Gising Juan! (english)

"If there is a Facebook page of the Philippines or the Philippine Government, I think Jose Rizal would never press the "Like" button in it, he would not even want to view it."

We often hear and see on our TV's even on our surroundings everyday, our fellow Filipino's shouting joyfully and "proudly" saying "I am proud to be Pinoy".

Reasons:
              a Filipino boxer won an international fight and received a Champions Belt, and is ready to enjoy his reward money with his family, and should be already are planned to have many projects to earn more money in Show business.
              a Filipino singer has been chosen to sing a foreign country's National Anthem, and will probably be enjoying the high rated talent fee.
              a Filipino Team of buffed bodied men won a sports competition abroad, and will probably have many endorsement, which means more money, by the time they come home.


Of course!, Yes! I do, also, think that those things are worthy to be proud of. But have you tried being proud of yourself? Have you tried to do something for the country, even small things, that made you say "I am proud of myself", and that, my friend,  is the right moment, for you, to tell  the whole world "I am proud to be Filipino."

Put first priority your country and your countrymen. Who in real life is suffering and is not enjoying the privileges those people we see on TV, Billboards and Lifestyle Magazines are having. They who are on top of the living lifestyle of our country who manipulates everyone below them and are sucking every penny in our pockets using the government as their dog to do whatever they want to obtain more riches from us. They even use the media, the TV stations that they own. The actors that you patronize, who actually do not care a bit for their fans. Singers that you are willing to fall in line just to buy their albums, that have meaningless songs and trash lyrics.


Come to think of it sometimes. How many thousands or even millions are you who spend for those things?
And still you are "Proud to be Pinoy?", proud slaves most likely..

Gising Juan!

Malimit nating nakikita, naririnig, napapanood sa TV maging sa ating paligid araw-araw, ang mga kababayan nating nagsisigawan sa tuwa at saya. Nagsasabing "I am proud to be Pinoy".

Dahil:
          nanalo ang isang boksidor sa ibang bansa.
          pinakanta ang isang singer sa isang malaking okasyon sa ibang bansa.
          nagkamit ng korona ang isang magandang pilipina sa isang kompetesyon ng ganda at talino sa ibang bansa.
          nanalo kuponan ng bansa sa isang pandaigdigang tagisan sa isports.


Sabagay, nakakaproud nga naman talaga. Pero nasubukan nyo nabang maging proud sa sarili nyo? Yun bang nasabi nyo sa sarili nyong "Proud akong maging ako!" at saka mo dugtungan ng "at Pinlipino ako!".

Alam mo ba kung paano mo masasabi ang mga katagang yan ng may kumpyansa at taas noo?
Unahin mong mahalin at hangaan ang bayan at kababayan mo. Ang bayan mo na sa totoong buhay ay naghihirap, sa likod ng mga plastik na bungisngis at tawa ng mga artista na minamahal mo, na tinatamasa ang masarap na buhay dahil sa pag-iidolo mo sa kanila at nang napakaraming gaya mo! na gumagastos ng pamasahe kada may mallshows, bumibili ng mga albums na me mga kantang wlang kwenta ang mga liriko.

Isipin mo nga, kung ilang libo o milyon kayong nahuhumaling sa mga yan, at na gumagastos ng libo-libo. Siguro nakuha mo na ang punto ko, Pilipino.
