I am a FILIPINO
February 25, 2010I am a FILIPINO and I love my country.
I couldn’t be happier and contented seeing my beloved country get up from the morass of poverty and corruption and be a great nation again.
I wish I had the strength of Samson so I can fight corruption in the government myself. I wish I had the temerity of Gandhi and the unwavering faith of Mother Theresa so can I can change the Philippines the way our forefathers wanted it to be.
But having no voice for the authorities to heed what I’ve been shouting for doesn’t stop me from dreaming a better future for the Philippines. Because I believe that one who doesn’t have a vision is like a bird flying in the firmament who flies for the sake of flying, who flies because he has wings, he doesn’t care where his wings take him even if it takes him to danger or death. For a man without a vision is a man living a life without meaning and purpose, hence, an unhappy man.
I have a vision. A great country where its cultural, social and national identity are preserved while maintaining a good governance of the people, for the people and by the people where poverty and graft and corruption are the things of the past and the people enjoys their freedom in a just and humane society.
