Try to imagine, that your
grandchildren can´t speak with you in your language......
Learn your family the
language of the roots, so your family - children can speak their
language from childhood!
Learn your family the
culture of the roots, so your family understand and respect the roots e.g.
Mano Po!

The walls of
Manila were built in the
early 16th century and
rebuilt over three
centuries. It delimited the
shape of the city, wider on
the South and shortened on
the North, where the fort of
Santiago and the Pasig River
were. It remained intact
during several assaults from
the English and Chinese
pirates, but it was
parcially destroyed during
the shellings of World War
II, leaving an empty shell
until the mid sixties.
Nowadays there're still
remains left from which was
the magnificent wall from
the Pearl of the Orient.

Cuyo Fort •
Cuyo, Palawan
Cuyo was strategically
located between the islands of Panay and the
Palawan main land. The island served as a
stepping stone that linked Palawan with the
Visayas and Luzon. Cuyo’s strategic position
within a transportation and trade route made
it imperative that it be fortified.

Loboc Fort •
Loboc, Bohol
From 1565 to 1898, fortifications large and
small, varied in design and purpose were built to protect the
Spanish colony, the Philippines. Fortifications, known as fuerza or
fuerte were bastioned fortifications. Those known as baluarte,
torre, bantayan or tanawan were watchtowers that surveyed the land
and the surrounding seas. These towers, too numerous to count,
served as a warning system to signal the approach of hostile
vessels. Together the bastioned fort and watchtower contributed to
the sense of safety of the local inhabitants. Guardians of peace and
stability the fortifications built the safe space where communities
could strive forward.
