I can still remember watching ABS-CBN's show "Noypi: Ikaw ba to?" 2 weeks ago. The episode then was all about being a Makabayan of the Filipinos. Makabayan, a simple yet such a strong word with a very important meaning.
It's hard to see that most Filipinos still doesn't know how to respect their National Flag, Memorize the lyrics of its National Anthem, and yet they still call themselves as a Makabayan, and this was shown on the said program. What struck me the most is even I are one of those people.
All I thought was confessing only that you love your country will now make you as a Makabayan, but I'm completely wrong, the show had opened my eyes on the reality of why our country is still under the category of being one of the 3rd world countries. I admit that I'm not proud to be a Filipino then because of the current instabilities of the country, but hey! I think its time for others to wake up on this sad reality...
I have listed down here some oif the points we should remember and how we will make ourselves proud of being a Filipino;
1) Love your self.
2) Be proud of what the country can offer to the people as well as to other nations.
3) Buy Filipino / Support the products of the country
4) Be a tourist at your own country, the Philippines have more than 7,100 tourist destinations you can go to.
5) If you want change, then go ahead start it first from yourself.
