The Philippines: Love it, Hate it, What does it take?

Have you heard about '12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country' by Alex Lacson? It actually outlines simple but profound actions we can do. Here they are:

1) Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.
2) Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.
3) Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy local. Buy Filipino.
(Or, if you read the book, he suggests: 50-50).
4) When you talk to others, especially foreigners speak positively about us and our country.
5) Respect your traffic officer, policeman and soldier.
6) Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve.
7) Support your church.
During elections, do your solemn duty.
9) Pay your employees well.
10) Pay your taxes.
11) Adopt a scholar or a poor child.
12) Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.

These are the 12 things every Filipino can do to help our country.

I don't know how to solve society's problems. I can't even solve my own. LOL

But I can contribute, in my own little way, by being productive and keeping a job, paying my taxes so our politicians can have their pork barrels and therefore can make payments on their luxury vehicles, elegant mansions and expensive trips abroad.

~ not buying pirated cds (lisod man ni buhaton oi. lolz ), buying Philippine made products, paying taxes, dili pataka og labay og basura, and of course prayer (lisod ang change kung wala'y Divine intervention!) :mrgreen:

Buy Filipino, like pa gas adto gyud ko Petron. Abide the law (traffic, etc...) and segregate basura. Gamay rana pero kung kita tanan mutuman murag dako gyud ang kausaban.
