Proud to be...

This is the flag of the Philippines. Our flag... my flag. I post it here because it makes me proud to be a Filipino. Not only that, it reminds me of the fact that as a Filipino, I am purely and naturally born in this great nation which holds the record as the only Catholic country in the far east side of Asia. And with this thought, I am more proud to be one of the residents from the Visayas area, which is located at the heart of the archipelago- near the center -in the queen city of the south called Cebu, with underlying Six (6) cities namely: Cebu city, mandaue city, Lapu-Lapu city, Toledo city, Danao city and the newly named-Talisay city!

I am so proud to be in a place like where I am now:Lapu-Lapu city. And again let me reiterate it that:I am even more proud to be a "Bisaya". As the term implies: "Bisaya" - from the english term Visayas which refers to someone who comes from any of the other islands belonging to the Visayas group. As a bisaya, I feel cared for by the generosity of neighboring Visayanians (I hope it's correct) as they visit here every now and then.


So, fellow Visayans: raise up your chins and feel the greatness in our hearts as we unite for a common goal of friendship!
