I am a Filipino, a proud one. And you, I suppose, are one too.

I just can’t think why we, Filipinos are not proud of our nationality, our country. Why do we choose other products than ours, because in our mind things made locally are ‘CHEAP’ which is totally not true, we are makers of world-class items. We should be proud of our country. Don’t you know that we, Filipinos, are admired by people around the world? They love the Philippines AND the Filipinos.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing to be ashamed of being a Filipino. Neither our physical traits, nor our characteristics should be ashamed of.

So, how do we show our love to our country? Easy. Simply choose our own products instead of the imported ones. This will also help our country arise in terms of economy. Learn about our country, this will also help you love our country more. We shouldn’t be ashamed of our beloved country.
