Novel & Cerita Philippine History Book

We had not had a single drink nor bite. I was going back to Ace when I felt tired, so I slump on the floor of the History section when something caught my eyes. The Complete History of The Philippines. History. The word crossed my mind. I had seen it in her journal when I was flipping through it. 'Why did I even take on History as a major?' I recalled. She was a history major student. Maybe there was something in this section of the library, maybe she did not hide the book in the Literary section because that would be the most obvious place to hide it.

It’s growing and it’s time to prepare. PHILIPPINES was a small island made of so many islands – and a great country. Filipinos were called to the people who lived there. Before, on this island lived the Indians, the Negros, and the Malays. Then, the Spanish came to conquer. Also, the Japanese became interested as the Americans did. Sometime in between, the Chinese had been recorded doing business with the locals. Filipinos were a tribe from different tribes. They were amazing people as well. Humans appreciated this county. Aside from the people, the island held strange magic. It possessed a paradise. The trees and rivers, the mountains and the skies agreed with everything.

"What a stupid name. Is it a made-up name like many people do in the Colony? Who gave you that name?" "No. My mother. She's a gypsy. Long story." "Oh. So you're one of them, eh?" "What do you mean?" "A colonizer: an enemy of the country." "Which country? This one? Sir, you don't know your history. The Philippines never became an independent country. It was a Spanish colony for more than three-hundred years and later got ceded to the US by Spain. During World War II, it became a Japanese colony for a few years, then got recolonized by the US and stayed this way until today. "

(third person Pov) Fifteen years had passed since the last chapter of their life, and the kingdoms of Tondo and Pasig were thriving under the wise and just rule of Hara Dayang Kalangitan and Raja Gat Lontok. The trade with the Ming Kingdom of the north had brought unprecedented prosperity to the region, with the exchange of luxurious goods like silk, porcelain, and tea for the rich resources of the Philippines, such as pearls, gold, and spices.

Might have to try that myself. I hope Tala is okay with this. She sounds… afraid. Maybe the house is enough to distract her. There’s a date carved into the stone above the front door that reads “1587,” which impresses me, but maybe not Tala. “How old are the Philippines?” I ask her, pointing out the date as we walk along the front of the house, headed for the gateway to the back. Tala pulls an angry face and launches into a furious complaint about her country’s history. It sounds awful. Passed around between Spain and America despite a revolution, promised independence but then invaded by the Japanese. It's bad, but it takes her mind off Sarah’s brother.

“Why did you choose to make tacos?” “We wanted to make something new for us as well. Digging deep into our history, the Philippines was a Spanish colony for 333 years, even longer than Mexico. Both countries were colonized and were part of the Spanish Empire. Many of our fruits and vegetables were brought from Mexico through the Galleon Trade. Such as camote which is sweet potato, singkamas which is Jicama, mani--peanuts, mais--corn and kamatis--tomato.” The Principal who was with the teachers kept nodding in approval. ‘This student really did her research.’
