As they say, there's no place like home. As someone who has never lived somewhere other than their native country, I am unable to confirm or refute this assertion. I can also imagine myself living in different nations as a result of this.

It is a good thing that patriotism is taught in children from an early age, because children are the future of any country, and if they love it, they will seek to improve it. Patriotism is not about humiliating other countries or ethnic groups; it is about a natural love and respect for one's own country, and everyone should have this attitude if he wants his country to grow and be respected.

For example, around 600-700 years ago, the Mangyan people lived near the coast of Mindoro Island. They are thought to have arrived from the archipelago's southern reaches. More hostile groups gradually pushed them to flee their coastal settlements. The Mangyan people appear to have a reputation for not being warlike, preferring to give up territory without a struggle.

Mangyan refers to the eight indigenous tribes that live on Mindoro Island, each with its own culture and language, and whose people work mostly in agriculture, hunting and gathering, and wage labor. The Iraya, for example, are a poor and socially disadvantaged tribe whose way of life has been severely altered since being displaced from their original homeland.
