THE UPSET NATION

            Filipino, Pilipino, Pinay/Pinoy different pronunciation, different numbers of syllables and different spelling but actually  it tells and mean only one; it only describe one nation, one society and it us . We the people of the Philippines. Filipinos are known for being hospitable, kind, industrious, caring and resourceful...good traits, right? Unfortunately our name has been stained by generations stained by our own history leaving an unwanted epithet “Indios” a word who came from the Spaniards to describe as Filipinos as a slave.

            Yes, slave by the other countries… nevertheless this name means nothing it really doesn’t matter anyway especially in this generation. In fact, we have our own maids/and boy in our house to assist us for the works were incapable to do everyday. A set-up who seems Filipinos render to be a better one, there always a poor and a rich but at least we really change positively for ourselves and for our country. However as what I observed at least since the day that I’ve started to be aware in my environment people are craving or dying for just to go to other country. They believe that having a green card or whatever card that tells that you’re out of country; the premonition of the of money/larger amount of money is in their hands. Identifying your own country as place were only 30% chance of economically progress is possible.

            For god sake! Your doorway to richness is not on the “Foreigners” hands. I’m not against your will to help your family for aiming them to have good life either for yourself.

            You don’t want to be labeled as “Indios” right? But because of the unawareness and the hungriness in money. We Filipinos were some what categories still as a slave by “dayuhan” because of our eagerness to go out of this country for money to earn for our family and for ourselves.

            Our government support this kind of set –up that the filipino’s who work on the country either called as Overseas Filipino Worker who sent money in the Philippines from the country because it helps increase our economical status.

            As what the world taugh us every know and then; providing money for yourself and for your  family ,it doesn’t need to be dollars,euro, yen and etc. but rather the PESO itself can provide you a better life. By the help  of yourself : you nevertheless it’s just you who can provide it by hardwork and determination.
