Enlightened every Filipino for the importance of discipline, nationalism and responsibilities.

By Aaron Testado

    Philippines is composed of three foreign culture that help them enrich. How can we use these cultures to develop our country.

    The Philippines  in the past was beautiful, rich and famous. It was the first republic to flourish in the Southeast Asia. We know the standing of our country today… Poverty, unemployment, energy problem,financial crisis, corruption and so on. A sense of responsibility is one of the most important needs in our country today because without it government will be powerless and there will be no country. However most of Filipino has this but many hard headed government officials don't have this, they are corrupt and coward. Education is needed to promote social capability to fight corruption both in the rural and urban parts of this country. People need to know that their votes are priceless and can affects their daily lives. People need to know that government officials are our servant and not our masters. People must be educate without blindness of the law, they need to learn that law are free and for every one. We must know how things are going on inside our government system, we citizens are part of this country we hold the future. No one is holding the future of this country, not even the rich people but us Filipino. 

      We must develop discipline it make our country to nourished and enable us to be organized. It can make our economy and communication to be develop faster. It enables us to show to the world that we are great country with great people. The saddest part is most of Filipino don't have discipline… Did you saw EDSA? The busiest highway in the metro manila. You can see buses and jeepneys changing lane side by side as if they own the road. Driving in the Philippines is a headache it feels like a battle whose living and whose not. Pedestrian are crossing streets of manila like their living room. Motorist don't stop on pedestrian lane if there are pedestrian crossing the road. Our way of urbanization is mess and we need to clean up that mess. Garbage are every where, our street  stinks and social services are poor. Markets are every where all under and all over… Why? You can see market under the bridge, riverbanks, flyover and overpass. Its truly only here in the Philippines.

    We truly don't understand  how to be disciplined we are mad if someone promoting disciplinary ideas on our street like our MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando. If we will act like this we will not have a better country and economy. Many country in Asia imported their cultures, like Japan imported culture from China and Singapore from Malaysia. These are poor country before but now they are no non-sense, their country is booming and economy is excellent. Although they imported their cultures from another country they learned how to furnished these cultures for their own advantage.

     Nationalism is important because without Nationalism we cannot furnished and developed our own culture and identity. We must developed our own technology, use our own linguistics, Invest in our country, use our own alphabet, buy our own products, love our own design and the most of all love what we are and what we do for the country. We should pay correct taxes, if you are a government official you should do what you should do. Be a dreamer that has a better vision for the future. Lawmaker must passed a good laws for providing social services, protecting natural environment and funds for research to find energy sources for our country. These are strategic advancement if we want to have a better and strong economy. Rebels and partisans must put down their belief and weapons to move forward for our own economic development. On the other hand government should promote better access for education, health, develop more jobs by boosting investment for industry, look for better market for our product, stop borrowing money and start paying debts. People should watch and be attentive on meetings, hearings, know what you should know, stop selling votes and be patriotic.

    Businessman, nobles and elite should put their money on charities, foundation, investments and develop a top to bottom economy. What is truly happening now is different ,rich people are getting more richer and poor people are getting more poorer. Elites must share their income to the poor people of our country they should be the one pushing for the government to increase wages of their employee, businessman should give proper medical and other benefits of their people. Judiciary system must be follow sue all law violators especially those committing plunder and corruption.

     Lastly we will be a better country that has a good economy if we will help each other to achieve what we want. Trust in our government, Elect better government officials, promote fair judicial system, promote nationalism, develop discipline, obey laws and most of all promote unity and reconciliation.
