Book Review

To be honest, I am not really that excited to read it at first. I was like "Filipinos can change the world? Really?" and I was astounded when I found out that this book is written by a foreigner, an Irish to be specific. Every reason was discussed briefly but the thought was still there. He even discussed a part of the Philippine history. And to think that a foreigner wrote it, I can say he is very observant and he really knew Filipinos. It is maybe because he stayed here for quite a long time now. 

I was smiling the entire time that I read the book since as a Filipino, I know that all of the reasons he shared are true. I know because I can tell that I also do those things and I have those traits as a Filipino. With that I can already tell that this book is effective. As I read this book and rediscover why I am unique as a Filipino, I can agree that Filipinos really can change the world. The author even believes that living in the Philippines makes him a better person. If he sees the good in us, then why can't we? We should also see the good in us, being a Filipino, and we shouldn't be ashamed to be one. 

I asked my cousin who lives in the U.S for almost 10 years now on why is she proud to be a Filipino and she answered, "I am proud to be a Filipino because of the so many characteristics that define us such as being hospitable, helpful, cheerful, industrious, optimistic and a lot more. And we've been proven these characteristics from our people in our history." I didn't say anything to her. I just asked her that question and I told her it is something for my blog. It surprised me that her answer has connections with the 7 Filipino values that I read from the book. I can say she is indeed proud as a Filipino just as I do.

I highly recommend this book for everyone especially for us, Filipinos. This book can possibly change your thinking in being a Filipino. It can remind you what Filipinos are known for. This book is so worth it. So for my dear Filipino readers, let me ask you.

Are you proud to be a Filipino? Why?

Lastly, I would like to thank the author, Mike Grogan, for writing an inspirational book dedicated for Filipinos and for seeing the good in every Filipino. Also, I would like to thank him and Ms. Mary for sending this book and trusting me. I do appreciate it very much.
