PILIPINOS! Know your history.

[buggz05]

In the name of peace and prosperity in Nusantara, to work together among Nations here is sought, regardless of hidden political interest and agenda, lest there is.

.

The success of many nations is brought by the contribution of one single nation that is usually believed to be weak and poor nation.

OP, interesting stuff you posted. I knew a bit of history since my mom told me about it while I was young; but your post just added more to my knowledge of our culture.

Yeah. Filipinos of old were very renowned in the region. Like the video said, we had great relations with our neighbors. Great values and an honorable people. And we held up our own very well. At one point, we were even a feared force. Hey, we did kick Magellan's #@$ back in 1521.

Nowadays, it's sad that we're being bullied by China over a group of islands that aren't remotely even close to their territory. And we really can't defend ourselves if the #$%@ got real.

After looking deeper into the actual meaning and ancients roots of the N word, it brought me back to here. What's amazing to me is that the N word today, symbolizes the biggest form of corruption modern society has ever known. Hatred at its finest through slavery, murdering, modern oppression etc. But when you realize where this word actually came from, and how it stood for great things across many many cultures that spanned the 4 corners of the globe, you realize the power of understanding the meanings of the things you read and speak. The N word today is used for prejudice, oppression, ignorance and used towards people considered to be lower than your average person. The word Naga, is eastern symbolizing one of the first civilizations of earthlings directly born from divine beings. NGR is the Egyptian word for "God" or "Nature". Negash is a biblical translation for "King" or "Emporer".
The reason I am mentioning this is because the ancient filipinos, egyptians and israelites all shared a belief that life is/was created out of text and spoken words. Knowing the meanings of these things has profound effects. The corruption of the N word had profound effects. Imagine how amazingly effective it would be to spread such knowledge of how good things use to be? 

The whole world is being oppressed right now by ruling classes, similar oppressions to ancient filipinos and african slaves, but with a modern day twist. There is only one way to defeat that oppression. Knowledge.

The winners write the history.  No one can go undefeated nahmsayin nagas?

Edit: Also, don't let media fool you etc. I read on the FBI or CIA website that the Philippines was #3 on the list of countries LEAST effected by the global financial crisis. The Philippines are still a major resource to alot of other countries. The Philippines is HUGE in importance to America's interest in the pacific or asia.

I don't know if Sulu's early prosperity is widely known, but I just found out about it this year.

Oh, and everyone's favorite boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao is a congressman. Go figure.

And you have movie actors who haven't really done jack while in office get the most number of votes during reelection. Disappointing.

i honestly believe anyone would be a shoo-in in politics here if you're popular enough, rich enough, or make the people scared of you (in some cases, some politicians are gangsta, with tons of bodyguards and they're strapped as well; you got ex-convicts getting elected as well). You just have to know how to read and write. Doesn't matter if you have a legal background or not. If the people like you, you're on your way.

sad but true
