In a rapidly globalising world, it is easy to lose sight of our own identity. We become caught up in the search for material success and forget the things that make us unique.
As a result, we often neglect the values that define us Filipinos. These values include family, faith, and community. We are known for our close-knit families, yet we increasingly live far away from home, pursuing more significant opportunities. Our religious beliefs are a source of strength and guidance, but we often turn to them only in times of difficulty. And while we are renowned for our sense of community, we often fail to support those less fortunate than us.
If we want to preserve our identity, we need to rediscover these values and start living them daily. We can only hope to create a brighter future for ourselves and our country.
