Page 4 of 4 I want Filipinos to love their neighborhood and country as much as they
love God so that the Philippines will be well off. I am sure that love is
the keyword that Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful
structure at once; it should start from the person. Love must start in
everybody on a small scale and have to grow. A lot of things happen if we
open up to love.
Let's put away our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes. I
discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love because it
makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It changes people,
contexts and relationships. It changes the world.
Please love your neighborhood and country. Jesus Christ said that whatever
we do to others we do to Him. In the Philippines, there is God for people
who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love.
If you have children, teach them to love the Philippines. Teach them why
they have to love their neighborhood and country. You know that God also
will be very happy if you love others. That's all I really want to ask you
Filipinos.
(Editor's note: This essay was e-mailed to INQ7.net as a "Koreans letter
for all Filipinos," with a note that it was posted on the La Salle
Greenhills website. The note says: "My Short Essay about the Philippines"
was written in simple, imperfect English, and understandably so, for it was
penned by a young Korean student named Jaeyon Kim. Professor Marlon Aves
Diloy, a Filipino professor of Information Technology as well as English at
the Yeungjin College in Daegu, Korea, shares with all Filipinos this essay,
which sparked a renewed sense of nationalism and love for country for the
thousands of Filipinos in South Korea. Diloy hopes that it will also touch
your heart, the way it has deeply touched them.)Recommend this article...
