Anak ng Bayan ( Children of the Nation )

Anak ng Bayan - Musikang Bayan




Whenever I listen to the lyrics of the song, I'm reminded of my youth, of my life, and what I do for my countrymen and for my Mother Country.
This song reminds me of the children who struggle everyday. They struggle for food. They struggle for your eyes and ears to see and listen. They struggle for Genuine National Democracy in the Philippines.
They struggle in the streets, in their daily lives, from poverty from which the government continues to neglect.
The rich becomes richer, while the poor gets poorer. Even with the new administration, nothing had changed. They only think of their interests, their own bourgeois and elite interests, while the people keeps on dying because of hunger, injustice, and human rights violation.
When these children of the nation fight for their rights, the government is deaf and blind. Instead of listening to their legitimate demands and needs, they're answered with goons and guns.
When will they listen? When will they give us the true Independence? When will the government of the Philippines answer our just demands? Aren't we entitled of free and quality education?
Aren't we entitled of freedom to express? Aren't we entitled to LIVE?


We know they'll not listen to the toiling Filipino masses, but will continue to be puppets of the US- Imperialist.
We're the future of our nation.


"...only through militant struggle can the best in the youth emerge..." - Jose Maria Sison.

Ang Edukasyon sa kasalukuyan (Ateneo de Davao University True Story)

Education is a right not a privilege. Sa ngayon, ang dekalidad edukasyon sa pilipinas ay unti-unting nahuhulog isang pribilehiyo na lamang ng mga taong may pera. Ang iba naman ay naghihirap sa pagtatrabaho upang makapagtapos lamang sa pag-aaral. Ngunit, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, nakasaad sa ating pambansang batayang batas na ang gobyerno ay responsable sa pagsisiguro na mabigyan ng libre at dekalidad na edukasyon ang lahat ng mamamayan ng bansa. Ngunit kabaliktaran ang nangyayari. Naging isang pangarap na mahirap makamit na lamang ang libre at dekalidad na edukasyon. Noon pa man ay nagiging palaisipan na ito para sakin. Maaari bang magkaroon ng libre at dekalidad na edukasyon? Mula nursery hanggang kolehiyo, nasa isang pampribadong eskwelahan ako nakapag-aral. Masasabi ko na dekalidad ang edukasyon tinatamasa ko. Ngunit, kinakailangan bang bayaran ng malaki upang magkaroon ng isang dekalidad na edukasyon? Naguguluhan na ako noon pa man. Akala ko ba Libre

Miseducation of a Filipino by Renato Constantino

THE MISEDUCATION OF THE FILIPINO Prof. Renato Constantino Education is a vital weapon of a people striving for economic emancipation, political  independence and cultural renaissance. We are such  a people. Philippine education therefore  must produce Filipinos who are aware of their country's problems, who understand the basic  solution to these problems, and who care enough to have courage to work and sacrifice for their  country's salvation. Nationalism in Education In recent years, in various sectors of our society, there have been nationalist stirrings which were  crystallized and articulated by the late Claro M. Recto, there were jealous demands for the  recognition of Philippine sovereignty on the Bases  question.  There were appeals for the  correction of the iniquitous economic relations between the Philippines and the United States. For a time, Filipino businessmen and industrialists rallied around the banner of the FILIPINO  FIRST policy, and variou
