The film “Ganito Kami Noon,

Paano Kayo Ngayon?” directed
by Eddie Romero was
a brilliant masterpiece ahead of
its time. It depicts how Filipinos
struggled to find their
own identity during the
transition between the Spanish
and American colonization of
the
Philippine islands. The film was
able to address social issues
existing at the time like the
abuse and the maltreatment of
Filipinos by the Spaniards, lack
of proper education of
Filipinos living in barrios and
provinces, and also the struggle
to find the own of identity
of the Filipino people.
At most parts of the film, there
is a big confusion in the true
identity of Filipinos.
The main lead of the film,
Nicolas Ocampo, also known as
Kulas, had many encounters
with the different definitions by
different persons of the word
“Filipino”. Kulas was able
to meet people with different
personalities during his journey
to the unknown after the
death of his mother. At the first
part of the film, Father Gil
Corcuera defined the word
“Filipino” as the Spaniards
living in the Philippines. Also,
Lim, who is a Chinese
merchant,
also identify Filipinos as the
Spaniards living here in the
country. But for Don Tibor,
Filipinos are those who are
ready to take responsibilities.
All of these encounters made
Kulas realize the true meaning
of being a Filipino. Kulas came
up with the realization that
being born in the Philippines is
not enough to be called a
Filipino, being a Filipino means

The exact identity of Filipinos is largely unclear for the majority of the film. The
film's main character, Nicolas Ocampo, also known as Kulas, frequently
encountered instances where the term "Filipino" was defined differently by
different people. During his voyage into the unknown following the loss of his
mother, Kulas had the opportunity to meet people with a variety of characteristics.
Father Gil Corcuera defined "Filipinos" as Spaniards who reside in the Philippines
in the opening segment of the movie. Furthermore, Lim, a Chinese businessman,
claims that Filipinos are the Spanish residents of this nation. Don Tibor, however,
believes that responsible Filipinos are those. These interactions all helped Kulas
