How strong Philippines is ? Our Filipino people have many outstanding trails in national character.Even us, may from our personal opinions, based on our experiences.
It is described that Philippines is like a bamboo tree. It is wiser than other robust trees.Because when the wind blew its hardest, it know it was not so strong as the same trees. But every time the wind blew, it bent its head gracefully. It made loud protestation but it let the wind have its way.When finally the wind got tired blowing the bamboo tree still stood in all its beauty and grace.
The Filipino is also like the bamboo tree, he bends his head gracefully with many loud protestations when there are invaders invaded him. Liked the Spaniards came and dominated him for more than 300 years, the Americans and the Japanese.And after all the Filipinos still stood-only much richer in experiences and culture. The Filipino embraced all the way of life more readily than the invaders. Even the Invaders came like a storm, the Filipino learned to bow his head low, that made all enemies folded their own ways.
