The lack of patriotism stems from the way we were brought up and the values taught to us by our parents and the educational institutions . We only have to blame our ourselves. It's a wake up call guys! Why don't we give our kids names like: Bayani, Luawalhati, Humabon, Kulas, Bantogan, Lakambini, Walingwaling - just browse the names of kids in exclusive private schools and you'll find names that George Lucas would have picked for his Star Wars characters. Tan-awa ra gud ni:

Hanz Siegfred Jumamoy
Gretel Chloe Pacuribot
Fender Rhodes Escondido
Asheree Kaye Nicole Sumalpong
Vladimir Nikolai Butalid
Jericho James Karl Balad-ag
Sherry Maye Marie Atay
Bjorn Fritz Lucaylucay

Worse in the schools- CRAB MENTALITY IS institutionalized! Take this case: "Mam Irma!! Vladimir is speaking Cebuano dialect! I will listing hem to scrub the sweep in the stairs!"

Don't you think this is atrocious! How can we have a sense of patriotism and national pride, when we can't even speak our own Cebuano language in schools as if it is a criminal offense to do so. We cannot have a sense of national pride unless we take pride in our own ethnicity, our own culture and language!! And our politicians and education officials spouting Filipino first policy should know this.

To add, when the kids to to college, when asked: mag-unsa man ka igkadako nimo day / dong:

-"mag nars ko para maka earn of dollars unya mo adto sa U.S."
-"mag computer engineer ko kay dako ug suweldo sa U.S."
-"mag PT ko kay demand kaaayo ron sa U.S."
-"mag JAPAYUKI ko kay demand kaayo ron sa Japan!"

WAY JUY GUSTO MAG FARMER!! So respect for our country transcends beyond the customary salute to our national anthem!

Where did you get the names? Foreing first names but local names huh?

Anyway, I m not that colonial. What can you say about Spanish sounding names like Juan manuel, Alfonso Miguel, Marco Antonio, Francisco Juan, Miguel Antonio, Juan Carlos?

[antoy hilom]

For all practical intents and purposes, most of the native first names after 400 years of Spanish rule are almost extinct. So adapting Spanish names became the standard norm for most Filipinos in the same manner African Americans adapted to Anglo-Saxon names like James Smith instead of Mbolisi Woyaya. So Spanish derived names like Juan, Antonio, is more acceptable as Filipino than let's say Bjorn Fritz or Vladimirm Nikolai and personally I have nothing against the freedom to choose your child's name, but on the other hand it is also symptomatic of the lack of national pride and in one's own ethnicity.

Tagaan nimo ug such longs names like Asheree Kaye Nicole only to be nicknamed "Kay-kay"! Binoang!

[antoy hilom]

ADDENDUM:
Just spoofing the mismatch of foreign sounding names with Bisaya native surnames which has remain unchanged for generations!!

[sphinx]

well; your absolutely right.... but how about if we start posting in this specific topic our own native dialect......... ok ra mo ana?
