Though the Spaniards ...That is right dear Mariette! Though the Spaniards colonized us for 333 years, we have been deprived of education. The Spaniards don't want any Filipino or as they call us 'indios' to gain knowledge in any sense in the fear of uprising, revolt, or fear of Filipinos learning something. Only those Filipinos that have Spanish blood are are male that were given a chance to have an education of some sort. <br /><br />So yes, culturally the Spainards have influenced us very greatly. With food, some words on our national language, our catholic faith. But for Education, I must say that we owe them to the early Americans, the 'Thomasites' to be specific, as they brought ships of American teachers to make our grandfathers literate and that includes the English Language. I believe that is also a reason why even if we are also been 'captured' by the Americans and they used our resources just like other Imperial nations, them giving us education gave them very nice impression to us, a big thing that the Spaniards have deprived us on all 300 years :)Stevenson Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137070659644887162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188477609790466104.post-1646195238036687782020-06-05T19:26:59.575+08:002020-06-05T19:26:59.575+08:00💞The Philippines were ceded to the U.S. in 1898 a...💞The Philippines were ceded to the U.S. in 1898 and in 1935 the Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth. That period after the Spanish American war was way before cute little Stevenson got born... Guess there's more Spanish influence somehow from the 16th century till 1898.

I felt teary eyed about your grandma and what she said when she was giving you her Sunday pastry. That is so kind of her and I can see her kindness with you. And thank you very much for reminding me about sweets because I really love sweets but I also have to refrain from having too much of it especially now that I am starting to age. I once was on a no sugar diet for months and that's when I really realize how addicting it hcan because when I totally took them out of my system, I was not looking for it at all! But yah, I started again so I kept eating them again but yes, this 30th I have to refrain from it as much as I can.<br /><br />Thank you very much dear Mariette! Oh and thank you so much for your compliment on my English :) I think it's because of how our Country was colonized for almost half a century by the Americans that our English was not just developed but instilled in our culture that is why you'll never get lost here in the Philippines because whether basic or advanced, everyone can understand and speak English :)Stevenson Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137070659644887162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188477609790466104.post-61813326756588675022020-06-05T18:36:42.697+08:002020-06-05T18:36:42.697+08:00Oh Rose, that is so nice of you to say!
