Ang vlog post nga ini sang isa ka “historical vlogger” natuhoy sa history kuno sang aton banwa, wala sing kamatuoran.
Ang exoskeleton sang kasag ukon ang alokaba sini, wala nangin mode of currency sang anay settlement sang Bobog ukon Banate.
In fact, wala sang recorded data in any place in the Philippines nga nagagamit sang alokaba sang kasag para sa pagbakal ukon pag-barter. Cowry shells siguro may ara sa iban nga lugar, pero ang kasag, wala.
Ang Banate suno sa nagkalain-lain nga sources angay sang Monografias, isa ka fishing town kag sadto man may ara sang local piña textile industry sang tiempo Español.
Ang kasag, lately lang ina ginpili bilang kabahon sang “one town, one product” sang DTI. Paano nga gin-connect mo ina sa history sang Banate sang 1700s?
This is alarming kay kadamo na sang naga-share, and when these pieces of information are accepted by the masses, they become Gospel truths para sa iban, kag in the end, mabudlay na i-correct.
Kadamo sang parts sang history sang Banate nga worth it i-share kag i-publish, nag-fabricate guid kamo sang mga information nga indi gani ma-substantiate sang any written document.
This is not the first time this has happened, in fact, a few months ago, another page also posted this misleading “historical” data.
Fortunately, one of our local and reputable historians who has done much research regarding our town approached our municipal mayor, who then apprehended that vlogger who subsequently took down the post and replaced it with other data more accurate regarding our local history and culture.
We already commented our concern in his post but he did not take it down. We are calling on our local government unit especially the cultural and tourism office to intervene and help us in curbing the spread of misinformation about our beloved town of Banate!
