replies: text: Thanks, but it was edited again, without discussing here. --Noypi380 03:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Many errors and inaccuracies.  Discussion first before major edit.  No rush. --Amante de la Paz 12:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What major inaccuracies? what errors? I request the editors to view the history page as off 01:53, 2 August 2006 of Ramirez72. Nevermind, I'll revert it, and there's nothing wrong with it, just being bold! I strongly say that it is better. Thanks. Perhaps, we can vote on it? :) Noypi380 13:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Noypi wrote that Marcos was disbarred.  Is that true?--Amante de la Paz 01:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I wrote that part. The 1935 constitution limits presidents for only two successive 4-year terms. --Howard the Duck 03:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Noypi edited out the Katipunan. Another example of colonial mentality POV.--Amante de la Paz 01:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It is getting long too. But I was afraid I will alienate somebody big time. Any suggestions? --Howard the Duck 09:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Deleted the specifics on Christianity, and the other details. Those should be placed in the main article. Does that solve it? :) --Noypi380 14:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The condensed section is OK for me. --Howard the Duck 03:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Education in the Philippines may have been based on the U.S. curriculum a long time ago, but that's definitely no longer the case. Efficiency is disputed by this document from the Department of Education. --Edward Sandstig 13:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

message: In the French version, Rizal was supposed to have been inspired by Quijote and was considered the D. Quijote of the Philippines and thus executed. Was Rizal inspired by Don Quijote?--Jondel 09:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Where'd they got that? --Howard the Duck 13:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know. Who knows what they are saying in other language versions. Maybe in Asian history books in France, this is how Rizal is protrayed.--Jondel 09:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Rizal did travel alot in Europe, so he should be more than aware of the european literature, and was perhaps inspired by such. Dunno how to verify that though --Noypi380 11:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of transportation in the Philippines.  What about the airport in Manila?  Who flies there?  What about Philippines Airlines.  I thing there needs to be some links
