The Miseducation of the Filipino by Renato Constantino Renato Constantino contends in his essay "... more The Miseducation of the Filipino by Renato Constantino Renato Constantino contends in his essay "The Miseducation of the Filipino" that the educational system established by the United States is designed to indoctrinate Filipinos with a colonial mentality and to encourage passivity in order to prevent them from challenging American hegemony in the country. He added that the lack of local knowledge, nationalism, and indigenous culture was the most negative effect of this "Miseducation." The concept of Constantino's "Miseducation of the Filipino" is used in this chapter as a framewor k for analyzing how American colonialism, which lasted from the 1900s to 1946, ingrained "miseducated diplomacy" into the conduct of international relations. The brief historical overview of Constantino's writi ngs on American colonialism, Filipino nationalism, and miseducation is presented first. The author also

Are you in favor of Constantino's view that rizal is "just a moment in Philippine history" and in the concept of "decolonized" filipinos? Si rizal bilang pambansang bayani o simpleng pambansang pakboy ng filipinas sa ika-19 siglo ng kasaysayan? Reflect your thoughts in a 5-page paper. In-depth study and repetition of Jose Rizal's life story are commonplace in educational settings. We might know him better than our relatives. Additionally, we have developed the habit of looking straight at Rizal's side parted curls when asked to name the national hero of the Philippines. We no longer remember that the Philippines does not have a national hero. When people hear the term "national hero," the first thing that comes to mind is a person who dies for their country. People generally understand that heroes are those who risk their lives and serve their country for the benefit of their people. Additionally, individuals regard soldiers, police officers, doctors, and others who serve their country and its citizens as heroes. A true hero is someone who, on behalf of the majority of citizens, has contributed significantly to the development and progress of society. Through history, people learn about the contributions that national heroes have made to the country, and they are rewarded or acknowledged for what they have done for their people and country.

The book contains no new findings or claims, but rather new interpretations of previously known facts and events. Unlike other accounts of Philippine history, it is free of bias from Spanish and American colonialists. Renato Constantino's goal is to rediscover the past so that it can serve as a guide for the present. An analytical interpretation of history can help guide society toward better development by determining which policies and concepts are correct based on experience. It is also stated that the main driving force in Philippine history has been its rich tradition of struggle, which is still relevant to this day and age. As citizens become more aware of the nation's problems. They would also begin to fight for change in this state of affairs. Nowadays, struggle can manifest itself in a variety of ways, such as through protest or through social media. Renato Constantino wants to learn history so that he can understand the struggles of the past Filipino people and use that knowledge to fight for what we have always fought for: freedom and the development of the Philippines. Constantino's mission is to write a true Filipino history, the history of the Filipino nation, rather than writing Philippine history from the perspective of Filipinos. This implies that the primary focus has been on the unidentified masses of individuals, as well as the social forces created by their shared lives and hardships. Even while history is frequently referred to as the story of man the individual, Constantino suggested that it is actually the story of man the community, or connected man. Without civilization, there would be no past, and without humans, there would be no cultures. He added that people learn from historical struggles as they go in life and that they offer structure and strength to a world that is continuously changing. The norms of social progress are revealed, the circumstances of a changing society are described, class activity is tracked, the misconceptions that have clouded people's thinking are dispelled, and the latent heroism and intelligence of the masses are shown by studying these adversities. Because of this, such a history is both a resource and a tool in the never-ending struggle for more liberty and a more just nation. As a result, it is essential that students read this book since it is important for us to be aware of our nation's history and the events that occurred there in the past. This is due to the fact that what happened in the past has an impact on what is happening now. Reading this book has expanded my perspective on historical events and provided me with fresh perspectives. It has made me more aware of what is going on in our society. The main lessons from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, the 1896 Revolution, American colonization, and the neocolonial setup in Constantino's book are discussed in this essay. Renato Constantino's "The Philippines. A Past Revisited" (1975) discussed the faults in the written history of the Philippines. Constantino suggested that rewriting our history from the perspective of the people while abandoning colonial influences can provide Filipinos a fair understanding of themselves. It is apparent throughout the Philippines' history that Filipinos lack of any clear grasp of who they are. The lack of consciousness for their own identity is the reason for the repetition of misgivings and misfortunes in the society, as well as the repeating pattern of dependence on other, more dominant countries.
