May 23, 2022   •   Kyzia Maramara

Jose Rizal himself said it: “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.” But in order for the kids of the next generation to make our nation great in the future, they have to be knowledgeable of our past. It’s a good thing there are a number of resources these days where parents, kids, and even adults can easily read up on Philippine history. Publishing company Adarna Books has a number of children’s books that explains important points in history — the Philippine revolution, martial law — to make it easily understandable for children of all ages. There is truth in “starting them early,” we have to educate our kids before pinning our hopes on them. Here are just some of the titles you can stock up on:
