The video present from the Diorama Experience until Cory Aquino’s time.

The Diorama
experience exhibition has been synonymous with the Ayala Museum for the past four decades.
It represent the narrative of the story of the Philippine people in a way that compresses
extensive research on the events, architecture, costumes, technologies and topographies of
the times they represent. The museum has shown us why and how Filipinos go beyond during
that time. It has an abundant role in nourishing us Filipinos the past of our history and culture.
At the Ayala Museum, there’s have many gold objects, ceramics, and artifacts which were kept
for us to see how our ancestors in pre-colonial period lived and their culture and beliefs
before. Our ancestors somehow have similarities to the beliefs of the Egyptians wherein, they
believed in after life. Our beliefs, natives, ancestors and many things related o what we are as
a Filipino. It’s a fact that many of us didn’t appreciate what we are. Nowadays, we’re too
obsessed in the culture of other countries which leads in forgetting our own. For me, as a
Filipino, by the help of these museums strengthen my identity because it represents how our
ancestors bravely fought which were in the way to our liberty and how wealth our culture was
before.
I also watched the video of Magellan’s expedition which tells that Magellan met with the
chieftain of Cebu, who after converting to Christianity persuaded the Europeans to assist him
in conquering a rival tribe on the neighboring island of Mactan. Also for the Miguel Lopez de
Legazpi had sailed along the vastness of the seas, for days and nights just to reach the
beautiful and culturally rich island of the Southeast Asian hemisphere.

In the year 1851, six decades after the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippines, Sultan
Kudarat was born. He led his people against Spaniards. Nine years prior, Spanish Miguel Lopez
de Legazpi had already captured Manila, where he had successfully pacified Manila’s allied
rulers Rajah Sulayman and Lakan Dula. At the time, Spain had already colonized parts of the
Visayas, and it had its eyes set on conquering Mindanao.
After all, Philippine Revolution was tackled, whereas it is one of the most important events in
the country’s history, awakening a proud sense of nationalism for generations of Filipinos to
come. Emilio Aguinaldo was a Filipino revolutionary, politician and military leader who is
officially recognized as the first and the youngest President of the Philippines and the first
president of a constitutional republic in Asia. He established his headquarters in Biak-na-Bato
in Bulacan province. Philippines had been a Spanish colony for centuries when Emilio
Aguinaldo started a revolution in 1896 in the Philippine Islands. The Spanish colonial
government surrendered in August that year giving rise to tension between America decided
to keep Philippines as her Colony instead of granting them independence. Furthermore, when
Aguinaldo realized that he would not win a conventional war he resorted to guerilla war. This
made the war savage as ambushes and massacred rose as both side slaughtered each other
mercilessly. In general, before I even realize that the American Philippines war was a war
between imperialism and nationalism. A war between a nation that desired to have a colony
and that the desired to retain the independence. American had to take on Philippines because
it was the easiest option for an overseas colony. The colony would later become a strategic for
military and economic activities in Asia and Pacific region before gaining independence just
after the Second World War and became recognized as a nation by America and other nations.
