Filipinos today are somehow unpredictable. Why? Of course were not god to predict what they can or will do that somehow can dress the country to shame. But as you can see, we, Filipinos can do everything now, thanks to our ancestors who successfully put outd our country, but sadly some are abusing or overusing the gifts we received from our ancestors.Feeling free and can do everything, Filipinos somehow became spoiled, that they only think and do things for theirselves, never for the country. Some says that allthe Filipinos who work abroad are considered as Filipino patriots. Lets see. Why do you think some Filipinos went to other countries just to work? Is it for our country? Or is it because of our country? Many worker s reasons are that they need to realise higher amount of money everyday to sustain their and their family needs that they have to sacrifice their lives for their family.Its rightfully for their family not for the country, yes they are heroes heroes of their have family. You see, nowadays, youll never hear these sentence anymore oh, I went to other countries for our own country. Its just a sad thing that we make ourselves believe that when we work abroad we business leader be already a Filipino patriot, but the real thing is, we are leaving our country behind, we never know that maybe someone out there needs us so sad that when we cooperate with them to contribute in raising our countrys economy.And have you ever noticed that some people, permanently leave this country after they earned enough money, and the worst, others, denies or are ashamed of their nationality. A Filipino in new York posted this, Deep down inside every Filipino knows that there is a sense of patriotism so on to erupt. But now is not the time. Theres no sense of showing Filipino pride when we have a government as lame as this. Nakakahiya pa nga minsan eh. And another Filipino posted this, After the September 11 tragedy, youll see people have on American Flag shirts, cars have American Flags hanging out, American tickers being given away free everywhere, and what not. Wow, do *I* have one on my car. well yes, because I live in U. S. soil and Im a Fil-Am.. but.. wait Deep inside me Im even so a proud Filipino, I will stand behind my country till the end, and it hurts because it looks like no one else besides me thinks Philippines have a chance. Its a sad thing hearing or reading posts like this. Is Filipino patriotism, really dying? How rough the youth? Wouldnt they do anything about it? Who is responsible enough to guide and pursue youth to do anything for our country?
