Being a Filipino in the eyes of a Foreigner

What has happened to the Philippines?
For several decades ago, our country has been the richest Asian country. We have been standing with our heads high and we are brave enough to conquer the world. it is a fact, we are the only Catholic dominant country in asia. We are the one's who are supposed to be going to mass every Sunday but what has happened?

For the longest period, I have observed the great abundance of Filipinos who don't know how to love their country. We have been using our country to start and finish off our journey in other. Slowly Filipinos have been slipping away from our country and never to be seen again.

We have viewed our country as a nuisance to our existence, a shame to our being but how do we really know who our  country is? It is only in the eys of the outsiders that we can truly see what we are missing.

I have watched through Facebook and video of a korean national essay about the Filipinos. It greatly touched me and strike me to the point of crying. How can I be so naive.... how can WE be so NAIVE? Our being a Catholic is senselesss. Who are we to judge our GOD when we are not even desiring a change in ourselves? Who are we to say that the politicians are cruel wehn we have been more cruel to our country than them for continuously leaving our country for that comforts of America, Paris and other countries? how can we not see the deteriorating essence of our country?

Foreigners have judge us more than we can take. We have been hurt to the point of being ashamed of being a Filipino. After all, who wants to be called as "the race of maids?" NOBODY! Therefore, we resort to abandoning our mother land. Little did we know, that we are more than what a few foreigners say we are; that we are far more appreciated than we knew. Who would have thought that we were once envied. I wouldn't believe it myself probably, if I hadn't seen this. This is a video of an essay made by a Korean National.
