ON BOHOL CHURCHES Ambeth Ocampo: I understand the loss, but should we even try to rebuild or replicate a 17th-century church, or should Bohol build new churches that reflect our time—the 21st century? This is one time where we look at history and ask ourselves if we want to remain in the past, or move on. The people of Bohol built those churches centuries ago without modern equipment; surely today’s people ofBohol can rebuild from the ruins, and we should let them decide what they want to do after their physical and emotional losses are healed. Fabian thePagan: I have reservation this comes from Ambeth Ocampo who is a historian, and a religious at that. Its often said that the Philippines handicap is a lack of sense of history compared to India and China or Japan, which countries build on their history to propel their modern society. Now that this question arise and we let go of our heritage.
