I'm sorry if you find my post heroic but the only real heroes I know are carved in the coins. I don't want my face circulating, or paid for some stupid stuffs in the streets either. And who told you I'd go to Sabah, why would I go there and in the process protect everyone here? what is there for me to gain? If you find my opinion about Patriotism Dead, go ahead prove me wrong.
walangya, had to google IHOP kalo ko naman related sa Sabah.. u got me there.

It's not so much patriotism, but jingoism. The real inhabitants of Sabah were not crying out for liberation from Malaysia, mind you. Neither were they clamoring to be part of the PH.
It was a sorry band of armed men who were looking for trouble in another land AND FOUND IT. There's little sympathy for that kind of adventurism disguised as a reclamation of sovereignty.
Patriotism is doing what's good for a person's country. Not for the good of a few who style themselves as the "Royal Army" who take it upon themselves to invade another territory, international relations and migrant workers be damned. Ang tagalog nito ay meron lang me gustong idamay ang nakararami sa k*t*rantaduhan na ginawa nila sa ibang bansa para maka dagdag singil sa upa.
That's not patriotism. That's just rent negotiations with the barrel of a gun.Last edited by Altis6453; March 11th, 2013 at 12:30 PM.

March 11th, 2013 12:31 PM #324In any event, as a matter of post-colonial self-determination, the people of Sabah voted overwhelmingly to join Malaysia in a referendum held in 1962, which was organised by the Cobbold Commission.
However, I have greater concern for the Filipino people as a whole. If the Sultanate of Sulu wants P-Noy to support the claim to Sabah, against whatever odds, then the Filipino people, in the majority, must be the ones to demand it. Those who are passionately for the recovery of Sabah must first sell the idea to the majority of the Filipino people. Before anything, Filipinos must decide what they know is theirs, what they feel is theirs, and what they will die for because it is theirs. The Sultanate, if it believes it speaks for the Filipino people, before going for Sabah, should go for the hearts and minds of the Filipino people.
