The resilience of every Filipino is often the very quality celebrated in the midst of calamity and the hardships our nation continues to bear. Despite every storm that comes our way, we still manage to carry with us our smiles and our hope. Yet our patriotism should not be measured solely by our resilience, especially when it means being pushed to endure hardship and expected to turn every struggle into a victory we must achieve.
While many admire the strength of the Filipino spirit, praise alone will never be enough to provide the care and protection that we truly deserve. We should no longer be expected to face disasters and shortcomings through silent suffering. We should not be left to stake our lives on mere perseverance when what we truly need is accountability. Nor should we be expected to continue enduring hardship in the face of negligence.
