| Biography | And so what is this one’s view? Its view is quite simply what I am. I am what God made me to be. I am a Filipino, in heart and in spirit whether I choose to be one or not. I did not choose to be Filipino but rather I lived to be a Filipino. Even if I part this land that Filipinos call their own and swear alliances to other countries, I still am a Filipino because I was raised that way, not any other. I was educated by Filipinos on Filipino ways and in Filipino practices. I lived and mingled with Filipinos and befriended them and some became my enemies, but still they are Filipinos. But this is not the only thing that made me Filipino. I am made a Filipino because I chose to be. I wanted to be one because even if they have their differences the Filipino people are like no other, and that is because I lived with them. Which to me makes them unique among all others. A Filipino is not an American or a Spaniard or Japanese. A Filipino is a Filipino, “tagos hanggang buto”. (roughly translated: "in all entirety (with more intensity)" ...er...I'm not that good at translations...) A Filipino is what I and a million others say it is. And now that I have done my part in saying my piece, let me have a last word to close my search of what a Filipino is: “A Filipino is a Filipino not because he lived the way a Filipino should live but because he lived, plain and simple.” |
