The name is "Filipino"! Our race is something to be proud of. A true Filipino can still walk with his head held up high without denouncing the Filipino blood flowing through his veins.
Our country may have currently been experiencing all kinds of trials, hardships and crises. There is greed for power, greed for money, selfish personal motives of high-ranking officials who think only of themselves while the rest of the nation is in deep poverty.
Yes, we can never deny the fact that our country has been put to shame by no other than the leaders of our land - feeding the people with lies, deceit and endless promises. These, however, are not enough reasons for being ashamed to be called a Filipino.
As I see the Philippine flag, I cannot help but look back and recall what our forefathers have done in order to defend our nation, our heritage, our independence. I guess, it is the best option that each Filipino has at the moment - whenever we feel dismayed or ashamed of what the current leaders are doing to our motherland, - think back; think of the times when our heroes fought for our beloved country. I believe that by doing so, we can still find it in our hearts to be proud of being called a "Filipino".
