Exactly. All that English did in our education from K-12 did is to dispel our Filipino-ness, which stunted our cultural evolution and advancement- creating a nation of assimilated savages -which in turn transformed an abundant paradise into a desert. The undercurrent of opening ourselves up to foreign languages- is to accept without question, the way of life and ideas not natural to our ecosystem- thus we blindly step upon our own treasures, forcing discord to dispel our integrity and self-respect. The operating process for advancement and innovation is to ask intelligent questions; and what drives people and nations to attain the 3Ds to success: Direction, Discipline and Determination is anchored in a strong sense of self, self-respect, and national identity.
