		The present ruin of the Philippine economy, and the doormat situation of the Filipino State, ----threatened as it is into becoming a narco-tate---, calls for a solution such as the one recommended even if our politicians may still remain as incurably pro-American at their own risk, of course.

	Colonial Name, Colonial Mentality and Ethnocentrism (PART ONE)
		Among the peoples of Asia and Africa, the nationalism that emerged and developed in the late nineteenth century and in most of the twentieth was a specifically anti—colonial form of nationalism, as the experience of colonial rule helped to create a “national consciousness” and a desire for “independence” or “national liberation”.
		In Spain, the terms criollo, americano, filipino and insulares soon came to have a pejorative ring to them not only because they were associated with the primitive indios but also because the colonies were considered the dumping ground for the misfits and dregs of Spanish society.
		Thus the term Filipino which had begun as a concept with narrow racial application and later developed to delineate an elite group characterized by wealth, education and Spanish culture finally embraced the entire nation and became a means of national identification.
