An Article that Makes Filipinos Proud

June 17, 2008 · Posted in Mike's Blog 

I have Spanish blood flowing in my veins but I never feel proud telling people about that. Rather, I always feel proud telling them that I’m Filipino. Many have urged me to work abroad but I love my country so much that I choose to stay in the Philippines even though the salary is lower than what I would be getting if I worked abroad. I think many Filipinos share the same feeling. It is however the Filipinos abroad who make the world know how important we Filipinos we are.

I was given notice by Yahoo Messenger of an article in Arab News and upon reading it, I felt even prouder. The article entitled “Imagine a world without Filipinos” speaks about how an Arab businessman closed his business when the Filipinos that worked for him chose to leave. “When they left, I felt as if I had lost my arms. I was so sad that I lost my appetite,” he said. To cope up for his loss, he flew over to Manila to look for Filipinos who would be willing to work for him.

I think we Filipinos are a strong driving force in the economy of this world but let us not be lofty about that. After all, we Filipinos are known for our “humble” ways.

Mabuhay ang Filipinos!!!
