Work conscientiously, spend wisely, save up. Uplift our image to the world that we are hardworking, trustworthy, concerned about personal hygiene, remember to say good things about our Country even if it hurts, defend it to the point of being fanatical about it. And wherever we are, be proud to be a Filipino, smile even when it hurts, help our Countrymen when they are in dire straits. Assimilate the good traits of the host country, and be wary of the not-so-good ones. If you are a family person, inculcate in your children the values of honesty, close family ties, courtesy and belief in oneself as a Filipino. We cannot have it in any other way. Above all, always be faithful to Him, when in trouble, He's the most effective shield any one can have as an OFW and I am proudly Filipino by thoughts and words.

Hi, I'm proud of my country even though it has a terrible status today, coupled together with the corrupt leader, but I'm proud of my country because of it's History, the richness of it's culture, the beauty of it's landscape and the quality of it's people. Although there are some flaws and all, but there are somethings that I could be proud of. Honestly I just really started to love this country despite of everything just in the past few years, I was with those who "kinakahiya" the country. Sorry couldn't think of the proper term.
