Philippine History and Me

Growing up with a complete background on Philippine history has motivated me to become a good citizen of this country. The tremendous impact of my insights since I was a young child can be manifested in my day to day interaction with the surroundings. Examples of such include following road signs, respecting the elderly and studying hard for excellence. Aside from that, my complete understanding of who we were before drew my heart to love this archipelago even more. I have never been proud and gallant towards what most countries term as the "Sick Man of Asia". I believe we can prove them wrong. To top the list, I have been enticed to become active in our local community. Understanding the legal terms and conditions of being a citizen has caused me to be concerned of the people around me. I have proven that we are to help one another just like how we Filipinos worked hand in hand in the olden times. The teachings from our history has told me that we Filipinos don't settle for anything less by nature. A small act can go as far as a big movement like the domino effect. A little effort wouldn't hurt as long as it is for the country. Most people despise their nationality. But as a Filipino, I am very proud that I can lift my head up high.
