PATRIOTISM There was this one particular day‚ where we studied about Patriotism (Pagkamakabayan)‚ which is true love for the homeland; and it has changed my views on being a patriotic person a lot. Patriotism grows from loyalty to one’s nation out of love for its citizens and its natural resources‚ it is a duty that every person must be proud to have; because if it weren’t for our country‚ then we would be homeless. We owe a lot to our country‚ and let us give back by giving love and time for
