I Am a Proud Filipino

What comes into your mind when you hear the word nationalism during these times? Well, for me nationalism is the word that expresses my patriotic feelings to my country. And how can I show these feelings these present times? Well, Wearing items which symbolizes the country do count, yet, being proud of your nationality is in the HEART. I’m not trying to sound exaggerated, but, you could really feel it through your mind and spirit that you’re a true-blooded Filipino. Your heart and soul proudly screaming, “I’m a Filipino just like …!”you name it, people who made Philippines and Filipinos once again on the spotlight which is something to be proud of. More often than not, when you’re in a foreign country, your little acts already symbolize the Filipino people, the whole Philippines. It’s a matter of how and what you want Filipinos to be known as by your foreign folks, considerably, you represent the whole nation. And here are some practical ways to show my nationalism to my country. I will support and buy local products. I will support local cultures such as music, arts, dance and literature. I will do something or help for the greater good for mother country. I will love and care for our fellowmen. I will discipline myself and obey the laws. I will speak up and do my best in all!
