PTT: 10 bagay na aking pinagmamalaki bilang Filipino (10 Things That Makes Me Proud to Be a Filipino)

I was invited to be part of this weekly meme and I really think that this is a good venue to meet more online friends and gain more insight about other Filipinos’ thoughts. Thanks for the invitation!

(Naimbitahan akong sumali sa bagong meme na ito at sa tingin ko eh isa na naman itong magandang paraan para makakilala ng bagong kaibigan at malaman ang saloobin ng iba pang Pilipino tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay. Maraming salamat sa paanyaya!)

At ito ang aking Top Ten sa linggong ito (And this is my Top Ten for this week):

01. Mapagmahal at may takot sa Diyos (We all love and fear God)

02. Mapagmahal at pinahahalagahan ang pamilya (Being family-oriented)

03. Masayahin tayo (We’re basically a happy bunch of people)

04. Masipag at matiyaga (We’re hardworking and diligent)

05. Marunong tayo sumunod sa agos ng buhay (Resilient)

06. Artistic tayo – marami sa atin ang magaling kumanta, umarte, sumayaw, mag-pinta, etc. (We’re artistic and we have a lot of world-class talents in the art of singing, dancing, acting, painting, etc.)

07. Masarap magluto ang mga Pinoy. Marami tayong pagkain na world-class ang dating! (We love to cook and our food is world-class too!)
