From the trip, the one learning that we derived (with the help of SA 21) about our nation’s history is that there is no such thing as a pure Filipino. Everything we use, learn or know has been borrowed from somewhere else. From an anthropologist perspective, one would explain how the Philippines’ material culture is mixed and shows how different cultures influenced it. But more than that, it should not just be a case of investigating the surface value of history but also latent consequences. Lessons in SA lead us to question not only different changes, but also what patterns are recurring today. This trip as shown in the video was not simply a field trip to remember and appreciate our history but a moment to reflect the situation of our nation and to see what changes we should and can make.
