While going over activities being planned for the forthcoming Philippine Quincentennial, I suddenly recalled an observation made during the Globalization Lecture series held 20 years after James Fallows wrote his essay, “A Damaged Culture.” It stated: “The Philippines is just going around in circles while other countries have progressed. What is innate in Filipino culture that keeps development slow and the gap between extreme rich and extreme poor wide?”
The quincentennial celebrates the achievement of science, our part in the circumnavigation of the world for the first time, and the 500th anniversary of the Victory at Mactan and 500 years of Christianity.
