My heritage (An Essay)

People have a lot of things to look forward to through globalization.  People get to learn the culture of others. However, as a result, they tend to turn away from theirs. Sometimes they even find their  culture shameful. In the end, they forget to be proud of who they are, and come to hate that side of them. Some go as far as erasing that part of culture from their looks and their speech.

If no one knows, let me fill you in. I’m a Filipino. Not entirely pure-blooded, but birth and bred on this land, with a bit of tribal blood in my veins. I know my roots, and I know the branches of the tree I come from. 

I would like to say just how proud I am to be one. A Filipino. And maybe some may know the controversy surrounding our country. My culture could end with the next steps the government is taking in terms of education. They decide to remove the study of Filipino, Philippines Arts, and Constitution from the college curriculum. I find this horrifying, because here’s what they break into the news next. They want to add Korean as a subject in schools! It’s insane! It’s mental!

Now before every K-fan blows off on me, let me explain why I think that way. 

First off, I’m a KPOP fan. I have nothing against Korean being taught in schools.But here’s the thing-- the fact that you plan on erasing OUR OWN CULTURE from OUR OWN COUNTRY is completely disgusting. We are Filipinos, not Koreans, not Japanese, not Chinese, Americans, French, or Spaniards.

Our forefathers, the revolutionaries, the Katipunan, gave up their lives for our Inang Bayan (Mother Land), and officials just throw that out the window. Dr. Jose Rizal must be turning in his grave by now. 

Ang mamatay nang dahil sa’yo. A famous line from our national anthem. To die for your sake. Our country’s sake. And yet, here we are, our country dying for OUR sake instead.

I believe that my country’s culture, language literature, and mythology were not given as much importance by its own people, the same people who root for other countries instead of being proud of their own.

People may make fun of me for my patriotism, for the enthusiasm I have for my heritage, but I will embrace it. My heritage is a part of me, and that’s one of the things that will never change.
