit ganun? Hard to tell. I'va often wondered what should come first, a country we can be proud of before we get a sense of national pride, or national pride and a sense of identity first before we can build a nation we can be proud of. Our ASEAN neighbors have definitely disproven the latter for me.

And of course, our local politicking/corruption doesn't help. But imho that can be traced to that identity crisis as well.

Less about enlightenment and more about "who has the money"...

If you don't want the owner to let a historical building go to waste... given them the money to fix it up.

A house that Rizal's mother lived at in Binan has fallen into ruin and disrepair, simply because the lot owners don't want to commit the money to fix it.

If people want these things fixed and maintained... they should just go ahead and come up with the millions required to rebuild them. Then compensate the owners for having to hold onto old buildings that won't contribute anything to their bottom-line... or pay them the big bucks to buy it off their hands.

While I'm saddened by the loss of some of these historical buildings and structures, heritage is a luxury for the very rich. The Philippines is not very rich.

Not in Negros. We value our heritage and history. Though we do not oppose modernization and progress.
