A little OT, but you do realize how Filipinos like you were Hindu-Buddhist before and converted to Christianity through colonial rule, right? It wasn't exactly peaceful so you're essentially promoting ideals of people who pillaged your nation.

Actually, the Philippines would have become a Muslim nation just like its two nearest countries in the south if the Spaniards did not come to colonize it. Imagine, if the Spaniards and other European colonizers did not colonize much of the Americas, you would still probably be following antideluvian practices and speaking indigenous languages by now. Or there would have not been any whites and blacks there, just natives. Colonization had its positives and negatives. Many native people were killed in the process and the colonized land was greatly exploited but in turn, improvements to industry, education, government systems, and even culture and religion, were brought upon the land and its people.
