La toute première flamme de voyage dans mon jeune esprit a été déclenchée par des manuels. Mon premier désir intense d’aller dans des endroits a été allumé par Hekasi – Heograpiya, Kasaysayan à Sibika (géographie, histoire et civique). À l’école primaire, j’étais tellement fasciné par les photos des lieux historiques. Je me suis émerveillé de la vie de personnalités célèbres et d’événements importants qui ont façonné l’histoire.
Maintenant que je suis un blogueur de voyage, il y a toujours un sentiment d’épanouissement chaque fois que je mets les pieds dans un endroit qui a été présenté dans mes livres d’histoire élémentaire. Bien que cela puisse sembler privilégié, le voyage est un grand professeur d’histoire, et cela ravive les leçons sur le passé que nous avons appris lorsque nous étions des enfants et ceux que nous devons réapprendre aujourd’hui.
Si vous êtes un passionné d’histoire et que vous essayez de trouver des endroits aux Philippines pour rayer votre liste de voyages, voici une liste mettant en vedette certains des sites monumentaux du pays.
