What Pinoys Can Learn from American Patriotism

4. They’ll stay, no matter what happens.

“Wala nang pag-asa dito, migrate na lang ako sa [insert country here].” is our favorite line when things get really bad. Perseverance ain’t our middle name.

3. They know why they’re proud to be Americans

Their formula for explaining is this: Adjective + Historical Evidence = Pride, Compassion + 9/11 = Unity. They can objectively tell you what makes them a proud American, and boy, their history is really interesting. Meanwhile, 34.4% Filipinos are still arguing that the Marcos era makes up the Filipino pride, or so they say. Dig deeper, and you’ll find lots of reasons to be a proud Filipino.

2. They always have films about America’s history.

God Bless Daniel Day Lewis’ depiction as Lincoln. But seriously, we barely have any decent (and historically accurate) films dedicated to our rich Philippine history. Ours are few and far between. Let’s all thank Raymond Red for Sakay and Jerrold Tarog for Heneral Luna, and for convincing the Filipino people that we need more quality films about our past.

1. The 4th of July is actually a big deal for them.

Fireworks, BBQs, and parties in all states! Meanwhile, some of us are still busy debating whether it’s really June 12 or July 4. For some, our independence day is just a passing day to get over with. In the first place, why care about it? It’s because [tries to remember Araling Panlipunan].

 

Well, what does it be mean to be a Filipino to begin with? Thoughts? Post the in the comments.
