Unkabogable Philippines

"Proud to be a Filipino!" easy to say, but are we really proud? You see, we often speak about our "being Filipino" whatsoever, but we're not making a stand. Wake up Pinoy! We need to wake up from our dark ego of being foreign-land-and-their-goods lovers. I know it's hard and I'm not condemning imported goods and fashion articles, but why not balance our lives with a little bit of them foreign bags and shoes with a lot our own? Buying Philippine-made products generate money, and that money helps our countrymen behind them. Money that feed their children, and therefore uplifts their way of living.

Good thing Filipinos now are not your typical "Juan dela Cruz" nor "Maria Clara". Today, we outshine in this competitive world and there's nothing to belittle anymore. I have my own list of the 'other' Filipinos we should be proud of and look up to.

1. 2010 Ford Supermodel of the World, Danica Magpantay.

During the Recent Phil. Fashion Week.

2. Fashion Super Blogger, Bryan Boy. This boy wonder wowed the entire fashion industry - even the great, Marc Jacobs.

3. The Philippine Azkals. Because of them, football will never be a foreign sport to a Filipino kid.

Waving the Philippine Flag.

4. Michael Cinco, a fashion designer whose works are recently featured and used in America's Next Top Model Cycle 16. He was also well applauded on 2010 Dubai Fashion Week.

5. Thia Megia. At a young age of 15, this young Pinay moved Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson and the rest of us for being the youngest contender in American Idol Season 10.

6. Furniture designer, Kenneth Cobonpue. This Cebuano changed how Hollywood celebrities live in their homes with his cutting-edge designs.

It's really overwhelming how many Filipinos astound the world now, but let's not be contented with that. Let's  pull each other up and make it to the top!



Walang ibang magtutulungan, Kundi tayo-tayo din lang. 
Para sa lahing hindi marunong sumuko at laging may ngiti kahit maraming pighati.






HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL!!
