Philippines my Philippines...

I love my motherland, This is the place I grew up in, and this is the place I would like to die... but what is happening to my beloved country? We must leave the Philippines in order to survive, Filipinos taking odd jobs just to feed their families. During the 60's and early 70's the Philippines is a progressive country, other Asian countries dreamed of coming to the Philippines to find a better life here.

Maybe it's time to have a change, we are living in this kind of condition for decades now. What I think Filipino's lack, is the true love of our country. We have this hard wired inside of us the "Kanya -Kanya'' System'' meaning as long as I'm ok, I don't care for the others well- being. When can we expect a change? maybe not in our lifetime?, is there still hope?.

What it takes to be a Filipino?

Are you one of the millions that stands proud when Manny Paquiao lands punches and knocks out his opponent? Or reacted with anger when Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin said that he wanted more children and wanted to have a Filipino mail to order bride? But who are we Filipinos?
I am a Filipino,I grew up in a small town, studied and graduated ,working hard, but still deprived of a decent life. I am unheard of, no one represents me. Like all of us Filipinos, wanting to have a better life. But how can we change things, when our own country denies us of our dignity.

How about the future generation ? Dr. Rizal said that the youth is the hope of our future? What is the real image of our children?

Approximately 3 million Filipino children go hungry everyday,how can they be leaders in the future if they are denied of basic needs such as food ,shelter and a quality education. But who truly runs the Philippines? Controlled by the rich and few influential families, hungry for power and wealth.
