While the Tagalog masterpiece, Balagtas’s Florante at Laura, should undoubtedly still be taught in the way it is currently being taught, during the junior and senior years in high school Rizal’s novels—texts that together constitute the de facto national narrative, the Philippines’s own “national myth,” as it were—should now begin to be read, appreciated, and understood in the Philippines’s many native languages, which are the languages Filipino students are naturally most at home in.

Science and Technology are now the universal mantras for progress and, of course, it is difficult to argue against the success of countries like the United States and Japan, and now the emergent China — they have attained such power and prosperity because they excel in science and technology.
