Our home may be imperfect, but it is OUR home. Our country maybe filthy, but boy is it filthy beautiful. It is a country where holdapers, bag- slashers, snatchers, swindlers, pimps, prostitutes, jueteng/sakla operators thrives. It is a country with more paradox and contradiction than any thesaurus can muster. It is a country of kind, respectful, friendly, loving and creative people who can laugh even when tragedy befalls them. It’s so exhilarating unique. It’s the one place where you can be the real you. It feels good to be near. It feels home.

Like what I said in my post... crab mentality? That's hardly a Filipino monopoly.
I'm not saying we should condone it but we shouldn't punish ourselves for having it.
"Our home may be imperfect, but it is OUR home."
apparently jude cross doesn't think so.
I agree with Miguel 100%!!!
i am a victim of crab mentality in a corp world. lost my chance of getting the job i want because of a jealous crab.
To clarify my statement, my point is that since Filipinos find success worldwide, the potential for out greatness is there. All we need is the proper support and development.
Thanks for supporting the meme Mike. Our little declaration of support is very timely. The elections have finished and Independence Day is just around the corner.
Thanks for the link love! :)
I'm absolutely proud to be Pinoy, no matter what. :)
On the contrary, many scholars believe the Philippines is just the right place for shipping, natural resources esp fisheries etc.
Too bad foreigners already dominate these domains.
Nabuking naman ako doon sa pagbibigay ko ng mababaw na sagot. hehehe
Ang galing ng Pinoy napaka'talented talaga sa lahat ng bagay.
