I Am A Filipino Blogger
We are free men, these are our unalienable rights as human beings, as Filipinos. Even before the constitution, this was true and it will continue to be so even after I die — after we all die. We are our own stewards of freedom, and as Filipinos we are the rightful owners of this land we call The Philippines. Let not one person deny our freedom, let not one group deny our voice, let not one government deny us our rights — we are the government…
You may see injustice, but where there is injustice, there is a choice — for you to help, for you to take action, and for you to reach out. Injustice is the boy who has to beg for food in the sidewalks of Manila, injustice is the man who is shot in the streets of Cebu, injustice is the mother who cries for her son who is dead, injustice is this nation who has lost her own sons.
Sons of peace, may you rest. My dear brother Ninoy, may you rest. My dear brother Jose, may you rest. I will take on your cross, I will take on your mission, because we are brothers, and you are my strength.
But our Philippines is still here. We are but travelers and we pass on by. This Pearl of the Orient will still be. And the gifts of our culture is what unites us. I see no division, do you? Are we not human beings first, before we are rich or poor? Are we not Filipinos first, before we are politicians? Are we not fathers, mothers, sons and daughters… are we not family first, before we are strangers?
I know you, because I feel your pain. Your pain of nothingness, the pain of emptiness, the pain of loss, the pain of poverty, the pain of injustice.. This is my pain too.
I will help the only way I know how, and this is to write for those who cannot, this is to speak for those who cannot… I blog for peace and I blog for love. I blog amidst the chaos that is overpowering.
But may the light of justice… forever shine.. Because I am Filipino, I blog for our nation and I blog for you.
Hanga ako sayo sa passion mo at ang pagka vibrant mo, when you write.
I hope that we can all take the same kind of passion as we head towards elections.
hello ..did you earned money………ahm i want to be a Filipino blogger to earned money but i didn’t know where is the company where i apply for application form
hello ..did you earned money………ahm i want to be a Filipino blogger to earned money but i didn’t know where is the company where i apply for application form — Speaking of ousting the topic to oblivion.
Anyway, I admire you being patriotic and all. I really do, but reality sometimes bites us in the ass and we never knew what hit us until its too late. Have you ever thought what people on position are doing? They are molesting people like you (err.. like us i guess). Small people are trampled from their rights and what is worse, people who are suppose to be defending those rights are the very people abusing it.
I just hope that what those heroes had done will not go in vain.
please don’t take this personally..
“hello ..did you earned money………ahm i want to be a Filipino blogger to earned money but i didn’t know where is the company where i apply for application form”
i’d like to quote the message, not the one who wrote the message.
the message would have been better (grammatically, at least) if it had been written this way:
hello ..did you EARN money………ahm i want to be a Filipino blogger to EARN money but i didn’t know where TO APPLY (though i believe this could have been constructed in a much more, say ahm.. appropriate manner)
i’m not criticizing the way you phrased your message..yeah, sure nobody’s perfect…everyone commits mistakes (that includes making grammatical ones) it’s just that i was quite disturbed with what you wrote. you may think that i’m just a meticulous somebody who just happened to visit this site and boom found your message, and decided to make a fuss out of it. but nah, i have deeper reasons.
you see, trying so hard to use the language that we were not accustomed to speaking is one of the problems some of us face. we try so hard to speak english even though we don’t sound good anymore. if we are having difficulties in using a foreign language, why use it? what’s the purpose of doing that, anyway?
(to sound sosyal?)
so kung nahihirapan man tayong mg-ingles wag na nating pilitin ang mga sarili nating mg-ingles. mg-tagalog, bisaya, ilokano, ilonggo, waray, chavacano, o kung ano pa man tayo. kung hindi na man tayo nahihirapan, eh di good for us!
There are a lot of Filipino’s who want to start blogging just like me..
