    In 2008, I had the opportunity to visit the Philippines for the first time. I traveled to the various villages that my family was from, and it was evident that most people were quite poor, many whom worked on farms or owned small businesses. Surprisingly, these people were not sad because of their circumstances; they smiled through them. I was taking a glimpse of the world that my family had lived in, and I began to understand in a deeper sense why they wanted to come to the United States.…

    Pilipino Diaspora

    The Filipino diaspora is becoming increasingly common and could possibly be one of the most important aspects to Filipino economy and family stability. To be a diaspora means leaving one’s home country in hopes of gaining more opportunities to help themselves and their family become successful. In the past few decades, there has been an increase in filipinos leaving their homeland in hopes to send back money for their families. The number of countries that they find themselves in has also increased in the past few years with the top places for Filipino Americans being the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. Although the promise of a new land may bring hope for new opportunities and success, there is always the chance of complications and hardship. Some examples of these negatives would be loosing touch with one’s culture and heritage or problems arising in the family. Having to be away from one’s family for long periods of time can greatly affect the family dynamics and life at home. Overcoming these kinds of difficulties can be one of the greatest tests of a strong filipino household, but there are many positive benefits that can come out of this experience. Some of these being a stronger sense of culture, family, and independence.…

    My Personal Contribution

    Given the chance to start a significant change in the Philippines, It is but proper to say that I should start it within myself. I suppose that each one of us has the ability to do so for the betterment of our country. When one has the courage to make a change in the Philippines, one could attract other people to have the same vision. Yet, this is not an easy task. As what other people say, we cannot please everybody. It is similar to the fact that we could not bring everybody to where we are going, unless they see that we do it with great dedication and commitment. All we need to do is to let others have a positive mindset on everything, and the change that we want depends on how much we put ourselves to what we think should happen. When we are able to change ourselves, people would notice it. And definitely, when they notice the change within us, then they would possibly follow what we do in order to achieve change. Not just an ordinary change but a SIGNIFICANT and a POSITIVE one.…
