The Anatomy of a Filipino
by Prof. Felix Bautista
All: I like to think that I am a Filipino, that I am as
Good, a Filipino as Anyone.
Girls: My heart thrills, when, I Hear, the National
anthem, being played.
Boys: And my Blood Rises, when, I see our flag,
Fluttering in the breeze.
All: And Yet, I find myself asking, How Filipino Am
I, Really?
Boys: My First Name is American.
Girls: My Last Name Is Chinese.
Boys: When I’ am with Girlfriends or more
correctly, when, I’ am with my Friends,
who happen to be girls- I talk to them in
English.
Girls: If they are thirsty, I buy them, a Bottle
of American coke.
Boys: If they are hungry, I treat them, to an
Italian Pizza pie.
All: And when I have the money, I give them
a real Chinese Lauriat.
Boy (solo): Considering all these, considering my
taste, for many things foreign, what right do I
have, to call myself, a Filipino?
