Why culture and heritage have a key role in nationbuilding.

By my third year, it became so bad I asked my Dad if he could send me abroad for school, but he said no. He told me I had to face the attacks and be secure in the knowledge that Uncle Andy was not responsible for Ninoy’s death. I managed to plod through high school, but not without being scarred for life. Who isn’t scarred by life somehow, right? High school is a tough place to be.
Many decades later, and thank goodness no links to the devil so far. But on that journey of learning more about my family history I began to learn to appreciate heritage. It made me understand how important it is for every Filipino to know and rely on their heritage in good times and bad. Well, my uncle always saw the bigger picture. As I continued my search to find why he found culture and heritage important, I came across three speeches that broached the topic. In essence, he believed that learning about one’s heritage and culture had a purpose: Our culture and heritage tell us our values or “ethics” as a community, as a people, and as a nation.
