History has been unkind to most Filipinos. Spain made them legally landless and forced their descent to poverty. The United States, after taking over Spain as our new colonial master, preferred to affirm the land title system of Spain instead of returning the land to Filipinos. Worst of all have been Filipino governments from 1946 who inherited lands they called “public” which neither Spain or America paid for. Filipinos who became the new governors of the Philippines forgot their history. Their historical amnesia has perpetuated the greatest crime inflicted to Filipinos – their degradation as dignified human beings to landless wanderers in their own motherland. globalbalita/2014/01/24/climate-change-kills-the-poor-first-montelibano/
