Is there still hope for the Philippines?
Poverty, greed, inequality..the list is endless, we could all talk for hours or type for hours about it, but everyday, when we step out of our doorsteps all of those hit us in the face. But i am not a pessimist. I have high hopes for this country that one day we will try to rise from the mud and make ourselves stand to its own feet. Nobody would dare to laugh at us again by other nations invented name tags on our country such as the land of indolent people, land of helpers, land of slaves and many more name calling that are truly far from reality. the tragic death of those tourists in the manila hostage taking had brought us in the international limelight again. the shameful response of our authority caused much hatred from our neighbor country china. We cannot help but just to accept their negative comments making our ears open for their obnoxious remarks. There would be revenge and clash back but i remain optimistic that sooner or later, the two would make appease and eventually heal its wounds. Let bygones be bygones as the old cliche goes. But i hope this bad dream wont happen again. I just hope also that our people will not be forgetful about that fateful day of sept 27 2009 wherein hundreds of people were drowned caused by bagyong ondoy. a lesson learned is to be caring to its environment. let there be no waste in our sorroundings although this is close to impossible. Let everybody has it own good caused for the benefit of mankind.
Is there still hope for this country? A big YES.
I think what everyone needs is opportunity.
The government needs our cooperation.
A non-governmental organization wants our supports.
A poor needs an opportunity to get a job to provide something for himself and his family.
For every person, faith in God.
