My post to an online forum entitled "If you have the chance, do you want to change your citizenship?" especially in an era where this country is beset by an incompetent presidency (whom I didn't vote anyway).
"I would rather change my perspective as MAHARLIKAN, not disregarding, but transcending beyond that of calling one's self as Filipino.
I have done personal research about it because the mainstream educational system in this country manipulated by oligarchic interest suppresses such knowledge, limiting the Filipino perspective merely in the colonial era because that was where the oligarchs gained their podium, unwittingly reducing instead the Filipino identity as susceptible to colonial mentality and reducing the country to its mediocre, unoriginal cultural state susceptible to oligarchic whims as manifested nowadays, even to the point of subliminally identifying their puppet president as P-NOY who manifested the ineptness, mediocrity associated with it.
The Maharlikan is the true embodiment of FREEDOM and the will to fight for it, and its ancient root is much deeper and more profound than perceiving one's self as Filipino that's traced merely in the colonial era. To be Maharlikan is to change, not just by name, but to bring change from within, awakening the ancient rootedness upon each individual in defining one's self in this part of our Planet."
