@Joseph20102011@nick_adobo Ok at least ur not hypocritical, cuz it's another thing for someone to show me a display of Filipino culture and tell me it's all thanks to Spain and not because of our ability to create which is what I was replying to in the first place not your advocacy for the Spanish language
@Joseph20102011@nick_adobo I want to ask you personally, because there are so many Spanish learning institutes in the Philippines. Instituto Cervantes also has a reach here so what have you done to personally immerse yourself in the Spanish language?
@Joseph20102011@nick_adobo This again, I did not say learning Spanish is the same as desiring to become a Spaniard. Reading comprehension is the problem.
@Joseph20102011@nick_adobo this again since when did I mention your interest in learning Spanish? is this engagement bait? we truly are in an education crisis because I couldn't be more clear when I said there's wanting to learn spanish, vs. wanting to become a spaniard
@Joseph20102011@nick_adobo I didn't say anything abt wanting to learn Spanish what I was calling out were Filipinos who revise our history and culture and desire to be spaniard or latino, if u wanna learn Spanish then go for it but our identity remains rooted within this archipelago.
@nick_adobo@Joseph20102011 What even is the obssession with becoming Spanish? The statistics at the time even said the vast majority were indios. And yeah, public education became mandatory but how does that make us have spanish ancestry? English is the language of education now, are we now British ๐ฌ๐ง?
@nick_adobo@Joseph20102011 I said the Timorese don't claim to be Portuguese, just bc they're many groups united by Portugal, more catholic, and speak Portuguese. They're proud of their identity. I did not ask for a comparison of money and national dishes (which are all of native origin btw!)
@TomeGtu@ax10zx I assumed that, as someone who sympathises with national liberation movements like Palestine, you'd look up to Timorese sovereignty and their struggle but all u do is disregard their identity as long as it benefits you in a twitter argument.
