I am so proud that I am a Filipino. I don't mind the things that I've heard from other people because the only thing that matters to me the way I handle myself. I've never been to a lot of places in the Philippines but it's nice to see the pictures of some tourist spots. If only I have a lot of money, I will travel first my country. I was lucky that I was able to stay in some places of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. I was born in Mindanao and studied their until High School. I studied College Visayas specifically in Cebu City and works in Luzon in Metro Manila. I've been to a lot of places in the three islands of the Philippines. I am so proud that even if not all places, I was able to go to important places here in my country especially to a place who plays a good part in Philippine history.

That's great of you! At least there are still Filipinos who aren't embracing Western cultures. Most of us aren't proud of their own blood anymore. They prefer speaking other language, use imported brands, listening to other country's music than to use their own. Well, there is nothing wrong with speaking others' language, using their products but too much of that is not good anymore. I am very glad that I knew someone like you who still is proud of the Philippine culture especially the historical places. Me too, am proud of being a Filipino. I am not forgetting the place where I am born, grew, lived and everything. Happy MyLotting...

Hi Blacksun310! I am proud that I am a Filipino but I admit I used other products but that doesn't mean that I don't like our products. There are just some things that I like compared to the one's that we have. Thanks!

Yes I do agree with you because I am also a Filipino. We have proven to the world that we are really talented and we have to proud of that. In the boxing field, we are still the number with our very own Manny Pacquiao and other Filipino artist who are famous in the world. Seeing different places in our country is one way of promoting and sharing experiences to others. I also like to travel abroad but i think I will still have to promote our own country since we have lots of beautiful places here that other countries don't know. We have the latest tourist destination the UnderGround River in Palawan, the Hidden Paradise of Caramoan Beach in Bicol Peninsula and many other stunning places. We should be thankful because our country is blessed with almost paradise places compared to other country which comprises dessert and arid lands.

Hello there! I am proud that I am a Filipino but I am sorry I just don't like Manny Pacquiao. I am proud that he brings such an honor to our country but I just like the way he is. Everything that our country has deserves a round of applause! Keep on posting!

I have been to three different places all over Indonesia. I work to travel. I enjoyed being in somewhere else, because I can learn new thing and get new experiences along the way. Indonesia is one of the largest archipelago country in the world and I think your country have thousand island as well. I didn't know how many island exist in there, around seven thousand island. Indonesia consists of nearly eighteen thousands island and almost five thousands island uninhabited. Indonesia is enriched with language, religion and cultures as well. I

I love to explore the Philippines too! Luzon, Visayas but I'll think in Mindanao *sigh! I was born and raised in Makati. Just settled 10 years ago in Cavite. So far, I enjoyed what Luzon has to give. I've been in so many places here... but there's more I haven't been. My dream vacation in Luzon is in Batanes. Yes, Philippines has more to offer. If tourists finds it a must visit places... well, why not us Filipinos. But my problem is one: money... I should have lots and lots of money to enjoy those places, right! Second: Time... adjusting time to all concerns hahaha I should go there your place too fsuma! Palawan's Underground River is one of a must see places in the world!

Hello Lhenni! That is so true. In order for us to travel our own country we need to have money. I rendered OT's before when I was still in the call center so that I will be able to travel. I don't care if I don't have much sleep so long as I have the money to travel. Hahaha... I have only seen the Underground River once and it was so magnificent. I would still want to go back there if time and money permits.

There are already lots of sites offering travel discounts for less than PHP 10K. We just have to be patient in looking for the deals that will suit our budget, time and interests. It would also be very beneficial if we'll schedule our trips one after another to enable us to explore more places.

Congratulations to you! I am also proud of being a Filipino! We must! We see a lot of Filipinos around the world! It is nice to know that even we have undergone many problems we still able to survive as a nation. We Filipinos share in common like for example how we celebrate Christmas which is different from other country. Indeed I can say it is only in the Philippines.

Good for you that you really love our country. This is the only one we have and we should be proud of her. Bad things also happen to other countries and our fellow Filipinos should not magnify it as if it is the worst. Like you, I also want to explore first the beauties that our country has to offer. Wag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan. No place like home, and that is the Philippines :)

I am also proud of my country, China. I think most people love their own country, though there are some problems in every country. Just as everyone has his or her merits and shortcomings, every country got its advantages and disadvantages. Some are underdeveloped because of historical reasons, some got incompetent or corrupt government, some, though have a glorious history and past, but now are falling down. But no matter how it is, it is our motherland, we should love it.
