Blog 4: Domino Effect on our Filipino Culture

I hope,one day, that I could see all Filipinos wearing the bahag and patadyong, or the Barong and Baro't saya for these clothes remind us pure Filipino culture before the Spaniards,Americans and Japanese came. However,due to cultural diversity overload, Filipinos forget how to be true Pinoys and most of us,forget what our culture truly is. This can be observed now,especially in today's generation, in which K-pop,J-pop and other foreign pop cultures greatly influence Filipinos' lifestyle and mentality. Not only in lifestyle, even our educational system adapts to American's strategy of learning because books and materials we used are just recycled knowledge from westerners. Philippines is a rich pot of melted culture but we are ignoring and despising it. This blank cultural appreciation of Filipinos is destroying our culture and life and it is up to us to revive it for the benefit of all.
