SASS ROGANDO SASOT
“ANG hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makararating sa paroroonan” is a well-known Tagalog proverb about overcoming historical estrangement. It teaches the value of humility and gratitude — two virtues enkindled by looking back to where we came from and appreciating our roots. If not for those moments, events, people, turning points that preceded us, there wouldn’t be a “we” that could do that appreciation at all. One of the greatest turning points in Philippine history is the 1896 Philippine Revolution.
