This document was written in1956, under the Magsaysay
administration, when the nation was still getting over its Japanese occupation and was heavily dependent on US rule. The Philippines was still fighting for independence at the time, and the nation was still progressively establishing its national identity and integrity. As a result, the ideals of freedom and nationalism were crucial due to multiple uprisings against the Philippine government at the period, there was a lot of chaos among Filipinos as well. Furthermore, despite the fact that this document was created many years ago, it still stands out since this section is extremely relevant for the current generation ,in which the filipino diaspora is widespread and our culture is being overwhelmed by foreign influence.
