| University Athletic Association of the Philippines? Really? |
1) You often assume that only citizens in Metro Manila count as Filipinos, whether you are aware of it or not.
I think we all know that Metro Manila is the center of, and the busiest place in the Philippines, but what about Cebu? Davao? CDO? Baguio? Those places are always left behind in terms of development, and the rest of the country is so underdeveloped ...
 |
| Everyone prefers Nike or any other imported shoe over local ones nowadays. |
2) You always prefer anything made from the other countries instead of anything made from the Philippines.
Whether it be clothes, shoes, movies, TV shows, bags, food products, beauty products, and even our everyday language, we always have the feeling that whatever we are or have sucks compared to everybody else's.
 |
| Excuse me, I hope you're not forgetting the reason why you are wearing that uniform in this area ... |
3) You spend more time, money, and energy on your cellphones, DOTA heroes, and Facebook accounts instead of schoolwork and office matters.
You have to wonder if Filipinos nowadays are really so devoted to technology that they would trade their entire lives for a day of unlimited call-and-text to everyone they ever met ...
 |
| Hey, the tune is so catchy, and I love the color orange. I should vote him! |
4) You base your electoral vote on the surname, gimmick, campaign color, hand gesture, endorsers, and campaign jingles of candidates instead of their reputations and abilities.
Does the phrase "Vote Wisely" or "Maging matalino sa pagboto" even appeal to the voters? Because if not, then it is probably best if we have Charter Change ...
 |
| Too familiar? Should we blame every single leader that we ourselves chose? |
5) You blame the government for every miserable thing in your life, no matter who is in power.
And the sad irony is, we are the ones who placed these people, who chose the other people, into their current positions. Shouldn't we blame ourselves then? Because if we did not, we are all hypocrites.
 |
| Nice outfit. I hope the term actually means something very important. |
6) You try to create your very own dictionary by creating and adding the “cool” factor to slang terms such as jologs, chuva chenes, and jejemon.
I do not know if it is boredom or the feeling of inferiority that makes these people create these terms, but I am sure that whatever they are trying to accomplish, these are not really doing any good for the reputation of our country.
 |
| Is this the best you can do? Is this even what you really wanted? |
7) You consider careers that would give you lots of money and abuse instead of those that would help the development of your country.
"Eto kasi yung uso ngayon eh. Saka malaki ang kita ng pera". Are we willing to sell basically our lives for big paychecks, immense homesickness, and occasional abuse from foreigners (frequently, for others)? No wonder that Hong Kong reporter called the Philippines "a nation of servants".
 |
| Are we talking about the same God here? If so, why is everyone claiming to be the chosen messenger of God? |
8) You are either a land lord, drug lord, gambling lord, crime lord, political lord, or a religious lord.
Basically, whether we want to admit it or not, our country is run and influenced by a handful of individuals. Some are good influences, some are bad influences, and some are simply horrible human beings. Hey, the world would be boring if everyone was the same, right? Still, that doesn't mean we have to pretend or be bad ...
 |
| Sigh ... I hope you finally learn that your lives still mean more than anything ... |
9) You will rather stay behind with your material possessions instead of saving your lives when natural disasters are quickly approaching.
I do not understand why. Is it because a lot of Filipinos are so poor or so pessimistic about their chances to move out of poverty that they would rather go down with their properties than come out of a landslide or volcanic eruption broke but alive?
 |
| Does this still mean something to you? |
10) You simply care about yourself instead of yourself, your fellow Filipinos, and your country, the Philippines.
I guess a lot of students/professionals want to have fun now with their friends rather than have fun now with their friends and do the best they can at their workplaces not only to improve themselves, but their country as well. Remember, great things start from small beginnings.
ANO? PILIPINO KA BA?
