@lance.cham: Colonizers to BLAME for our lack of reading? 🤔 In China, book stores are open 24/7 and could go as high as five to six storey buildings. In contrary, the National Readership Survey show continuous declines in readership among Filipinos. There are very limited public libraries also. Why is this the case? Journalist @Writer Wilson shares his thoughts to host Lance on this phenomenon and attributes it to colonization. #podcast #pandesaltalks #wilsonleeflores #reading #writing #kamuningbakerycafe
The main reason is the corruption of the Filipino elites. You are blaming the Spanish who was here 150 years ago. For all I know, the most brilliant minds came from that era. We had Rizal, Recto, Quezon, Mabini, Arellano, etc. These people are still unparalled up to this day. We can blame the Spaniards for a lot of things but not this one. Also worth noting that when the Americans came, their main objective was to remove the vestiges of Spaniards by educating Filipinos with Western values and ideology. Spanish-educated citizens were still forced to adapt to the new colonial regime. Even if the Spaniards taught everyone, it would still go down the drain.

I dont think we have to go way back spaniards time to blame our lack of reading comprehension. We have a lackluster education system and does not prioritize reading comprehension

Same with politics and our education system now. They are afraid na tumalino mga susunod na voters kasi hindi sila mananalo pag masmadami ang matalinong voters.

That is simply not true — it was actually through colonization, in its good and bad, that the Philippines opened her ideas to civilizations both Western and Eastern

if anyone have watched the TV series Shogun, you might loosely understand why the westerners treat East Asians like than compared to Latin Americans during the 15th century.
