Who we are, We are Filipino by Jewelle Kim M. del Rosario


Filipino are like robots, you can easily control them. It's like they don't have anything to choose from. They seems to be a lost puppy in the middle of the city. They just follow the things that are already planned or prepared for them. Is that how we want to live? Is that worth our lives? Then if not, who do you think we are?

Filipino possesses crab mentality, is it because we ate a lot of crabs? Of course not, right? Then why do we keep on pulling each other down if we can help each other to be on top. Filipino are always late because of the so called "Filipino Time" , is it because we have different time with other country? Well it's quite right but we can always be on time. We do know that the faster we do our things, the faster we can rest. Filipino have this unique ability, we can understand each other through signals but we're overusing it. We have this attitude that even if we're not yet allowed to cross the road, we still cross it then raise our hands like we are hypnotizing the person to stop. Filipino are courteous people that even we are oppressed, we still don't forget to respect others. We're too respectful that I don't know if we're being dumb or something. Filipino are so industrious, that's the reason why there's a lot of countries hire Filipino workers. Filipino are weird in a way especially when we are directing places. There's still a lot more to know about us.


Overall, Filipino are too blinded on how others treat them but being Filipino, we still manage to be polite and respectful. Filipino are great pretenders. We still smile, laugh and manage to be happy even we have a lot of problems to think about. Filipino may not be rich or popular country but at least being in the Philippines makes us happy. Always think that it's not our loss if others think that we're nothing, it's their loss for they don't take time to get to know us. So be proud of who we are, We are Filipino!
