We use One Country, One Nation for Philippine history.
I am infinitely glad that Jed has his Philippine history and social studies in English. I still have nightmares of my elementary social studies in Filipino, a language that was then as foreign to me as Swahili.
I came from an English-speaking family. Thankfully, I grew to learn and even love Filipino, in my own time. Almost 10 years after I first encountered it. And more than five years after I first started speaking it. For the first two years, I listened but would not speak it, as the teasing and harassing was too much for me.
I would love for Jed to learn to love this language in his own time, too.
