Any schmoe can wear a shirt bearing the flag of the Philippines and shout to high heavens how "proud" he is to be a Filipino. But to be OBJECTIVELY and CONVINCINGLY proud of something demands more than just an expression, much less a t-shirt, of said pride. Pride in a nation requires that said pride be SUBSTANTIATED by REAL evidence of ACHIEVEMENT.
What have Filipinos AS A PEOPLE *achieved*?
That is the REAL question that we need to ask ourselves. Or maybe you proud pinoys can give me an answer but for chrisssakes no Pacquiao or Pempenco alright!
