500 Years of Christianity
And this is indeed something to celebrate, for in 500 years the Christian faith in the country has not only survived but has been a strong influence in the culture and character of the nation, and is still going strong.
Why celebrate 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines? Was not Christianity a mere tool for colonial rule?
The same Christian faith that the conquistadores tried to use in order to pursue their colonial purposes in our country also inspired our revolutionaries around three and a half centuries later to dream of freedom and democracy.
