Throughout history, Filipinos have always been hospitable to other nations. We all know about the trading that our ancestors did with nearby countries like China and Malaysia. We welcomed their products, their cultures and traditions and in the process, unconsciously erased our own identities. This went on until Spain, America, and Japan subjugated us, and the Filipinos' idea of foreigners changed. After these things, we should have learned our lesson, but take a good look around you: are we as free as we would like to think ourselves to be?
