Philippines 50 Years from Now

Throughout our history, the great turning points that

have allowed as achieving national democracy and

progress have been made possible by our National

Heroes and collective efforts of the Filipino people. Some

of us witnessed and those who did not know that decades

go, our country were colonized by other nation and

suffered from their martial rule. However during that

time, our fate became dependent on the will and whim of

a dictator who put himself ahead of all other

considerations. It was the Filipino who untied us from the

chains.

But what will be the Philippines 50 years from now? By

years later, Martial Law, War, and Colonization can no

longer exist. The Philippines and the other country will


able to help hand in hand for the betterment of the

country. As the young generation, our voice matters. Our

words are starting to matter.

Today, being not only a Filipino citizen, but also a young

youths, can have a moral responsibility towards the

country. It is the youth of today that is going to bear the

consequences of the actions of today. It is “our” duty to

ensure the actions only do well to our country and do not

cause more harm than what is already done.

. In the age of the New Media and technological

advancements, the capacity to do more, reach more

people and act earlier could make possible to

communicate with other countries. In that way, they will

visit the Philippines not no colonized but rather to

promote our country to others.


Fourteen-year old Ruben Manog

He was a victim in the time of Martial Law when he was

14 years old. His whole body shook with a dreadful

thought: This is the day Im going to die.

The life of this man went through many hard times under

Marcos two four-year terms. He was fired with guns in his

ear and tortured his family in front of his eyes. It is not

easy to be in Marcos time. His reign put the whole

country in his absolute power and under the military rule.

The society was deprived from the truth and continually

fed by lies. People are treated like animals, their human

rights abused. Innocent one are suffering but the devilish

ones enjoyed the benefit. Inequality is truly rampant and

there were increased of poverty resulting in social

unrest. Even the youths were taking to the streets to

rally against military abuses and government corruption.


On the Indolence of the Filipinos

Rizal presented a persuasive view of circumstances that

brought about the Filipino indolence.

Before the Spaniards came in to the Philippines, Filipinos

before sunrise, are much ready to start planting

vegetables and harvests. Then the Spaniards came to our

lands, they burned many houses, eradicated some goods

and resources, and stop our economic and commercial

cycle. Many people were asked to work for them. They

viewed their life hopeless and they thought themselves

as inferiors. Gambling grown up and they trusted fortune

to make their status quite good. Today much indolence

hopeless mentality stays toward the masses. There are

times that people stays for nothing since they were tired

of working everyday but at the end, Filipinos are still

working hard for their economic needs.
