Philippines is our culture

The name Philippines is embedded deeply in our rich culture. Getting rid of Philippines will erase it.

That is silly. Changing the name of our country will not erase our “rich” culture. The name “Philippines” would just be in the past.

Remember that we has a developing and thriving “rich” culture of our own long before the Spanish set foot on our soil. Many people mistakenly associate the landing of the Spanish with a birth of culture. That is far from true. We just bought into the lies that we were just uncivilized savages.
