Feel Good Post: Philippines Starting Over and Making it Better

[KE-25]

---

Since I've seen a lot of post about what is wrong with Filipinos and its Country, thought of starting a post where people can place what is good about us , country and what we can do to better it

I'm Thinking for starters - Stop talking about whats wrong with this country and start talking about ways to fix it.

Feel free to open up and pour your hearts out ... what you've done, thought off , stories , etc ..

Lets try to start feeling good about ourselves

Yup read that story na , quite interesting ...

Local Stories : hoping to get stories locally here , i'm sure there are many like the story of this man. Taken from one of my earlier article about old and new politics.

Maybe this will help inspire people , I've heard stories about ...

His Excellency
Ramon Magsaysay

7th President of the Philippines
3rd President of the 3rd Republic

In the Election of 1953, Magsaysay was decisively elected president over the incumbent Elpidio Quirino. He was sworn into office wearing the Barong Tagalog, a first by a Philippine president.

During his term, he made Malacañáng Palace literally a "house of the people", opening its gates to the public.

One example of his integrity followed a demonstration flight aboard a new plane belonging to the Philippines Air Force (PAF). President Magsaysay asked what the operating costs per hour were for that type of aircraft, then wrote a personal check to the PAF, covering the cost of his flight.

I heard when he died , he was quite poor that friends of former president had to help wife buy a small home.

An estimated 2 million people attended Magsaysay's burial on March 22, 1957.

Simple but make sense ....

Theory:

I have noticed , People have very little positive things to say of our people and country than negative ones , hence with a heavy heart this is why we are slow to progress , as people , culture and as a nation.

Took me a couple of days to realize this. It is rather entertaining for most to debate someones negative post on the Philippines , than sharing what we can do , stories of good things that have happened.
