in all my travels, i have heard every conceivable negative remarks about the philippines & filipinos. as a filipino by birth, admittedly i am offended even though it's the truth. but instead of mindlessly being hurt, i took this up as a challenge & began my "conquest for greatness". by embracing the truth & doing away with traditional ineffective cultural beliefs, i survived the modern world & i'm proud to say that i am a world-class filipino citizen!

so fellow filipinos, leave your denial stage & embrace what is real. face the challenge rather than being bitter about the truth that we filipinos must rise up. if you don't want other nations to look down on you, then don't give them a reason to do so.
