Just look at the countries: Germany, USSR, Korea, and Singapore. However, this system also means violence and war, since this government encourages aggression, and in the Philippines, an authoritarian alternative is not sustainable enough since no one would want to repeat Marcos’ Martial Law all over again; it would not be of help in our current state, and no one would like to have their rights be taken away.

  • Music In The Philippine Culture

    2047 Words  | 9 Pages

    The Philippines has always had a rich musical history. It takes its roots from the indigenous tribes of the Philippines, who used it as a way to pass on epics and stories about gods and heroes, a way to celebrate good harvests, festivals, weddings and births, a way to mourn the dead, to court women, and a way to praise the gods. This music was then enriched by the Philippines’ western colonizers. The Spaniards imparted the zarzuela (called sarswela in the Philippines) and the rondalla, adding more Spanish touches to Filipino folk songs. The Americans, on the other hand, influenced the Philippine music scene by introducing pop and rock, eventually leading to the creation of “Pinoy pop”, which included a wide variety of forms like dance tunes, ballads, rock n’ roll, disco, jazz, and rap.
