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.
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.

I am happy to have read this article especially from a young Filipina. In our day and age when globalization is the reality, the fire of nationalism is slowly dying because of the dominance of the western culture. Reading this article reminds me that there is still hope for the future of the Philippines in the young minds that appreciate our unique and rich heritage. I am proud to be Filipino.

ReplyDeleteIt is good to know that there are still Filipinos believing in our country and not just criticizing its flaws. I hope that other young Filipinos and Filipinas would be inspired to think about how can he or she can contribute to the Filipino nation.
