Filipinos are everywhere and we rock!
Distance doesn't seperate Filipinos. No matter where in the globe Filipinos are, they come to celebrate as one.
Just recently, Manny Pacquiao won the victory for winning the WBO welterweight title over Timothy Bradley and the Filipinos hailed to cheer Manny to the top of our lungs.
Being a Filipino, I have noticed how solid the love, support and attention plus care that all around the world where Filipinos are for Manny Pacquiao. There are those that went all the way at MGM's Las Vegas in order to witness the fight of Manny. Others show their support through social networking sites. The gymnasium were set for free showing for Manny's fight and in fact, it was filled with lots of people. People cheered for Manny Pacquiao. There are those who shows actions of "upper cuts" while watching the show, revealing "boxing" gestures and actions. The excitement dominates the whole place. The people are shouting, smiling, etc. They showed zest of true support. And there indeed Manny in the boxing ring with all his might dealing with Bradley. Jessica Sanchez sang the "Lupang Hinirang", the national anthem of the Philippines beautifully. I can feel the deep meaning of each line and being a Filipino, I am proud of my country. The fight started, 'till Round 12 ended and the proclamation begun.
This what amaze me everytime. Filipinos are always there to support their "kababayan" (fellow Filipino) in times of fighting for victory and they are indeed reaching out to the extreme especially when it comes to Manny Pacquiao's fight. The road is clear. All the Filipinos are at their respective homes and social venues, really awaiting and closely watching the fight of Manny with the wide screen on.
It is just so amazing to know that even though it is not Manny Pacquiao, as long as where Filipinos are, support is bountiful. That is why, when a Filipino compete for competition that pertains to international setting, Filipinos undoubtedly bring Philippine's victory all the time. It is not just with his family, but more to his country and most to Lord Jesus, our God in whom every participant brings.
There is always this connection that binds every Filipino no matter where they are in the world. Even though if they just knew each other then, as long as everyone knows that he or she is a Filipino, rest assured life is more safer.
It is in our culture, in our roots, in our esteem and it is part of our being a Filipino that no matter where we are, the love and support plus the total care of each other tops it all, even to the extent of not knowing the person's name, but as long as you got me, there I got you (in this kind of sense).
Absolutely, we are amazing! We are who we are.
