My Short Essay about the Philippines
Jaeyoun Kim
September 2003

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might help you understand my point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to start from scratch because entire country was destroyed completely after the Korean War, and we had no
natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos were very rich in Asia. We envy Filipinos. Koreans really wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine. My father’s brother also died because of famine.

Korean government was awfully corrupt and is still very corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best for the common good with their heart burning with patriotism. Koreans did not work just for themselves but also for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea. He tried to borrow money from other countries, but it was not possible toget a loan and attract a foreign investment because the economy situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory. They had to go through a horrible experience. In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw the President Park. They asked to him, “President, when can we be well off?” That was the only question everyone asked to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent money to Korea. So, President Park was able to build many factories in Korea.

He always asked Koreans to love their country from their heart. Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea to help developing country because they wanted their country to be well off.

Though they received very small salary, they did their best for Korea. They always hoped that their children would live in well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically handicapped people live. They wanted me to understand their life and help them. I also worked for Catholic Church when I was in the army. The only thing I learned from Catholic Church was that we have to love our neighborhood. And I have loved my neighborhood.

Have you cried for the Philippines? I have cried for my country several times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country. They go to mass and work for Church. They pray everyday. However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners at the maximum security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood. The owners of factory and company were distributed their profit to their employees fairly so that employees could buy what they needed and saved money for the future and their
children.

When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines, I completely lost my faith. I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia, but there are too many poor people here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed. My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation. They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there so many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pasangjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would fun. However, they were not happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they were sympathized the boat men, for the boat men were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves, we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are
same and have received a great love from God.

I want Filipinos 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 which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from person. Love must start in everybody in 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 who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country.

You already know that God also will be very happy if you love others. That’s all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

Ang mahiwagang mensahe ni Doraemon

Fave ko talaga si doraemon at nakakabilib xa mga tsong at tsang, kahit ganon marami ka mapupulot na aral sa mga pinagsasabi nia, kaya siguro ang lagi niyang sinasabi ay “ang mahiwagang mensahe”! lol

Here’s are few of his mahiwagang mensahe:

1. “Hindi porke kaya mong gawin ang isang bagay ay dapat mo nang gawin.”

2. “Mahirap maging matanda. Wala nang mas matanda na titingin sa’yo.”

3. “Huwag mong ipakitang malungkot ka sa ibang tao kung wala kang balak mag-share ng problema. Para kang nag-alok ng hopia pero hindi mo naman ibibigay.”

4. “Hindi mo dapat iyakan ang nakaraan. Isipin mo, bakit nasa harap ang mata? Ito ay para lagi mong nakikita ang hinaharap.”

5. Nobita: Bakit maski isipin ko na kaya ko gawin ito, di ko pa rin makaya?
Doraemon: Simple lang yan! Kasi iniisip mo lang, hindi ka naniniwala!

6. Nobita: Doraemon, meron ka ba diyang gamit yung mapapasagot ko agad si Shizuka?
Doraemon: Meron.
Nobita: Ah pahiram ako!
Doraemon: Ayoko nga!
Nobita: Ang damot mo! Bakit naman?!
Doraemon: Kung tunay kang nagmamahal, hihintayin mo sya kahit gaano pa katagal.

7. Wag ka ng mag-isip at bigyan ng dahilan ang isip mo para isipin siya. Masaya ang buahay kaya mabuhay ka ng masaya.

8. Ang talagang makakapagpasaya sa atin ay yung taong naging dahilan kung bakit tayo nalungkot. 

Emotera…..

Tamang Senti lang mga tsong at tsang…

1. nsaktan ka ng nkita mng ksama ko cia, nsaktn ka ng nkta mng msaya ko sa piling nya, nsaktn ka ng malman mng mahal ko cia, wish ko lng ndi ka na masa2ktan, kc ndi mo lng alam ikw tlga mahal ko at ndi cia!!!

2. Wag kang iiyak kahit mahalata mong masaya siya sa piling ng iba. Ni ang malungkot, iwasan mo. Malay mo, hiniling din niyang maging happy ka kahit na alam niyang hindi na pwede kasi wala na siya.

3. Matagal kong tinagong mahal kita. Ginawa ko ang lahat para sayo. Binigay ko na pati puso at kaluluwa ko pero hindi mo pa rin ako napansin. Ang masakit pa dun, nang naglakas loob akong sabihin sayong mahal kita, ang sinabi mo lang, “Ows? Talaga?”

4. hbang nasau ang taong mahal mo, alagaan mo…
wag mo hayaan dmatng un araw na pagcchan mo na nawala na xa, at sbhin ña sa ung,”kaw kc eh, pnabayaan mo ko…”

5. minahal kita noon pero pinabayaan mo. minahal kita ngayon pero binalewala mo, ngayon minahal mo ako, pinakawalan ko,
bakit ngayon mo pa ako minahal, ngayong may mahal na akong iba?

6.kLaN kyA darAtiNg uLit yUnG aRAw na tAyOy mAGkAsaMa mUli?nA tAyOy mAgiGiNg mAsaya At mAmAhAlin Pa rIn aNg iSat isA?mAghIhiNtaY pArin akO…Pro kELen nGa kAya?….aH siGUro pAg nAkAlimUtaN mO nA sIyA…

7. Lam mO hrap pag nwala ung mhal mo.. nakakalungkot, masakit,nakakamiss.. bkt ganun noh? Pgkatapos ng saya ddting din ung time na iiwan ka nia.. dun pa sa part na sobrang mahal mo na siya..

8.Nagseselos ako sa mga taong nagiging malapit sayo. Lalo na at wala ako. Hindi naman sa selfish ako o possessive. Takot lang akong maging masaya ka sa iba at makalimutan mo kung paano kita napasaya.

9.Kapag dumating ang araw na ayaw mo na sakin, sabihin mo lang! Kaya kitang pakawalan. Tatanggapin ko kung yun rin lang. Pero sana hayaan mong yakapin kita habang sinasabi, “Sakin ka babalik, ha. Pag iniwan ka na niya.”

Isang araw umiiyak si Pedro, dahil nahulog ang kanyang hammer.

Napadaan siya sa isang ilog at nakita siya ng isang anghel, naawa sa kanya

Anghel: bkit ka umiiyak?

Pedro: Kasi po nahulog ang hammer ko sa ilog.

Pagkarinig ng anghel, lumusong siya sa ilog at dala ang isang gintong hammer.

Anghel: ito ba?

Pedro : hindi po.

Lumusong ulit ang anghel, at dala ang isang silver na hammer

Anghel: Ito ba?

Pedro: hindi po

Lumusong ulit ang anghel at bitbit na niya ang hammer ni Pedro

Anghel: ito ba?

Pedro: Opo, iyan nga

Sa katuwaan ng anghel, ibinigay niya pati ang gold at silver hammer

Makalipas ang ilang araw.

Si Pedro ay umiiyak ulit dahil nawawala ang kanyang asawa

Anghel: Bkit ka umiiyak?

Pedro: Kasi po nawawala ang asawa ko

Pagkarinig non ay lumusong ang anghel at dala niya si Christine Reyes

Anghel: ito ba ang asawa mo?
