Filipino Leaders

The Filipino youth exemplary leaders
Is the Filipino youth empowered? First let me ask you this question: Is youth, in general, empowering?
Does being young bring about a sense of knowing what you can and need to do? Does it give us the divine power known as empathy?
Well, no, not all youth are given that chance. Not all people are given the loving embrace of a parent or the right societal values- that is what separates the Filipino youth from any other youth.We may say that the Filipino people have their mistakes. Of course, they're not perfect.
However, what is fascinating in the country is the zest and the rejuvinating enthusiasm that the youth have. The youth of today, eqipped with the technology and resources, have been ever vigilant in their opinions in the different issues in the country.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and even 9gag, we all see a little preview into the young Filipino mind. Viral videos pertaining to public issues and blogs which call for change in the country are found here and there.
The Filipino youth is empowered because of the fact that they're Filipinos. They're Filipinos immersed in a world of corruption, hate, and indifference. In the same light, they're exposed to hope.
They're exposed to a tiny sliver of hope, passed on from the line on great heroes, illiterate or no. The collective hope, the hope that the country can still be changed, that is what empowers the Filipino youth.
Their hands, however calloused or bruised, have time to type speeches about empowered Filipino youths. They have time to joke about current issues and write blogs about it because they hope.
The Filipino youth is empowered. The Filipino youth is hoping.
