1
To our colonial forefathers, freedom 2(Old English freedom: power of self-determination) meant
achieving independence from foreign powers. The Filipinos fought countless battles, resulting to bloody
revolutions since the 19th century under the Spanish government; and the sacrifice and death of Filipinos
in the hands of Japanese forces during World War II. 3 Since the Philippines won the right to rule itself,
our country has been referred to as “land of bondage, land of the free” by the late statesman Raul
Manglapus. 4 True freedom means the ability to think, feel, say, or act however one chooses. 5 It is a
state where the bars of bondage do not exist. Unfortunately, there is still the humankind’s continuing
struggle for freedom as the widening gap between the haves and have nots is evident in terms of equal
educational opportunities.
