Medical knowledge in ancient
Egypt had an excellent reputation and rulers of other empires would ask the
Egyptian pharaoh to send them their best physician to treat their loved ones.
Egyptians had some knowledge of human anatomy, even though they never
dissected the body .An example is the classic mummification. They knew how to
insert a long hooked implement through a nostril, breaking the thin bone of
the brain case and remove the brain .Egyptian physicians also were aware of
the importance of the pulse and the connection between pulse and heart. They
developed their theory of “channels” that carried air, water and blood to the
body by observing the River Nile. If the Nile became blocked, crops became
unhealthy. They applied this theory to the body- if a person was unwell, they
would use laxatives to unblock the “channels”.

Excerpt
from Like the Molave
Not you alone , Rizal, O souls
And spirits of the
martyred brave, arise!
Arise and scour the land! Shed once again
Your willing blood! Infuse the vibrant red
Into our thin anemic veins ; until
We pick up your Promethean tools and , strong,
Out of the depthless matrix of your faith
In us , and on the silent cliffs of freedom,
We carve for all time your marmoreal dream!
Until our people , seeing, are become
Like the molave, firm, resilient, staunch.
Rising on the hillside, unafraid,
Strong in its own fibre, yes , like the molave!
-Rafael Zulueta Da Acosta

letter that corresponds to the best answer.
Boys: In our veins, pulse, blood with traces of Chinese
and Spanish and American, but it does
Not stop, being a Filipino, because of these.
Girls:Our culture, is tinged with foreign influences, but
it has become rich thereby.
All: This mingling, in fact could speed us on the road,
to national greatness. Look at America,
It is a great country and yet it is the melting pot of
Italian and German, British and French
Or Irish and Swedish.
Boy:Filipinism , after all ,is in the heart.
All: If that heart beats faster, because the Philippines
is making progress. If it feels ,with compassion because its people are suffering, then it belongs to a true Filipino, and if it throbs, with pride
in our past , if it pulses with awareness of the present, if it beats with a
faith in the future, then we could ask , for nothing more , all other things
are unimportant.
Boys: I have an American first name.
Girls: And I have a Chinese last name.
All:
And I am proud, very, very proud, because underneath these names beats a
Filipino heart.

Excerpt from the
Divine Comedy
And lo! Almost where the ascent began ,
A panther light and swift exceedingly,
Which with a spotted skin was covered o’er!
And never moved she from before my face.
Nay, rather did impede so much my way.
That many times I to return had turned
The time was the beginning of the morning
And up the sun was mounting with those stars
That with him were, what time the Love Divine
At first in motion set those beauteous things;
So were to me occasion of good hope
The variegated skin of that wild beast
The hour of time, and the delicious season
But not so much, that did not give me fear
A lion’s aspect which appeared to me.
