I have visited schools there before during my many visits.
Regarding the very aware all i`d say is i`ve never had to explain who Hitler is and what he did to the world. Or who his allies were during the 2nd World war, inc Japan. Something im sure Filipinos are aware of. I visited Bataan on one trip and saw the monument there.
Heroes, regarding the many heroes days and holidays there.
They`re heroes because they were brave and helped they`re country to acheive the status it has now.
They`re looked up to as a sign of hope for the common person.
Like Manny.
and whats wrong with looking for a little sign of hope in manny, he brings so much pride to our country. but it is not only manny.. theres benigno aquino, and theres heroes that are not seen in the news, in the form of working class people who works hard everyday to give their kids a better future.

and maybe the schools you have visited are not up to standards, my niece goes to montessori, she is only 2 but she speaks english has learnt good manners if i had a choice my son would go to university back home.
