Filipinos Have Forgotten Patriotism?

By ODAN - Filipinos have become complacent and have forgotten about patriotism, belief in true principles and belief in the true Christian faith. They sing the National Anthem, but they won't fight for their rights. However, they love to watch Filipino TV channels, shout in excitement when they see the Wowowee show and cry when they view the telenovelas. They love to go to church but most are corrupt and cheat whenever they get a chance.

There is a funny story about Filipino soldiers stationed at one of the islets in the Spratly Islands. Their commander had a birthday in another island, so they all went to celebrate it. While they were gone, Vietnamese soldiers occupied their island. Also the Vietnamese sent prostitutes to the party to entertain the Filipino soldiers so that they will stay there. Days later when the Filipino soldiers returned, they were surprised to see Vietnamese solders building fortifications.

Up to now, the Filipinos could not take the islet back. What do you think it will take to give them courage to oust the Vietnamese? More prostitutes? Isn't this a shame? Yet these Filipino soldiers sing the National Anthem all the time. Lets ask Momar. Maybe he has some ideas for our poor compatriots back home.
