Pinoy na Pinoy! : essays on national culture / Edilberto N. Alegre. - 297 pages : illustrations 22 cm.
This edition explores what are ignored in the schools. It makes fun of the oft-taught concept of Filipino culture which goes this way: In the beginning there were no Filipinos. There were only pagan tribes in our islands. The Spaniards Christianized us and we should be grateful. The Americans civilized us. They introduces us to democracy, made us literate and aware of germs and diseases - and we should be even more grateful. We should be very grateful, for otherwise we would still be pagans. So we are a people who have been Hispanized and Americanized - and for that we should be eternally grateful.
