I was never a patriotic one, in fact Im guilty of voicing out my pseudo expert opinion once or twice, but moving overseas has made me rethink my perspective about my own country. In an international community where hardly anyone cares about the Philippines, I find myself blowing our trumpet even more just to prove that we too, have a voice. Its disappointing to see Filipinos slamming and shaming our government publicly for the whole world to see. Instead of showing everyone the spirit of bayanihan, we take to social media and feed the world with what they already think of us: that our poor third world country has nothing but corrupt and inept government officials and that basically, thats how it will always be. There are always three sides to a story. In this case, its the governments, medias, and the truth. Before making a claim about something, think about how much you truly know about the current situation from all the different angles. Criticise if you must, but do it behind closed doors. And when you decide to point your finger at the government, remember that you have three fingers pointing back at yourself. What are you doing in light of all this?
