Wherever you maybe in the world, still, there is no substitute for being patriotic to your own country. Why do I say this ? Because many people especially in Third World Countries have already lost hope, They are thinking that the best opportunities are only found in the US and other progressive countries like Singapore, Hongkong, Malaysia, and Europe, etc. It’s a wrong notion, I tell you. Eventhough you’re only staying in your own country you can still make a difference, to your immediate families, your neighbors, in the community and to your countrymen.
Like in the case of our country, the Philippines. Most Filipinos have been losing hope that our country can still rise against bad politics, poverty, century-old problems of the Christians and our brother Muslims, and many more pressing problems. As a result, Braindrain is massive in our country. It is a situation or scenario that brilliant Filipino professionals and blue-collar workers are leaving us, thinking that greener pastures is not in the Philippines but in other countries, most especially the United States of America (USA).
But while this is the kind of thinking inculcated in their minds, the Chinese are also trooping to the Philippines, saying "Let’s go to the Philippines, there are golds there." True to their mindset, our brother Chinese are owning 85-90 percent businesses in the Philippines and they are reportedly the ones controlling the economy. Their businesses are sprouting anywhere in the country and they are the ones becoming richer here. This is because of the wrong mindsetting of the Filipinos. Because if opportunities are not here, why are our brother Chinese becoming richer in our own land ?
For our brothers anywhere in the world. You too, can make your country great. All you have to do is just discover the hidden wonders of your respective countries. As the famous saying of a US Great says " Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
