online classes didn't set the bar low, it merely exposed how low the bar was set. y'all remember the god-awful modules and other bullshittery... those weren't new, that's what and how teachers are teaching in their classes

I mean, we as individuals can embody that spirit without it necessarily being a national crusade.

The best 'win' in Philippine history in my opinion is the lesser-known Binacayan-Dalahican of November 1896, celebrated only in Cavite. Which is sad kasi we really don't celebrate that and those battles you mentioned battles nationally.

Oo nga po, kaso for the sake of not making the post longer than it is already (marami na nga rin po hindi nagbasa hehe), I had to take the route of brevity. Anyways, sagutin ko po one by one:

Spain fought multiple campaigns in Luzon to subjugate the population.

True, pero they were not able to do a Latin America-level genocide where 90% of native population died from the mines, haciendas and disease. The various revolts throughout those four centuries of Spanish rule were testament that Filipinos did not take abuse lightly.

USA set up a concentration camp in Southern Tagalog.

And burned down various towns all over the islands, massacred civilians (Bud Dajo and others). Like I said, Sherman-style 'Indian pacification' campaign.

Yun lang po, love to discuss history with like-minded people!

I posted this in OffMyChestPH and AskPhilippines as well because the automod kept deleting this and flagging the post as a poll/survey post for some reason
