12 Things You Can Do For Your Country

1 Be proud to be a Filipino
  -We have to be proud that we are Filipinos because we won't be able to do these good things for the Philippines if we aren't proud of it. We have a lot of things to be proud and grateful for. Some of the things we should be proud of are our diverse culture and history, our beautiful tourist attractions, and all other wonderful things our country has to offer.

2 Sing the national anthem with pride and honor

-We should sing the national anthem with pride and honor because it symbolizes the Filipino greatness and our independence. It symbolizes our nation so we have to respect it. It is easy to sing the national anthem with pride and honor, we just stand straight and sing it sincerely and wholeheartedly.

3 Explore the Philippines

Before we even travel abroad, we should first explore the beautiful places in the Philippines and realize how blessed we are to be born in such an amazing country. Some of the places you visit here in the Philippines might be even better than places abroad.

4 Learn the Filipino language

The problem with our country today is that some of us Filipinos don't even know how to speak Filipino. Learning our language may help us increase our love for our country even more. Our language is unique and special, that's why we should be proud of it.

5 Embrace the Filipino culture

As I said before, the Philippines is composed of very diverse and unique cultures. We have lots of different kinds of food,clothing, and people. We have a unique culture and history that we should be proud of.

6 Buy Filipino products

Another simple thing we can do is buying Filipino products.This helps our country because the money we spend on these products go to the Philippine government which they use to help improve our country.Buying imported products on the other hand gives the money we spend for these imported products to the other country that it came from.

7 Help the less fortunate

No matter where that prrson came from, local or abroad, we should help him/her if he/she has any problems because when we all help each other, we can accomplish anything. If we help each other, we can make our country a better and more peaceful place. This also brings us closer together as a community.

8 Respect foreigners and Filipinos

Even if we should be proud to be Filipinos, that doesn't mean we shouldn't respect foreigners. Though they are not Filipino, we should respect them because they can also help us improve our country. They can also enjoy and embrace our culture so we should welcome them.

9 Keep your surroundings clean

Though this sounds very simple, it actually helps a lot. It helps our country because throwing trash properly won't make it fill up our canals which will lessen the chances of flooding when there are storms so less floods mean less destruction and if there isn't any damage, our government can focus on improving our country so no matter how small it seems, keeping our surroundings clean plays a big role in our country's improvement.

10 Study hard

Even when we are young, we can still contribute to our country. One way is studying hard. This helps because when we grow up, we'll soon get jobs and companies want to hire educated people so studying hard can give you a better chance to get a job and earn money for yourself and the Philippines.

11 Take care of God's creations

God created everything, that means we should take care of everything and everyone too. We should protect the environment, the animals, and other people around us. We should take care of them because God created them. This helps our country because if we all take good care of each other, we will have more peace in our country which makes us more united.

12 Pray hard

Prayer is very important especially since majority of the Philippines believes in Christianity. God cam help us accomplish anything as long as we believe and have faith in Him. A religion is what makes a certain group of people more united if they have the same religion so prayer makes us closer and more united as one country and community so praying hard is one thing we can do for the Philippines.
