Us Filipinos

As far as i have noticed we Filipinos, given the opportunity would leave this country in order to create new ones in other countries. Who would really blame them? Our country is in constant turmoil although not in a chaotic kind of way but in a corrupted way like our elections where there is constant cheating or buying of votes, from EDSA I to EDSA three. The inequality present between different sectors of our country. Why the rich get richer and the poor poorer. These are but some present problems in our country although some have passed there are new controversies showing themselves everyday. Given these problems can we really blame other Filipinos from leaving our country? I would say no given the opportunity myself i would leave. There is no problem leaving but i myself would go back here as much as i can not just because of my family but because this is my country, my home, there is no other explanation why i would want to go back here. There are other fellow Filipinos that i despise because of their opinions that does not sit well with me like the fact that we have been colonized by the Americans can be clearly seen in these individuals the way that they almost worship products from the United States and seem to lack the nationalism of being Filipinos. They act as if they are elites, they are higher than most people and although they are privileged it does not excuse their behavior of treating other people, especially none English speakers as thrash. There are a few that i know of that act this way, i despise them for that kind of attitude. As a Filipino i am proud to say it even if we have made a lot of mistakes as a nation, no one after all is perfect and we are a young nation that have just acquired their independence, there is a long road ahead of us that would only make us stronger if not wiser for all that we done even with all the mistakes that we have made.
