I am a Filipino, who live and breathe in this country of paradise Philippines.

I am a successor of the past of our mighty heroes who made their sacrifice for our
freedom. I carry the torch of hope, justice and love.
I am a crusader for democracy and a believer of free speech. I stand for our beliefs
and principles. I fight for the right and oppose the wrong. I am the embodiment of
freedom, equality and peace.
I am an agent of change, for the country and for the whole world.
I stand before you to speak for democracy, my heroes died for, the unfortunate and
unjust strive for, and the present and even the future generations endeavor. Honor
and dignity flow in my blood and my heart beats for freedom.
Though the agony lasted for a number of years, from the Spanish colonizers to the
Second World War, the seed of democracy in my country began to take root and
sprouted to grow.
However, I can see the pictures of my mother land in reality at the present.
Poverty reigns most in the society.
Women and children sell their flesh just to earn money.
Human rights violations are committed.
Inequality governs each family.
Disorder gives birth at a time.
Betrayal Forms undeniably in the government.
My dear friends look at our land!
Wake-up!
As Filipinos, Is this what you really want to see?
The twilight we shed should be over.
We must witness another sun to rise, for in every ending starts a new beginning.
Yes! I truly speak for democracy! I am what I say, what I think and what I do.
Together, we stand as a nation, and together we can make Democracy a living
legacy- not to be subverted but to be protected and preserved.
