To my kababayans out there, Happy Independence Day to you guys.
I just wonder if do you still believe in the spirit of independence? Are we really free, this time? Or are we again enslaved by our own whims of corruption and other evil things?
Because when I look at our National Flag, I can't help but remember the blood that our heroes spilled just to get our freedom and independence. However, when I look at the real scenarios nowadays, I really feel sad.
Yet I want to do something that would uplift the spirit of Pinoy Nationalism. I'm still not certain how to do it right now but I'll get to think of it soon. It;s like I want to tell the world that Philippines is like this, that we are not like that. Because really, there are so many prejudices to the Filipino race, and we want to disprove them, right?
So, how about you guys? What do you think?
I also welcome comments from other people who are not Filipinos.

Its been today that Independence day for the Filipino people has come. Maybe we should think of greater responsibilities to take care that independence.
I think we are responsible for every little thing that could make or break our independence.
Are you registered yet? The best thing we could do is to vote for the right candidate this 2010 elections. 
Mabuhay!

Happy Independence Day too!!!
But I think we are not really free. It's like were trapped in poverty and corruption. And many of our countrymen suffer from different problems and situations. It's just so sad that most of us just don't give importance to what our heroes did for our country's freedom.
Well, let's just pray for something good to happen to our country so that each one of us will be proud to be a Filipino!!!
Happy my lotting to you!
One thing would be to vote for the deserving candidate this coming 2010 elections.
Nonetheless, I am still proud to be a Filipino.
