loving one's country

i learned a not-so-new thing at church yesterday.

we [Filipinos] have an overdeveloped sense of right and an underdevelop sense of duty. we are a shame-oriented people, not a guilt-oriented people.
- bishop efraim tendero

how true. in times of crisis, what we think about is our own safety, that it is our RIGHT to live in a peaceful country. but what are we doing FOR our country?

i guess the Philippines needs us now more than ever. let us do our DUTY, we can start by praying for this country we call our own.
