Altogether, We Become Stronger for Our Future

    What does it mean to have a resilient Philippines? Are we a resilient country because we help each other? Or do we help each other because we’re a resilient country? We have so many unanswered questions regarding our country, but what is the causes of our resiliency? Education. We go to school 5 times a week to learn how to read, write, speak, and all other things. Most importantly, we go to school to learn how to cooperate and communicate with one another into have a better output/results. And that’s what we use in order to attain solidarity. Solidarity in hardships, crisis, and even solidarity in celebrating the good. There would be no resiliency when there is no solidarity.

    But what’s solidarity when we don’t put it to use? The Philippines has maybe not the best solidarity, but it can be improved, and we’re showing that through helping, uniting, and being one with the people. We act when help is needed, just like when we face calamities. There are always the NGOs that are ready to help, even faster to lend a helping hand than the government. Doesn’t that show enough solidarity? One is helping when it should be the other that arrives first. It just means that despite having no position in the government or being an ordinary person, we can help and act fast even if it’s not our main job to do. That is how we, the Filipinos, demonstrate solidarity. We help, help, and help, even when we’re the ones who needs help. Ironic, isn’t it? We put others before us and that just means so much to me and towards building a resilient country. We adapt, support, and just build and build the connection of the Filipinos through acts that could give us hope into a brighter future. Our courage and dedication to help will thrive and create the best we can bring out within ourselves that can improve our country.

    But despite all that, we always face problems. Problems such as the government. Shouldn’t thegovernment be the one to spearhead acts that would help our country. Well, maybe we should also consider the citizens of the country as part of the problem. Because even though we fight for what’s right and our rights, there are always the majority that blindly stands in opposite of us. What if we had better governance? Wouldn’t it be easier to stand and rebuild what’s broken? Here’s another problem. Natural disasters. Are those something we expect? No. They are the reason why we need to rebuild, because they damage what we have. But we cannot control those thus the only thing we can do is stand by each other, and just give, and give, and give, until it’s our time to receive, and receive, and receive. Give and take, it’s that simple. Maybe the real problem is the society. Some wants to just receive and never give. They’re not there when people were there for them when they needed it. I mean, what’s so hard to do?
