[Gabbie EVHS Aguinaldo]

This book was an amazing way of finding information about the history of the Philippines. I learned many political events and the leaders that led these events. I enjoyed reading about the dictatorship of many of the Filipinos. I feel that as a Filipina myself I learned more about my country reading this book. I can tell why the Filipinos take pride of where they came from.
