Before our generation, the Filipinos used to show their nationalism in wars through fighting and encouraging other Filipinos to stand up for what they believe in, to fight for our national sovereignty. They said they should not be enslaved and abused in their own country. Nationalism played a great role in the thoughts,ideas and the way of thinking of the Filipinos before.
               But the question is, when the wars are over and havoc has left our country, the question is: How or in what way will we show our sense of nationalism in the modern times?

              First of all, what is nationalism? Nationalism is a feeling for our country. Compassion for our fellow Filipinos. Simply the love for our country and its inhabitants. As Filipinos, we have this "feeling" for our nation. And this "feeling" keeps us strong and brave to protect this nation from enemies and colonial governments.

               As Filipino citizens, we can show our sense of nationalism through taking care of the young and being good examples to them. We should treasure and give importance to them for they are the hope of the nation. We should also patronize the products of our own country. We should also buy or be proud of having these products that are made of our fellow Filipinos. Our country is also blessed with scenic spots which we should visit first before going abroad.

               As students, we can show our sense of nationalism by speaking our language whenever possible. We should also master the Filipino grammar as we learn about them in school. We should also be familiar of the Philippine history and be proud of it. We should use the web to show that we are proud of our country even how young we are. Let us imitate janella lelis and take part in showing our nationalism for our country.

               We should be proud for we are Filipinos. We are very blessed for having such a rich and productive country to live in. Some of the things that we have here in the Philippines are: Puerto Princesa Underground River, Pagsanjan Falls, Tarsier, Philippine Eagle, Chocolate Hills and many more. In showing our nationalism, we are one with our country to obtain peace and democracy in the islands of the Philippines.
