John Arcilla shed light on the importance of history after a Pinoy Big Brother housemate mistakenly called the Filipino martyr priests Gomburza as MaJoHa.

In an April 13 interview, Arcilla detailed how history plays a vital role in people’s lives.

“Grabe. Napakalaking bagay ng history sa buhay ng tao. Kahit anong nasyon pinahahalagahan ‘yan.

“Kasi sa kasaysayan natin malalaman kung sino ka at saan ka dapat pupunta bilang tao o bilang Pilipino. Ang pagtingin sa nakaraan ay importante para sa mga aral na hindi mo na dapat pagdaanan pa.”

Arcilla shared with the younger generation–the lessons he learned while he was a student.

“Pinakapaborito kong subject ng elementary ay ang Rizal. Pakiramdam ko ang Rizal subject ang naging core ng pagkatao ko at pagka-Pilipino. ‘Yung selfless love at pagmamahal sa pamilya, kapatid, kababayan at bansa.

“Sa Rizal ko din natutuhan ‘yung pagpapahalaga sa mga bagay na pinaghirapan ng mga magulang kahit ano pa ang halaga… ‘yung kwento tungkol sa barong na sinamay. At ‘yung importansiya ng pagmamahal sa ibang tao kahit hindi mo kilala,” he said.

On April 12, Robi Domingo shared how disappointed he is with the Philippine education system.

The #MaJoHa controversy sparked when Pinoy Big Brother teen housemates Kai Espenido and Gabb Skribikin were asked a question regarding the Filipino martyr priests Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora.

“Sina Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora ay mas kilala bilang?” Domingo asked.

“MaJoHa,” they answered.
