Appreciation of the story:

In the Filipino when the colonizer’s went to the Philippine. Filipino’s were prohibited for so many things in the Spanish regime from learning or speaking Spanish language. They don’t have a freedom and lastly, they need to pay taxes or else they well died nor punished .In the American regime the students in those times is really fine in terms of communicating in the English language in all of their subjects. The Thomasites teaches their students to engage the English language than to learn more about their native language or dialect. All of those colonizer’s have a good influence to each Filipino’s .The Filipino are known as the ordinary English speakers we are good speakers than Americans .The tourist destination here in Philippines are more because of the Spanish priest that forced to make a church then to influence the people of the Philippine to engage their religion. The Philippine known for the tourist that one of their destination to go because of the old infrastructure.
