Magellan discovered the Philippines
We attended anticipated mass at Sta. Maria yesterday. For his homily, the priest talked about the feast of the Sto. Niño. He started off by attempting to narrate the history of the Sto. Niño. He began by asking a question to an audience of mostly high school and grade school children. “Alalahanin natin, sino ba ang nakadiskubre sa Pilipinas?” he asked, in a fishing kind of way. “Si…?” he continued. “Si Magellan!!” the children in front answered in chorus. The priest affirmed, “Tama! Noong nadiskubre ni Magellan ang ating bansa, dala-dala niya ang isang imahe ng batang Hesus…” and so he continue with a narration of the Sto. Niño’s history.
Tsk, tsk.
haha! lumitaw blog mo sa blogexplosion ko >_>
i just went to mass a while ago. The priest was american.
As usual, as what americans do, they integrate their own to what is unique to us. Ugh.
Basta we still and always will have something to be proud of.
forgive me… URI na ba ang URL??
I’m not comfortable with that “historical flaw”. just my 0.02
Can’t we just tell them the facts? Why include church dogmas in teaching our history? The church is not even the place to do so.
Sheesh… hate it. They still follow that Spaniard friar authenticated Philippine history. No wonder if their textbooks still have Otley Beyer as our historian… Should we have an all-out campaign to halt this Philippine history hypocrisy?
That retarded priest should be sent to jail for being a self-hating racist. That idiot Christian extremist rapist mofo Magellan did not discover Philippines. The Negritos did
