“Tatag ng Wikang
Filipino
Lakas ng Pagka-Pilipino”
The
Philippines is our country and our home… our only home. Over populated, polluted,
corrupted government, these are some of the negative supplications of people
when they are inquired to describe the Philippines. You must try to see our
country beyond the pollution, the traffic, the corruption, the crimes, and the
calamities for these are just isolated cases. But out of this economic problem
that our country is facing, there are still wide clean area that offers the
benefit. There are still a lot of Filipino Festivities that one can enjoy,
Filipino Values that you can learn and strengthen and a lot of beautiful places
where you can travel.
Travel
has become the great Filipino dream. Even if a Filipino has just arrived in a
foreign land, he/she can always identify a fellow Filipino. Traditions and
cultures have been modified, sometimes forgotten. In spite of the extensive
changes, we must not forget our roots, our beginnings. We may modify, but we
must not erase the essence of things because these are the things that give us
our identity. Neither distance, time nor culture can impede a Filipino from
knowing a fellow countryman. We, Filipinos, are known for our loving ways. We show
our love through various ways and simple styles. The Filipinos in general are
polite and hospitable.
Yes! The
Philippines is worth seeing and Filipinos are worth knowing. There are imperfections
but the fact remains that our country is unique. So before you start dreaming
of visiting or living in another country why not see first all that you can see
in the Philippines. You might just realize that it is worth staying here after
all.
