In Defense of Filipino 'Hispanidad'
It is without a doubt, that the Philippines is home to many races and cultures. With the combination of Eastern and Western cultures, such a nation makes it so particular to that of its Asian neighbors. It would take a lot of expeditions, trade and generations that would serve as the origins of civilization in the Philippines, even before the archipelago was named like it. It is through Spain’s continuous conquest for glory the foundations of our national identity would be laid upon. The main point of confusion, however, lies upon the identity crisis of Filipinos which prevails to the present. It is so easy for us to point the numerous neglects and flaws of Spanish past without actually realizing how much we owe them our gratitude in the realms of religion, customs, language, and national identity.

Speaking Up About Microaggression
I may have accidentally been mean to a coworker the other day. I didn't mean to be mean, honestly. It's just that for some reason, all the years I was afraid to speak out when I saw or heard someone tell an insensitive joke or casually make a racist, sexist, homophobic, or agist statement have slipped away.

OPINION | ‘Look what you made me do’: A study on Rizal’s justification of the existence of Filipino indolence and its roots
The Indolence of The Filipino by José Rizal “We must confess that indolence does actually and positively exist there; only that, instead of holding it to be the cause of the backwardness and the trouble, we regard it as the effect of the trouble and the backwardness, by fostering the development of a lamentable predisposition.” — José Rizal, 1890.

OPINION | ‘BABAE KA! Hindi Babae Lang’
IN THE BEGINNING… A group of 20 young women in Malolos, Bulacan, petitioned for permission to start a “night school” at Rufina Reyes’ house on December 12, 1888, during the visit of Governor-General Valeriano Wyler. They dubbed Seor Teodoro Sandino, a professor of Latin at the time, as the most qualified person to teach them the “beautiful Spanish language.” To Marcelo del Pilar, Graceano Lopez Jeana, and Jose Rizal, Filipino women were breaking off the chains of colonialism, but the Augustinians parish priest saw it as an act of rebellion. In 1869, the 20 women launched the school in Rufina Reyes’ house. Rizal was ecstatic to find women in the Philippines who resembled them. In February 1889, he sent them a letter written in Tagalog. Jose Rizal left a legacy for Filipino women in his essay “To the Young Women of Malolos,” in which he speaks to all diverse types of women, encompassing young children, maidens, wives, and mothers. Rizal emphasizes in his article what he wants Filipino women to remember. This piece was composed while he was in London.
