i heart cebu. i love the philippines. i am proud to be a FILIPINO
After witnessing an event that shook the whole country, I detoxed myself from the vicious remarks I read on Facebook and other favorite blogs. I held myself from making any comments – I promised not to use my site as an instrument to spread hatred. We are sad, we grieve for the victims but we will not fuel hatred as if what transpired is a reflection of the whole country. I’m saying this because I cannot believe how some “kababayan” thought that its a case that can only happen in the Philippines.
I will not deny that there were mistakes committed by the police, media, the government and even the usiseros. We cannot ignore those things. The drama was a criminal case that was under the command responsibility of the Mayor of the City of Manila and not of the President, not even you or me. Let’s be clear about that.
We should not, will not let the world define us by this horrible event. I just cannot accept the way some people think that its the fault of the whole nation. How backward. How stupid to think that way.
My faith in this country will never falter. I love my country, I love my city and I am proud to be called a Filipino.
