In reply to Sari Aya Malaya. Sang-ayon ako sa paksang heritage ng kultura, which is often discarded sa migration sa U.S. Maganda ang migrasyon dahil sa ekonomiya, nguni't that can be done without forgetting one's roots. Fortunately, there are many kababayans who bring what they've gained (disaster relief donations, education, etc.) from the U.S. to improve our country sa RP. We need more of those people.

Marcial, I was referring to that American born Pinoy who endeavoured for his Filipino citizenship at his own expense. He could have easily given up and forgotten his heritage if he cared less. Yet he chose to be counted and be heard like a true Filipino. Such was a noble act of Patriotism. It is quite a shame to realize that most Filipinos I knew would kill and die for American citizenship, tainted and westernized. Intentionally became oblivious of their own culture, language, values and heritage until they eventually became apathetic of their duties to the society who nurtured them.

Sari, my friend, I appreciate your comments. However, I'm a little confused about when you described the "man, who had his easy way of becoming UnFilipino." Please clarify, so that I may respond accordingly.

This is, by far, the most engaging and inspiring article I have ever read about the People Power of EDSA. It moves me to a deeper feeling of Patriotism and Pride. Though, we can't change who we are, we can definitely do something on who and what we will become. We just need to ACT and be the inspiration and influence to others.

Let us all be dynamic and persevering in impacting change and greatness in our land. If one man, who had his easy way of becoming UnFilipino , endeavored to acquire Filipino citizenship and relentlessly reminding how equipped and capable we are in improving our lives and that of others, so could we. To bring about change to our lives and country is not a choice, it is more of our responsibility to our past and obligation to our future.
