Characteristics of Filipinos by Jaslyn C. Bonifacio

  Filipinos are well-known for being brave people. Filipinos are wise thinkers. Filipinos are known as respectful people. The Filipinos are friendly and good in socializing. Filipinos have a big heart, but despite of these good characteristics of Filipinos, "who are really the true Filipinos?"

 "Filipinos are brave." During some centuries invaders colonized our country many brave Filipinos fight for our freedom despite of knowing that their lives are in danger or they might die. They sacrifice their lives in order to have our freedom. Filipinos use their own strength to fight even tho they know that they don't have enough equipment to fight back. The second is "why Filipinos are wise thinkers?" During the Spaniards colonization lots of Filipino think of a wise plan on how we can get our freedom. An example of this Filipino is our very own national hero Dr. Jose Rizal who fight of our freedom through thinking and in writing a novel. To let Filipinos open their eyes and see how Spaniards take control our own country. "The third question is why Filipinos known as respectful people?" Filipinos are respectful by saying "po" and "opo" in talking to elders. We use this kind of language to show respect. The fourth question "why Filipinos are friendly?" Filipinos are friendly because we are used in having friends who accompany us. We feel incomplete without having true friends. And the last question "why Filipinos have a big heart?" Filipinos have a big heart because we accept people who we truly love even if they commit mistakes, and having imperfections. We also have big hearts because we are merciful. We also have pure hearts.

  I can say that I am a true Filipino because these characteristics also describe who I am. I am proud to be a Filipino for having these characteristics in my nature and culture. I want these characteristics of being a Filipino, bear-fruit in me as I carry the nature, culture, and tradition of being a true Filipino.
