He's a man and I admired him.

It's really rare for a man to admire another man and I know that many people will judge you if they know that you're admiring someone like that. Is it that bad to admire a man? Well for me it's not bad and I know many people out there are admiring him also. Why? Because he's a man of words and what he will say, he will execute it even if a lot of critiques sets their killer eyes to him.

How can I not admire him? He just changed the view of my world, my country. Despite the fact that some people hate him so much, still he do his duty excellently. He just ignored them and shut their mouths. Well that's the necessary measures because those people are just talking and talking, throwing dirts in someone's back.

I didn't had the chance to place my bet on him because I'm not qualified yet to do so back then. Now that I witnessed how he works, I know for sure that we need someone like him in the future in order for our country to prosper once again. He's the only one who can badmouth those big names around the world. I don't know if it's good to hear but if we just play to be soft then they will see it as an opening for us to be prone in bullying.

Well that's how it should be because for so long we've took cover under their wings and remained to be powerless and mute. Our race is not like that. Just looking in the past, we stood up against them and claimed our freedom but what happened to all of the sacrifices of our ancestors if we will still be a pet to them.

My and our country Philippines is not a pet of someone's country just because they are bigger than our country. We've witnessed a change already and I hope we can see more change coming in the future wherein every Filipino will have the confidence again to say, Ako ay Pilipino. Taas noo kahit kanino. We have the bravery in our blood. We are sons and daughters of noble heroes who stoods up for our freedom. We should be proud of it. If you're a Filipino then you should be proud.

He loves his country and willing to go down just to protect it from the sinful hands. He loves his fellow Filipinos and willing to do whatever it takes to save them. He gives more attention to the real problems of the country than to talk much and blame the past why it happened.

He captured the hearts of the people with the help of his straight forward talking and he didn't expect that Filipinos will buy it. Filipinos are decent persons but it seems that due to the boring governance of the past administrations, they just elected a new face of governance.

Many people didn't believe in him but twice as that believe him that's why he brought so much changed. There are many crituques about his moves especially the war on drugs. These social medias and sort of agencies such as the HR reacted to this one but they didn't even react when a drug lord destroying human lives especially the young filipino people.

But so far , even if there are many critiques flying in the air, that didn't stop him to bring change. A lot of people are very sarisfied despite what social medias put in their news. Why? Because they didn't trust them anymore because instead of covering the progress made by his government, they are looking for holes to make his government to look bad infront of the citizens.

He's the powerful man in the country but he can bow down to honor the dead. He's very humble to begin with. He stood up for FEM to be burried in Libingan ng mga bayani. What's his reason for doing that? He said that being a soldier who fought for his country is already a qualification to be there.

That move also lighted the fire again especially to many Ilokanos who loved Ferdinand and didn't lose hope that someday he will be put there. His wish to come back here to be burried beside his mother was not granted by the woman in yellow due to her personal reasons. That made many Ilokanos very angry to the yellows.That's just some part of the history wherein I didn't learned that in school.

Moving on to the man I admired, he is celebrating his 77th birthday today and I can see that many Filipinos still loves him. I see alot of portraits of him posted by the youths and that only means that these youths sees the good in this man.I hope that will never change when he's not in his position anymore.

Author's note

This is all about the current president of the Philippines and I know that maybe some of you here sees the bad side of him but I just want to say that why we need to focus on his bad sides if we can focus more on the good sides he have.

That one applies for everybody out there because some people tend to look for the holes in someone's life then publish it to the many. Just like what's happening between a government and social medias. I hope this kind of act will stop. I know someday it will and for now let's see the goodness in everyone's heart.

That's it for today and I thank you once again for reading my article. See you again next time.
