Ako ay PILIPINO, Taas noo kahit kanino

AKO AY PILIPINO


May 9, 2022, Monday is the election day in the Philippines, a day to express our desire of who we want to be the next leader/president of our country. I wish I can also participate; I wish I can also vote; I wish I can also express who I want to lead the Philippines for the next 6 years...I just really wish. Thus, allow me to express it in this post. But before I say who, I just want to say some things regarding this 2022 election. Because of this election, some friendships were destroyed, some relationships were broken, and many things happened..... but let us NOT allow hatred and pride to conquer our hearts. At the end of the day, we are all FILIPINOS who want the same thing for our country, that is for the Philippines to progress in many terms. We all want the BEST for our country - the best for the Filipinos. We all have our bets, we all have our opinion, and we all have our say on who should be in Malacañang. But, whoever will be appointed I hope and pray that we respect the decision of the majority. We don't do it for the new president, we do it for the Filipinos. Moreover, I pray that whoever wins will fulfill his/her promises, especially to the marginalized populations.


Now, I would like to express who I am rooting for. My president is Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. (Bongbong Marcos/BBM). But whoever wins, I will respect it. I will still support and will continue my duty as a citizen of the Philippines because I am a FILIPINO and I am for the FILIPINOS.

Ako ay Pilipino
Taas noo kahit kanino
Mahal ko ang bansa ko

My online diary

Welcome  to my nearly daily introspection, musings, blog, and life's unfolding drama (a.k.a. my online diary) - RGO June 18, 2024:   Hi, I have no update for more than a month so I will write long haha. I was so busy. Before I went to the Philippines, I had to prepare for a presentation. On May 31st, I presented the results of the first aim of my dissertation. It was a stressful week, but thank God I was able to share the first part of my research. After that, I went back to my country with my friend Beth to join a medical mission and tour her around the Philippines. It was another great experience with her and some friends who were my students. I really enjoyed the company and praise God for these wonderful people. We tried to give Beth a little taste of what the Philippines is like. I let her experience our public transportation, such as the jeepney and tricycle. Then, after a week, we came back to Taiwan. And just yesterday, she left 😢, she went back to the US. I wanted to shar

Exploring Hanoi and Beyond: Discovering the Wonders of Vietnam

I recently traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam. The short yet incredibly rewarding trip prompted me to share my experiences and the places I visited. I arranged my flight ticket through the TrekEarth Travel and Tours. Their exceptional accommodation and assistance made the process hassle-free. They helped me secure a comprehensive package, which covered essentials such as accommodations, round-trip private transfers, a Halong Bay excursion, meals, guided tours, and entrance fees. Upon arrival at the airport, I was warmly received by a representative who escorted me to the Lenid Tho Nhuom Hotel, where I spent the night.  On the first day, I explored the renowned old train street, making the most of the free time. The subsequent day commenced with the tour bus picking us up from the hotel and transporting us to the Tuan Chau International Port. From there, we embarked on the Le Journey Cruise for our Halong Bay adventure. Halong Bay is renowned for its captivating landscapes that evoke images of

Embracing the Journey: Overcoming Bitterness and Embracing God's Grace

Introduction: Waking up with a clearer mind, I found myself reaching for my phone to seek a glimmer of inspiration for the day (check the verse of the day that Pastor posted). Little did I know that the verse I stumbled upon would carry a profound message that would resonate deeply within me. Acts 20:24 spoke directly to my heart, reminding me of the purpose and resilience that can guide us through even the darkest times. Acts 20:24  -  However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;  my only aim is to finish the race  and complete the task  the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. The Struggle: Life has its way of pushing us to our limits, and I've often found myself grappling with overwhelming emotions and negativity. In moments of distress, my coping mechanism had been to escape – to leave behind the turmoil rather than confront it. But as the weight of various factors pressed down on me, I realized that this approach only perpetuate
