I am a Filipino, a pinoy and I'm proud of it. I love, respect and will die for my country.
As we all know my fellow Filipinos out there and here in readcash, we just celebrated our 123rd Independence Day last June 12,2021. We reminisced the past and we are grateful that we succeed in claiming our freedom and it all thanks to those brave heroes who fought , sacrificed, shed tears and blood alongside with the Filipinos and to our country . We don't have this kind of freedom today if not because of them. Lets not forget about them and let's use our freedom in a right way, in order to build and maitain a peaceful nation.
We are not able to fully celebrate this historic occasion due to this pandemic but in my heart and in our heart I know that we fully celebrated it.
Resiliency of Filipinos
We are well knowned for our resiliency, my country , Philippines had suffered from volcanic erruptions, earth quakes and typhoon after typhoon countless times since the past because the Pacific ocean is just beside our country where most of the typhoons forms .
These typhoons, earthquakes and erruptions that brought a lot of damages in our lives has molded us to what we are now. We are able to get up from being pinned down , we are able to smile despite loosing a house and we are able to move on despite loosing our love ones. We can start from nothing to something and from something to everything again and again.
As I roamed around the social medias after a typhoon, many were amazed by this charateristic of Filipinos, that's why we can't deny that Filipinos are loved and respected by many around the world. Many has been inspired by this trait of us Filipinos and it became a way in opening the hearts of everyone to unite their hands, building foundations in order for that smiles will not fade away.
Especially when the typhoon Yolanda struck our country resulting to the destruction of 1.14 million homes that cost billions and more than 6000 lives were taken away in an instant. It was the most devastating tragedy we've ever faced off but despite of that we are being praised by the whole world for the resilience and strength we showed in defiance of what we are into.
It was 2013 when this happened and we are able to stand up again all thanks to God and with the unending support coming from different countries driven by the spirit of Filipinos.
When Taal volcano had errupted, once again we had been tested by it's anger. This tragedy resulted to 39 deaths as reported ,wounded has not been included and 3.4 billion pesos worth of damages in Calabarzon. This one triggered the bayanihan of the citizens, started to donate foods, water, shelter, clothes,medicines and many more in order for the affected individuals will survive.
The bayanihan also inspired other countries to send their help as well. After this tragedy we were able to get back into our feets again and smiles in the faces of children has been restored.
As of now we are currently at the middle of this Covid-19 pandemic and most of us had been affected by this especially the poor ones in our country. We had been surprised by this deadly virus and it spread all around the country in just a matter of days and months.
Our country is not ready for this kind of thing and our goverment is trying their best to control the situation in order to prevent further cassualties. The cases has been adding up day by day and our country had just reach the total of 1 million cases.
This pandemic had brought us many problems in our daily lives. We had been detained in our house unable to go to our work, bussinesses had been falling down, many ordinary citizens who's work are in the fields were being told not to go out. Especially for senior citizens because they are the most vulnerable to be infected by the virus.
Despite we are in the midst of pandemic we are able to smile, life goes on , trying every single solution in order for us to survive everyday. The goverment had been distributing food packs to every corner of the country it's not enough for everyday needs especially for those who lacks financially.It hinder us to survive but still we are struggling each day to survive no matter what , even if it is a deadly one we will keep going.
This pandemic is trying our patience for a long time now, not just here in the Philippines but around the globe. This pandemic had taken many innocent lives and still continues to take more day by day if this will not be stop.
A question that's been running in my mind.
We succeed in claiming our freedom and declared our independence. Now that we are in this huge crisis dragging us down, detaining us into our own house, restricting our actions, keeps hurting people and keep taking lives of innocent people around the world, when we will succeed in claiming our freedom from this pandemic.
If I will go back to the time when we struggling to fight for our freedom, what did we do? We joined hands, strengthen our unity and we faced them as one. So we can do that also today especially that this pandemic does not concern just a single nation but every single nation around the globe.
Closing thoughts
We had been to many different life threatening situations in our journey and conquered them all. Any situation can be overcome if we are united as one. Just like when we claimed our freedom.
Now that we are facing a world crisis , may the resiliency of us Filipinos inspire you and your country to keep going , stand up , smile , and continue the fight we started.
Happy Independence day again to my beloved country men.🇵🇭Once again we will claim our independence in this battle of Covid-19 pandemic.

Naalala ko nga yang Yolanda, dami talaga niyang nasira. Nakakalungkot lang at wala tayong magagawa to prevent those natural disaster hays. And now, we like prisons because of pandemic. Sana nga lumaya na tayo sa disaster na 'to.
