HAND SALUTE :uthere:

[moneywhiz]

nope!! the way things are going in the philippines today, i have nothing to be proud of. You can call me kill joy.

i understand your reason but to further use a signature with an american flag is only showing your colonial mentality......

you have to be thankful for not being born in other authoritarian/dictatorship-led countries like Mynmar, North korea, iraq and afghanistan to name a few.....their citizens cant even practice freedom of religion or freedom of speech....imagine not being able to go to church or read a credible non-partisan newspaper......at least,you have internet access and for that you have to be grateful

"Magpasalamat ka at pilipino ka dahil kung sa Africa or other poorer nation ka ipinanganak, baka gutom na gutom at payat na payat ka ngayon"

having a flag displayed on your car is a shallow way to define patriotism.

IMO it's a small thing that you can do to show that you are proud to be of your country .. some choose to buy local products .. some choose to stay in the country .. some choose to run for public office .. and some choose to display their flag .. nothing wrong with it .. they're all ripples in water .. some big .. some small .. but all making an impact ..

Some OFW I met got phil. Flag on their rides... Ok lang naman being Identified by fellow pinoys...sometimes sa mga mall parking lot I can see a lot of them....they even greet you like this "kumusta Kabayan"

May mga nag papabili pa nga sakin!! meron ba sa national book store yung sticker type pwede sa windshield

i agree. you can expand it some more: show you love your country by not giving bribes, following traffic rules, paying the right taxes, etc.

This I noticed... bakit parang ang daling sabihin na 'Proud Pinoy', when one is working / staying / living abroad? Like, is it a contradition, being a proud pinoy, but not being in one's country, and getting the benefits of another country? :question:

precisely, this is my point, bro!

That's beside the point. and, its none of your concern! i respect your opinion and YOU SHOULD RESPECT MINE! THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY.

[Bogeyman]

Why not? I may not be proud of certain people whom I share this country with, but I am still proud of this country, for what it has endured in history.

If you're no longer proud of your country, then what's the point in staying, right? Go ahead, the door's open. Just don't let it hit you on your way out.

[conzky]

What im saying is, im entitled to my opinion. And im asking you to respect mine the way i respect yours. Im not proud of this country anymore, i have no choice but to stay. Is there any problem with that?

I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write. -- Voltaire

You are no longer proud of your country but have no choice but to stay. That sucks. I'm glad I don't feel that way.

Even though I don't agree with your opinion, I respect the freedom that allows you to state it ..

no problem with me

however you might consider that as much as you have the right to hold and state your opinion about the country you live in, the people around you have as much right to state their opinion or reaction to what you say. they also have the right to tell you what they think of your opinion, regardless of whether it's something you want to hear or not.

all i'm saying is, it goes both ways

[nemo's friend]

agree with MB4 ... forums like tsikot allows us to share our views. not everything comes back as you please to read, but most folks here keep their cooler heads ... bawal pikon 'baga

for your post comment ko lang, it's a choice.

tsaka kaya madami pinoy sa labas ng PHI, kasi ang pinoy magagaling --- kahit saan sa mundo pwede mag-work :-)

If offered US or Canadian visas for free, ilan kaya dun sa mga nagpost na "I'm proud to be a filipino" ang magre-refuse?

[woulfe27]

"Magpasalamat ka at pilipino ka dahil kung sa Africa or other poorer nation ka ipinanganak, baka gutom na gutom at payat na payat ka ngayon"

so we should be thankful kase mas maraming naghihirap kesa mga pinoys? what kind of logic is that? parang sinabi na"pasalamat ka at milyun milyon lang kung mangurakot politicians sa pinas. sa sri lanka, bilyon bilyon ninananakaw nila."

Honga!Good question, bro.

[kimpOy]

im proud to be a filipino...
BUT given a chance to earn a living somewhere i'll take the chance.
even if my citizenship would change, im still pinoy by blood and by heart.

malay mo after 25 years (asa pa pero atleast there's hope) the philippines would be a tiger nation once again...atleast im not the one eating my words

Ibig sabihin ba, yung mga overseas tsikoteers dito eh hindi proud sa pagiging Pinoy, dahil lang ba sa wala sila dito sa Pilipinas?

Hindi komo wala ka na sa bansa mo eh ikinahihiya mo na ito. Sure, maraming mga Pinoy ngayon ang nasa ibang bansa. But they're doing their part for the Philippines by remitting much-needed dollars. And besides, kung naipagmamalaki pa nila ang pagiging Pilipino nila, at nagagampanan ang mga magagandang kaugalian ng Pilipino kahit nasa ibang lupain sila, then so much the better.

kabayan sa likod mo ako,tama ka dyan-di komo na sa labas ang iba natin kababayan eh di na natin mahal ang inang bayan,bawat pilipino na uma-alis ay may kanya-kanyang reason,ngunit di ngangahulugan na di mo mahal ang pilipinas-yan ay hinihingi ng pagkakataon na pangsamantala mong umalis at iwan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay dahil kailangan.matagal-tagal narin ako d2 sa abroad pero kailan man at kahit minsan di ko ikina-ila na pilipino ako,'yun ang nanalaytay sa dugo ko. Wika nga eh "There's no place like home" :cool:
