Most Filipino unPatriotic and anti-nationalists



Sad to say, my country's road to destruction continues. Selling the islands to China, not modernizing the military, stagnant economy and the poor deprived of free education. Here's the thing though. Where are the people deemed as nationalists? You can't see their faces on mainstream media. You can't guess if they are authentic or paid by corrupt politicians. Yes. Corrupt politicians. When you want to retain the uneducated people to barrios, you know what it means. They say the Philippines should be a liberal democracy but it doesn't work on a country that lacks discipline. People that would say these things are being cut off by the mainstream media as hillarious or absurd.

But you can see on Facebook pages about the truth or in the internet what truly happened and what is the obvious lie we weren't shown.

It is like you were promised liberalization of the economy in exchange for your beliefs. What happens next is when you have the economic "gains", you would be charged with a lot of obvious fees that make your nationalistic feeling gone, in exchange for money. 

With that said, Filipinos today replace their nationalist identity for fake economic promises, fame and anything else while displaying fake pride for the country.  That's the truth. When I was in the Philippines, I craved to watch Independence Day celebrations because it displays our heritage as Filipinos and that we are the most patriotic country in Asia. Many people around that time craved to see it as an act of true nationalism and patriotism.

Nowadays, people doesn't care about June 12. They care it is a holiday because they won't work or don't hve classes. Let's face it. Few people like me would show a hint of frustratiom when we see our country in shackles. It's sickening politicians fight among themselves than helping each other to modernize the country. The last time someone attempted to modernize the country is during Ferdinand Marcos's rule as president. Ever since, the oligarchs came back, destroying what Ferdy brought and the discipline and nationalist identity died with him.

People from my homeland wants to get out of the sinking ship than to hold on to broken promises. One of them is me, whom retains some love for my homeland as a nationalist but would not go back their unless everything would have a radical change for the good.
