Unique Philippines. WOW Philippines!

The history of the country had a big role into where it is right now. I realize that truly, it is important that we learn our history in creating foreign policy. It will enable us to learn from these mistakes and improve the policies and programs made in the past. Culture and tradition is included in the discourse of history. For me, the history of the Philippines is one of the most interesting histories in the world. My professor in Philippine history even once told me that we should be more interested that our own history because we are Filipinos. And he also said that our history is very interesting and unique. It is not boring as compared to other countries. It is extraordinary. And I have to agree with him. The Philippines really has a different and one of a kind history. I also felt that there is a need to amend the Constitution. It is the fundamental law of the land and I believe that there are certain parts that need change. But, I don’t think that this is the right time to amend it due to the people present in the government. It will have its proper time. The current administration must fully work on the three non-negotiable policies of the country. These are very important and if they will be well executed. The Philippines will be a better Philippines. We must still remember that the Foreign Policy is an extension of the domestic policies of the country. And that our history must be looked back to when we are creating policies. I believe that history repeats itself. But just like what the theory of Social Constructivism. We create our own lives and that what we are today is because of what we did in the past.
