Even if our country is identified as an independent country, we are not really free from colonization. The subjugation of the colonial powers established cultures that are still present until today. An example for this is our language, our fashion, and many more.

no i wouldnt say so because the lasting and long term effects of colonization are still present today. Imperial countries still have great power over different aspects of life like imports, trades, the economy, laws, and even how we think. Our beliefs and opinions are still shaped by colonization from the past and it has been incredibly normalized that it will forever be a part of society today

# data[].attributes.body
No, since we still depend on different countries on military aid and, etc. There are different types of colonization, it doesn't mean it has to be physical, from our countries's name to words from Spain. It can also be financial, such as needing money for military use.

# data[].attributes.body
While we may be free from the colonization of lands by other nations, I do believe that we are not free from colonization. This is because even if we do not notice, we are slowly influenced by the cultures of other places and regions and we change our views based on if we agree or disagree with them. Because of this, we may reject our own culture because of the culture of others which we choose to represent instead of our own. This could also be applied in things like business, where the ones that arrive first tend to get most profit out of their environment and drown out other opposing businesses.

the fact that studies still use this word in modern papers is pretty much a staple on why we aren't free. If the word is still usable to describe the present, we're never free.

# data[].attributes.body
No because we live based on how other countries do, our own products and even our language are being forgotten and disregarded because of the influence of different countries. Although there's no one thats physically present in the country, colonial mentality exists in our country.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I believe we are never free from colonization because of colonial mentality. Colonial mentality is a belief or mentality that makes you retain, or refer colonial influences rather than your own. This can be seen in the Philippines, with some Filipinos still having Spanish or American influences.

# data[].attributes.body
in my opinion, yes because i think that somehow, we are colonialized through media, our lifestyle is deeply influenced by foreign countries. our industry is also all about mostly international brands

# data[].attributes.body
As a citizen of this country, even tho we may seem like were an independent country we still aren't free from the colonization due to the influences of several countries that has colonized us for years. And we also have some called colonial mind where we think the products from foreign countries are better

# data[].attributes.body
As a Lasallian i believe that No, we are not free from colonization because our traditions, language and food are all still influenced by other countries like spain and our own original traditions and language is being forgotten and its fading from our country.

No, I don't think that we are not entirely free from colonization. Colonization are shown in economic areas like dept dependency, trade imbalances, and the exploitation of our natural resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Absolutely Not. Though we are free from the direct colonization we experienced in the past, the effects and influence of our colonizers and even other countries are still affecting us to this day. Our culture and even our mindsets are still affected from the past of colonism, especially in regards to our preference of imported products and even the internet, socially and economically, we are still not fully free.

# data[].attributes.body
While being aware of colonization and how they affected the country and its people educates a Lasallian, it reminds them of the values of social justice and services to community. However, despite the political independence in a number of countries, they are still grappling with legacies of foreign domination. Thus, we need to engage both with these communities as well as be advocates for the decolonization process as part of our Lasallian mission as an international school community familial sense of partnership and solidarity.

# data[].attributes.body
In my calculations and observation as a lassalian and we as a class i have noticed that our country is not yet free from colonization and our country may be not free but we are one union and we are independent in our own way.

# data[].attributes.body
In my perspective and experience I don't think we are still free from colonization. The reason is despite every nation has the right to be independent there is still some control between the foreign countries and the weak countries which has term called neocolonialism. Despite this method being different than classic colonization, it still benefits the foreign country and it makes the weak country dependent and controlled.

# data[].attributes.body
We are still dependent because we still rather use the recourses of other countries

# data[].attributes.body
From what I have observed as a Filipino, the Philippines is still not totally free from colonization. Although our country is already independent and free from direct control from another country, indirect colonization or neocolonialism is still present. Many Filipinos are still influenced by countries such as America and we depend and rely on them until today.

# data[].attributes.body
no becase despite being free from direct colonization, we are still being indirectly colonized through being influenced from the culture of other countries. This can be seen from what we wear, our different technologies, our language, our food, and more.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I dont think so 🙂. Colonization is inevitable

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that even if economically, we are free from colonization and is an independent country, we aren’t really free from it because their influences have continued to linger within our beliefs and is what started our culture until now.

# data[].attributes.body
For me I think that we are not yet free from colonization because, some other countries are still trying to colonize us and the other countries.

# data[].attributes.body
In my perspectve i think philippines/ us are not free from colonization, despite countries giving us army aid and military resources we are still in the chance of being invaded by china

# data[].attributes.headline
 No because we still practice many traditions of other countries' cultures. We also use languages such as English because of the American influence. Our language's origin also comes from Spanish words.

No because we sill depend on US and other country on our economic needs, military, and many more

Even though our country has its own government and democracy, we are technically under neocolonialism. Because of international brands and the use of most brands, but at the same time our own culture is being forgotten and being foreshadowed by international brands.

# data[].attributes.body
No. We have to keep in mind that neocolonialism is still colonization. USA is heavy on indirect colonialism; even in the Philippines, English had become the 2nd most spoken language. People will then preference western brands, follow their beauty standards, and various more examples. Philippines is not the only subject of this, also various more countries.

# data[].attributes.body
no because anyone could colonize us in their own free will and with their own reason.

# data[].attributes.body
Well I must say me personally for 50/50 because we are medyo but not so much. We are colonized indirectly by the culture exchange from other countries like Neocolonialism. But no so much because we're free. 🦅🦅

we will never be free from colonialism if we let other countries make decisions for our own country

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think we are free from colonization due to things like foreign influence and also colonial mentality.

# data[].attributes.body
No because even though we gain our own indepndence with our own country, we are still influenced by the effects of colonization for example using imported products rather than local products and many more.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because effects of previous colonization are still showing.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I believe that we are not free from colonization as, yes, we are not being colonized at the moment, we still experience the effects of this. This resulted in colonial mentality; the act of being more keen on the culture of other countries instead of your own. This may lead to the slow fading or corruption of one's culture. Colonialism may be direct and indirect. I believe that this is indirect

Since we were colonised before, it had deeply affected the new generations as they are influenced with the other countries culture such as the trending things today are most likely from the USA, the trending foods are from Korea and many more. (di po racist)

I would say that no, we will never be fully free from colonization due to biases rooted into our nature and in our genetics. Colonization has caused us to adapt and internalize certain biases and likings for certain things, not only that but we are never fully Filipino. There is always at least a quarter of us that is another ethnicity. So no, I do not believe we are ever free from colonization.

# data[].attributes.body
We're never free from colonization because we our country grew with the influence of others, and so we never really get rid of it from our lives. We always consume products and services that originate from other countries, and because of this import/export relationship, we get controlled by other countries through our economy, money, and products. We're never free from colonialism because the way we act, speak, dress, eat, and even think is as effect or influence of other countries. We will never be free from colonialism because we never refuse from the things they give/take from us.

# data[].attributes.body
No we aren't free from colonization. Why? Because in the present we still do the influences of the countries that colonized us. Such as the spaniards, they shared christianity to us and it is still ongoing in our country. We also had technologies coming from Americans, Japanese, and many more.

# data[].attributes.body
Though the concept of colonialism is no longer normalized in the global community through territorial and political domination, especially through forceful means, colonialism still exists through domination over economies. This includes, for example, the wide consumption of American products as opposed to thos of filipino local products. This also applie to culural domination today.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe we're not free from colonization, since many countries were influenced by their colonizers, changing and destroying their culture which had long lasting effects until today. There are also countries under the rule of others, like some US states, and also many countries being in debt of others.

# data[].attributes.body
No we are not free because some world class countries still want to influence more parts of the world. In turn this makes it hard for smaller countries to move/make their own decisions. In short we would never be free from colonization because future generations will still have forms colonial mentality.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because we are still influenced by the countries that colonized us (US, Japan, Spain.)

# data[].attributes.body
No because even though we are a democratic country we are still affected and influenced by the countries that colonized us. An example is colonial mentality, preferring imported products rather than locally made products in the Philippines

# data[].attributes.body
No, we are not and we will not be free from colonization. The presence of individuals who strive to dominate nations and flourish the growth of their wealth will always be present. Even though the Philippines is independent in some aspects, colonialism is still present since our government tends to rely on the approval or decisions of external nations.

# data[].attributes.body
Well no, Colonization had affected cultures and their people's lives in the worst and best. The lingering influence of colonization after it was discontinued after the devastating world wars still found away to survive by abusing countries by economic means than conflict means, many examples are from China taking advantage of Asian and African countries who owe China money.

# data[].attributes.body
No because we are not

# data[].attributes.body
We are not free from colonialism due to neocolonialism which is the indirect control of a more powerful country to a weaker one.

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of influences is still present in the Philippines so we are in a way indirectly colonized.

# data[].attributes.body
I don;t think that we are free from colonialism because over time we encounter different conflicts with other countries like with China over the west philippine sea. If we are truly free from colonialism, we wouldn't be influenced by the things we see around us like social media or stores because that is also known as neocolionalism (since we are being influenced by other countries) - Mielle

No, the Philippines is not entirely free from colonization. Despite achieving political independence, it still experiences economic dependency and cultural influence from former colonial powers like the United States and Spain.

# data[].attributes.body
My answer to the question is a big no. Up untill now, many factors of colonialism still exist in our country and these may be observed everywhere on a daily basis. Although they may not be similar to the past and are less revolting, these powerful countries still find some way to control our economy or bring cultural influence. For instance, the mere fact that the Philippines ranked 4th among countries for the most amount of people subscribed to streaming services can already be seen as a form of Neocolonialism since its existence have made Filipinos to switch from local streaming services to these big tech corporations. So to summarize my answer, no we are not free from colonization because of things like social media that brings cultural influence and big corporations that dominate local companies.
