Maharlikan and Freedom

Reposting my post from the facebook page "Change the name 'Philippines' to 'Maharlikan' " (with some revisions):

Kabayan, from my research I discovered that description on Maharlika was written according to Paul Morrow, which runs contradictory to my previous research that Maharlikans were actually "Freemen." The logic that he seem to try to impose was that Maharlikan's were less free citing they had to pay for their own weapons, which is flawed because it only showed that by principle, it proved they were not tied up to the Datus as they provide their weapons independently, and it was only a fitting relation that Datu's pay for their services, and vice versa, exposing that the foreign writer didn't grasp the "utang-na-loob" inherent in our culture. During times of war, it was more an honorable duty for a warrior to fight for his people and his Freedom, it's more profound than "bound to serve" obviously due to his lack of grasp with our culture of "Karangalan," and dismally mimicked it with shallow paradigm on commercialism.

There also seemed a systematic attempt to erase this integral part of our ancient identity as Free People i.e. Maharlikan by whoever these ulterior forces are. Most generations of students today were not even aware of the word "Maharlika" and it showed the mainstream education system of this country is being infiltrated by those who prefer to keep our people merely subservient and hypnotized to inferior colonial mentality.

It was later that I discovered that Maharlikans were also warriors taken from the word MAHARLOKA," meaning GREAT LAND, one of the ancient subcontinent of LEMURIA and the most powerful of them, for it was also a warrior nation, and our archipelago islands were remnants of this Great Nation many, many millennia ago.

The MAHARLIKANS shall once again awaken MAHARLOKA, our GREAT LAND.
