Expectation Vs. Reality

1.How do you envision an ideal Philippine nation? How would you describe the current
Philippines?
Our native language is Filipino, but I have a hard time understanding this topic despite finding it
intriguing. I anticipate learning a lot from studying the subject matter included in the course as a
Filipino. Learning more about the language would undoubtedly boost your confidence when speaking
to other Filipinos. Filipino language is supposed to be a dividing line for us Filipinos, despite the fact
that we speak several dialects of the Philippine language. After studying the subject, I hope to be
proficient in reading, writing, and speaking Filipino. I'm looking forward to it because the language I
use in my daily interactions with other people reflects how proud I am to be Filipino.

When working here, there are always high expectations, in my experience. The problem is
that, despite the Department of Foreign Affairs' (DFA) best efforts, no one is ever able to
accurately describe what working conditions in the Philippines would be like. Fortunately, I
have had the pleasure of dealing with many great individuals in this government, and I am
confident that things will continue to improve. The Foreign Affairs Office in particular, I
expect the government to be attentive to the demands of the Filipino people and to be focused
with the country's springtime treasure search while also making every effort to make the
process as smooth as possible.
3. Do you think nationalism is still alive in Filipinos?

Yes, I strongly believe Filipinos are still at the center of our nation due to historically
significant events. Just like the history of Dr. Jose Rizal took all the necessary steps before
declaring our nation independent throughout the 333 years that Spain ruled it. Because of his
contributions to the saving and liberation of the Philippines through his writings Noli Me
Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Dr. Jose Rizal is revered as a national hero in our nation. The
two books were the only works that Dr. Jose Rizal used to guide the other Filipinos and to
notify them of what was already happening. Dr. Jose Rizal secretly wrote about his
predicament at the time and transmitted the word to the other Filipinos. All Filipinos are able
to voice their concerns to the government and cast their vote for the candidate they choose in
every election thanks to Jose Rizal. Filipinos still hold Jose Rizal in high regard because he
had a significant role in their education.
The Dr. Rizal Law, Republic Act No. 1425, was passed by the government and mandates that
all public and private schools, colleges, and universities include courses about their lives in
their curricula. This action preserves and furthers the history of the Republic of the
Philippines while also paying homage to Dr. Jose Rizal, a national hero. Also, even though
I'm still in school, I remember being impressed and thinking that Dr. Jose Rizal's ability to
maintain his position over the course of his life was the best thing about our nation when I
first learned about it in high school. Remember that despite the fact that our school taught me
about Rizal's life. To ensure that this act is still in place and that many children are learning
more about Philippine history, the majority of which comes from Dr. Jose Rizal and the book
he penned.
