How Can a Filipino Help the Philippines

help Philippines

The moment I started this blog, I started for a cause. The moment Ax Realm is to be created, I also want to blog things on how can a Filipino help the Philippines.  I also wanted to influence some life form out there who is able to access this world slash teritorrial subspace.  Me making a difference, huh? But, seriously, its not just literature and selfthought ideas I want to write.  I also want to give tribute to my country. This is my home, anyway.

This is a list of things not just for my countrymen but also for those who have learned to love the 7,107 islands. I may be wrong in stating these things but I believe these stuff will help..

  1. Recycle Paper.
  2. Follow traffic rules.
  3. Vote. Research everything about the people you are going to vote. Do not be mislead by articles that talks about good deeds of Mr. X running for Y position. Have a neutral point of view. The winning candidates of the national election will decide and run the next six years of the Philippines.  And six years is long enough, long enough that a high school student could finish his secondary education.
  4. Teach kids to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’
  5. And teach kids the essence of prayer.
  6. Report smoke belcher vehicles. Yes, you need not be a traffic enforcer to report such.
  7. Get your ticket when riding public utility buses. It is honesty.
  8. Explore the Philippines. And please do not vandalize historical places.
  9. Do not burn plastic -made materials.
  10. Segregate trash.
  11. Do not speak bad about the Philippines. Either in your blog, to tourists or in any media. We have to deal with it. Things are worse sometimes. It occurs. But we are giving foreign people a bad impression, especially to those who haven’t gone to Philippines yet.
  12. Respect law enforcers. And of course, report law enforcers who do not enforce the law of the land.
  13. Watch indie films.. in theater.
  14. You may trash paper anywhere. But not the non-biodegradable stuff.
  15. Explain to kids why they have to put their trash in a garbage bin.
  16. Try to finish your schooling. If it is a four-year course, TRY to finish it for four years. If it is a five-year course, TRY to finish it for five years. If you are enrolled in a state university, the government is paying for your education. If you finished a four-year course in six years, the two years could have spent on someone who wanted to earn a college degree also. If you say you are enrolled in a private school, you are spending your parent’s money that they could have used on their retirement. If you say you are the one who pays for your tuition, then kudos to you.
  17. Plant anything. Vegetable, flowers or trees. If you do not have time, at least water your plants.
  18. Observe due process.
  19. Do not hold grudge against the government. The government means People of the Republic of the Philippines.
  20. Support even one charity, sector or right groups.
  21. If you smoke, at least make sure the flame is extinguished when you throw it away.
  22. And would you mind to throw your cigarette butt in a trash bin.
  23. Cooperate with the securities of airport, hospitals, government and business buildings and educational institution.
  24. Walk if it’s near.
  25. Tell a blogger to write anything what he can do to his country.

I believe the essence of this post is to tell everyone what my thoughts are on how each of us can help the Philippines. After all, this is our home.. And most of us do not have anywhere to go to if this paradise gets messy.

    In our little ways, we can help and make a difference

    and

    having a family.

    konek?

  10. Mr. Nonsense says:

    papaano yung:
    -lagay system (magmula sa airport, sa NBI, sa kalye, etc.)
    -job discrimination (pag matanda, me asawa, lalaki, o panget eh wala ka na)
    -basurahan ( kung saan-saan na lang)
    -mass migration (ng mga me utak…nag-aalisan)
    -pabonggahan ng mga polital leaders
    -alahas, inuman, electronics, pagandahan…kahit walang makain mga anak.
    wait…don’t speak negatively nga pala.

    • Ax says:

      haha. oks lang yan. mawawala din yan pag nalaman na ng mga Pinoy ang essence ng pagiging Pilipino! Actually, it’s only discipline that we need para isang grandeur na pagbabago ang makuha natin.

      pero di ko masisisi ang mass migration, Philippines can’t offer much at this time. kaya siguro, okay lang na mangibang bansa. babalik din yang mga yan. this is their home!

  11. Thank you for this post. isa ka ngang pag-asa ng ating inang bayan…

  12. walongbote says:

  14. Mon says:

    Nice list Ax! :)
    pag bored din ako gagawa din ako ng ganito. hehe

  15. lovely says:

    napadaan backread na lang pag balik ko..

  16. TSI says:

    Recycle paper and tissue hehe! Madalas pa namn ako ma-bored ax pero di ko naiisip magsulat ng ganyan. :)

  17. Nortehanon says:

    Indeed, Ax, it feels good to write about our homeland (and you can do it even if you’re not bored hahaha). I am happy that you have written this post. Nakakatuwa na ang isang kabataang tulad mo ay patuloy na nakikialam at nangangarap para sa kapakanan ng ating Lupang Hinirang. Keep at it. Kung marami lang sana ang gagawa ng ganito, hindi lang sa pagsusulat kundi sa paggawa, then I can hope for a better Philippines for my grandchildren. Sana nga ay hindi mawala ang idealismo ng kabataan ngayon sa kanilang pagtanda. Young people should keep the fire burning in their hearts.

    Maraming salamat for including a link to my advocacy. It is much appreciate.

    • Ax says:

      Oo nga eh. Kahit hindi ako bored makakapagsulat ako! yay. hehe. No problemo on your link! I am happy na nakakapag spread ako ng mga sites through my artic. hehe. natuwa ako sa Lupang Hinirang part. Ang lalim! pero yun nga ang correct term. Young people are the hope of the country. I am included therein! yay. hehe.

  18. bonistation says:

    sana may sumunod kahit isa man lang sa mga yan…

    wishful luck para sa ating lahat! ^^

  19. bluguy says:

    i like practical goals in life….magandang ang mga objectives mo ax….teach kids to pray…siguro kailangan talaga! di ba sinulat na ito ng isang mambabatas ….moral recovery ang kailangan natin for a change…prayer helps build up a moral spirituality…..

    • Ax says:

      kasama ang moral uplift ng bawat citizen ang ‘malaking’ change na gusto ng mga Pilipino. we need education and morale to do right things.

      kudos kuya blu! hehe.

  20. galing galing ni ax

    yeah i definitely and absolutely agree on what you’ve stated above..

    simple things yet hard for us to follow

    that’s why we are not improving..

    • Ax says:

      mag i improve din tayo! there’ll come a time na magiging okay din ang Pilipinas!

      papatayin ko muna lahat ng adik at criminal. yay.

  21. flamindevil says:

    Teach kids to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ – syempre dun forget to teach them also how to say po and opo.

    Support even one charity, sector or right groups. – yeah, i have yet to do this

    If you smoke, at least make sure the flame is extinguished when you throw it away. – well, i don’t smoke.yehey

  28. J.Kulisap says:

    Hindi na natin kailangan pang magsulat o magmungkahi kung sa sisimulan natin sa ating mga sarili ang pagkukusa, pagmamalasakit at pagiging makabayan.

    Kapag nasumpungan na natin ‘yan don pa lang magsisimula ang pagbabagong nais ng nakararami.

  52. yoshke says:

    Kahit yan lang, malaki na ang ipagbabago ng Pilipinas.

  53. deejay says:

    paano? di ko pa din alam if paano… basta ako trying hard akong maging good citizen.

  56. jason says:

    HEHEHEHEH umaapaw dito!!! nakana ang lupet ni AX!
    ehehehhe

  57. bipolarsisa says:

    nice one. ;) simple-yet-not-so-easy-to-follow-advices. hehe.

  58. I especially like tip #19. We can’t operate from bitterness and we can’t tolerate the tendency to have a victim complex. we are the change we want in others.

    • Ax says:

      true indeed. the change lies within us! and we can’t hate the government because we hate the things happening in the Philippines!

      you are indeed a true filipino!

  59. bernard says:

    Just a suggestion, you can add to your list:

    Be a member of politicalarena.com to know more about the candidates.

    PoliticalArena.com is the Philippines’ first socio-political network site. This is the best place keep abreast with the latest issues for the Philippine 2010 presidential elections. Filipinos can interact with the country’s top politicians and inquire about their viewpoints on topics such as human rights , labor & unemployment , education , poverty and others. Members can also read politician profiles and view politician photos and videos . PoliticalArena.com is the Filipino’s best political resource site.

  60. lee says:

    just BRILLIANT!
    nahihiya tuloy ako sa klase ng blog ko (kung matatawag ngang blog yun).

    • Ax says:

      Aw, oks lang yan! Yay. Kung nahihiya ka man sa blog mo, ako proud ako para sa’yo! Oo! Mahirap yata magsulat at maglibang ng tao!

      Di ba?! Hehe.
