Happy people that is what most foreigners would say after visiting and touring the Philippines, of course they would say this because we always welcome them with big smiles and warm hugs. But have you ever thought that our beloved country could be considered as one of the most violent countries in the world? Well, my fellow Filipinos for your information we are 27th in the list of most violent countries in the world. Imagine, at the back of our warm smiles lay the dark side of the Philippines.
Guys, na-shock ba kayo sa balita ko? Ako hindi na coz whenever I open the TV or listen to the radio news, I always see or hear how violent Filipinos are. Sa mga welga pa lang na pinapakita sa TV makikita na natin kung paano maging violent ang mga Pilipino. I am not saying that all Filipinos are violent but we should admit it that we really have the tendency to be violent like other people. Minsan hindi rin natin masisisi kung bakit nagiging violent ang mga Pilipino, ikaw ba naman ng ulanin ng mga problema tulad ng tumataas na presyo ng bilihin, gasolina, at bigas. Kahit ako mahihirapan maging cool noh.
But what I really can’t understand is if it is really necessary to resort to violence when we are fighting for our rights or the causes that we believe in. Can’t we just try to resolve issues peacefully? Ako kasi personally naniniwala na everything can be solved if we just try to understand one another. Oo minsan hindi tayo napapakinggan, hindi tayo napapansin pero that does not give us the right to be violent. Tingin ba ng mga tao violence will bring them any good? Actually, makakadagdag lang yun sa problema nila.
Ano ba mga kapwa ko Pilipino, hind ba tayo nahihiya??? Dati we’re considered as one of the happiest countries tapos ngayon nasan na tayo? We’re one of the most violent. Isipin nyo nga, pakitang tao lang ba ang mga ngiti at halakhak na pinapakita natin sa mga foreigners? Are we just doing that to cover up for the bad side of our country?
