16. Filipinos who showed love for our country Sen. Benigno ” Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. Mas mamatamisin ko pang mamatay nanakatayo na taglay ko ang karangalan kaysa mabuhay na nakaluhod sa kahihiyan . Sapagkay mas mabuti pang mamatay sa kalayaan kaysa mabuhay akong nakatiklop-tuhod . Akoy naniniwala na ang mabuhay nang kahit isang araw lamang sa pagtatanggol ng kalayaan ay higit na makabuluhan kaysa mabuhay ng may sandaang taon sakbibi ng pagkatakot o di kaya’y paglilingkod ng kalupitan .

17. How are we going to show our love for our country “The Philippines does not need love. It needs respect . And it does not need this respect to come from the outside, it needs it to come from within from Filipinos themselves. Whereas Filipinos raise stink after stink about perceived insults from foreigners, we fail to see the gross disrespect Filipinos themselves reserve for their own country. Filipinos treat their land like a vast garbage dump, routinely fail to be considerate of their neighbors, produce the shoddy and mediocre products that have turned “Made in the Philippines” into an indictment, and consistently elect idiots and crooks to run their government. Has there been a foreign entity that has shown more disrespect to the Philippines than Filipinos themselves?

18. How are we going to show our love for our country “The Philippines will prosper only when Filipinos gain a bit of self-respect “ ____ when we respect our own laws, when we respect the people who purchase our products, when we respect the people whose lives are affected by the leaders we elect, when we respect our environment and appreciate how easily it could make or break us, and when we respect our own individual abilities to determine our own respective futures.

19. How are we going to show our love for our country Recently another threat to the sovereignty of the Philippines has emerged with China defying International maritime laws by claiming all of the South China Sea including Scarborough Shoals, which are obviously within the jurisdiction of our country. Enraged Filipinos launched massive protests before Chinese embassies in various parts of the world, while our government has filed multiple diplomatic protest against the usurper.

20. How are we going to show our love for our country •At this tumultuous moment in history, the call for true patriot s is being sounded all across the land. The need to rise up and defend the country is being raised to an alarming level. •Filipinos both men and women, are now being challenged to respond to the demand of the times. We must all do our part. Defending our country is God’s will, for this the only way we got, the only one there will ever be.
