Resiliency of Filipinos

Smiling. Laughing. Hoping. Accepting what is done and letting it pass. Filipinos are really no stranger to natural disasters. Filipinos are known for being resilient, all the time. We are capable of recovering, even how strong that disaster is. We are excellent in making things just the way they are. How can Filipinos do that? How brave are they? Well, of course, maybe it runs in our blood. Annually, there are so many unexpected disasters in the whole world, but for the Pinoys, we are already used to it. Instead of doing anything to lessen the effect of what the disaster may bring, we are doing nothing except to accept and let it pass.

They don’t wait for help because in the first place, they already knew that nobody is going to help

Annually, every Fourth Monday of July, the current President was able to discuss and tackle with the whole congress about his plans and projects for our country. It is very important for the Filipino citizens to know about this special event, the State of the Nation Address. So that, they will be informed about the present condition and what really the country is experiencing or facing right now. President Duterte delivered his speech last July 23, 2018, shared the country's achievements and also his plans for the next days to come and until his presidential term lasts. Many statements left a mark, a big question mark on people's minds. He said that he values friendship but it has limits. What does it mean? He explained that, do not make him lonelier and do not give him the reason to end friendship by forcing him to do so. The loss of friendship also pains him. He also added that we must learn from Typhoon Yolanda and other disasters, maybe for us to be safe and always cho
