I Dream of a Better Philippines

Each and everyone of us knows our country is in crisis. Crisis in the aspects of politics, finances, security defense, human trafficking, exploitations, moral issues in the church and even in our own family, there are crisis everywhere. We face new problems everyday and these branched out into more problems. In the television, we often see bad news. I am asking myself. When will the time comes when the news are mostly about the progress of our country? People are sick and tired of watching flash reports about kidnappings, accidents in the roads, quarrel among politicians, anomalies among local departments, new gimmicks of our president and controversies among artists like the newest scandal of Katrina-Hayden sex scandal. That's why we are not surprised someday if catch a 4 year old boy watching this video in computer. Alarming isn't it? But it's true. The fact that pornography is one of the most alarming crisis world wide not only here in our country.

But who are the people behind of these shameful things? Should we blame the government officials, the leaders of the Church, the artists, the elders or should we blame ourselves? The answer is within us. Somehow we take part of this crisis. In our own little ways, we contributed thourg the widespread of this deadlier virus than AH1N1, virus that root from our hearts. The challenge is very simple. Each and everyone of us must take a step, little by little, to turn our wrongdoings into the benefit of others. We can start this change in by being active in our community activities, supporting the programs of our city, following the rules and regulations in the school, being polite to our teachers, respecting our fellow classmates and having the quality time in our own family! Even in the politics, if they were only willing to listen to each other, I don't think there will be lots of quarreling. They can make many laws, programs and economical plans that will benefit the country. "The change that we want is within us!", said by Pres. Obama, current pres. of USA.

Everyone is familiar with "AKO MISMO" right? This is a small campaign that started by the promotions of well known celebrities. It's not all about dog tags, but it's about the commitment of everyone in showing their nationalism in their own ways. I'm glad they made a program like this. Because a true Filipino knows how to be a good citizen. Maybe if everyone participates in this especially there will be great change. Hey! I'm not saying that there would be abrupt change in everything. I'm saying is if the youth can show it, then there will be a step by step solutions in every problems and questions. It's nice to think that someday we can dream wherein the Philippines belong to the First world countries! Is there anyone who doesn't like that. Of course, all will love that place where respect and harmony is the spirit of each ones heart. Anyone can stand out and make their own legacy to make this country or this world a better place for you and for MeeeeeEEee!
