Why are the Filipino’s worth dying for?
I am Joanna Mari B. Marcelo and I am doing a blog about “Why is the Filipino worth dying for?” If you ask me, all Filipinos would die for their country. We are self-sacrificing people and we always have the courage to strive and work so hard. We have our culture, but most of us don’t want to follow the values that our old generation tried to pass down to us. I love my country and I am proud of my nationality. Because of our love of freedom we learn to fight for it, we are not only doing this for ourselves but we are doing this for our loved ones and our countrymen. We should always honor and remember those who had sacrificed a lot and have given up their lives for us because we owe it to them. Our Democracy and Freedom will always be worth fighting for and if these are taken from us, we will fight to get it back.
I know a person who gave his life for the Filipino. His name is Ninoy Aquino. He loved the
Ninoy is a brave and strong person. He was exiled because he went against the former President Ferdinand Marcos and it was not allowed during Martial Law. Ninoy was loved by the Filipinos for what he has done.
His death was what gave the Filipino people hope and inspiration to be brave and fight back, just like him. Everyone was not afraid of Marcos anymore, even the media.
Our Country has suffered so much, from the hands of Foreigners who tried to take away our Freedom. But when it was returned to us, it is sad that our own countrymen, under the rule of President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda, gave harsh punishments to the Filipinos who disobeyed the Martial Law.
When Ninoy Aquino died, his wife President Corazon Aquino, continued the fight. Now we remember the death of Ninoy Aquino and celebrate his life. We as Filipinos are grateful for the sacrifices that Ninoy made for us. He had given us the courage to fight for our freedom. Now we know that when our freedom is taken from us again, we have to fight for it and never give it up because we deserve it.
