She gave us an essay question for our finals and when i got back my papers i found a big red notation on it saying: "Who are you? are you an expert? you should not say "I THINK". The essay question? Who should be the national hero, Rizal or Bonifacio. <br /><br />By hindsight, i guess she was just one more overworked teacher who just wanted to give an X or a tick mark and not have to read what a 17 y.o. was thinking... <br /><br />So it's quite refreshing to hear a history teacher urging you to think outside the box and IMAGINE what a piece of data might actually mean and go beyond dry facts to find the heart of the issue. And YES! I also attend Prof. Ocampo's lectures and buy his books. I wish that more young people can attend his lectures.moninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278298.post-65076339444050527362010-10-21T07:16:42.774+08:002010-10-21T07:16:42.774+08:00Haha..

I've also encountered some of the critics of the great professor and yes one of them is actually a man from NHI and the rest are from the country's "premier" university...and like you my reaction is the same..well, all i know is I've learned,remembered and now appreciate our history better/ more from him and his books than all the REQUIRED textbooks from A (agoncillo) to Z (zaide) combined.oh and btw, actually some of them even attend his lectures..talk about hypocrites!^_*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278298.post-12177087678683428562010-10-21T05:58:39.568+08:002010-10-21T05:58:39.568+08:00Zarah, have you been to Dapitan?
