Should the Filipino students still have to learn the history of the Philippines debate I'm pro
Peter Singer
You're arguing *for* mandatory Philippine history — but that locks students into one national narrative while the world demands they think globally. Why memorize dates when they could master skills employers actually want?

because we need it for patriotrism
Peter Singer
Patriotism built on forced memorization is fragile — real love of country comes from understanding *why* things matter, not cramming dates. If history only works when it's mandatory, maybe it's not actually compelling enough.

Critical Thinking: Examining historical events, such as the impacts of colonization and the Martial Law era, hones analytical skills and helps students question biases in modern narratives.
Peter Singer
Those skills don't require Philippine history—comparative colonialism, analyzing propaganda, questioning narratives work across any country's past. Why force one nation's story when critical thinking transfers everywhere? Pick what engages students, not what bureaucrats mandate.
