The Philippines will rise by Nikkoy..
Philippines
comprises of 7, 107 islands and can be found in southeast asia near the
pacific. The geographical location of it is prone to storm since it near the
pacific ocean. The country is riched in natural resources.
It has a lot of beautiful places, tourist spots and resting places
for local and international communities. It is known for the hospitality of its
people. Ordinary people are content in how they live and strive to make a
living. It is also known due to its endurance and strength after a lot of
tragedies that happened.
The land of the Philippines has suffered a lot since '90s. From
corrupt officials to devastating storms and oppositions between groups of
people. Recently in 2013, sequence of unimaginary events happened. First is the
exposure of the corruption inside the government which is the Pork Barrel Scam
wherein billions of pesos or hundred millions of dollars were grafted to few
and mighty people. Another is the war between the militant groups and the armed
forces of the Philippines. Several soldiers and militants died even civilians
were affected due to this outbreak of bullets and guns. The worst is the
lashing and destruction of the historical Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) at
Visayas (Leyte, Samar and near islands). The government, local and national
prepared for its coming and tracked its path. Live news were broadcasted and we
did not realize that it is very strong that it produced large and continuous
storm surges that brought the great destruction in the islands of Leyte and
Samar. Almost 7000 lives were taken to that storm and more are missing and
unidentified.
This nation has suffered a lot and is again in the position of
building itself.
A statement that my professor given regarding this nation is this
and verily disliked it "This nation is worst, there are a lot of bad
people and criminals, do not work here after you graduated. Work abroad."
That stament irritated my good ears. How can she say those words?
Well, i think that is her judgment, a quick judgment depending on the
situation.
I believe in her statement but what i do not want is that she
humiliated her own country.
I know in my heart that there is something good will happen in
this nation. I believe that GOD is cleansing this country from its sins and
doing new things. He is faithful to HIS promises and to His people.
This nation will not be a laughing stock of other countries
anymore but will be the center of attraction because GOD is with us.
