We overseas Filipinos are oftentimes our own worst enemy. We distrust each other; we warn foreigners to be wary of Filipinos when they travel to the Philippines; we view our country's technical expertise as always sub-standard and never up to par, and we make fun of the way Pinoys do things.
In other words, we Filipinos always see
the glass as half-empty when it comes to our country and its people.
It's time we all started seeing it as half-full! It is time we started
respecting one-another and telling our foreign friends
Which brings us back to Manny Paquiao, who worked hard and won fair-and-square...not just for himself, but for Filipinos everywhere. So we say: "Mabuhay ka Manny Paquiao!" and "mabuhay ang Pilipinas!"
We'd like to

we
ask ourselves: can his victory unite us in pride and respect for one
another? 
the
great and wonderful things you can find only in the Philippines. This
all may seem a bit Pollyannaish at times, but hey! we've been selling
our country short for so long, it's time we started doing the opposite.
