    About this ebook

    Building a nation is more than building bridges and infrastructure. It's about nurturing our self esteem, our pride and our love for our homeland. If there is pride, we will not be indifferent to abuse, corruption and issues that concern our country even if they do not directly affect us. This is the objective of the Filipino Pride Book Project.

      Filipino Pride - Filipino Matters

      "There are so many things that we can be proud of about our country...

      …we just have to know them."

      www.FilipinoMatters.org

      * * * *

      ... This book, The Filipino Pride, is a timely piece of truth. It serves as a reminder of our country’s pride. It reminds us of a number of reasons why we should never stop surviving and succeeding as Filipinos who will always be proud of our country.

      - Joey Concepcion, Presidential Consultant for Entrepreneurship and Founding Trustee, Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship

      * * * *

      You are a Filipino if you are proud to be one! This is the message of this book ... Not everyone nor everything that makes Filipinos models for citizens of other countries is in this book, but this is a giant step towards restoring Filipino pride...

      - Isagani Cruz, Playwright, short-story writer, writing critic, educator, columnist and publisher

      * * * *

      "We all need to be reminded once in a while why we should be proud to be Filipino. Filipino Pride reminds us of what is good and the best in all of us ... the authors remind us that the reasons to be proud reside in all of us, just waiting to be discovered. Filipino Pride is not about discovering the greatness in others, but the greatness in each of us. Not only should this book be on every Filipino shelf, it should be in every Filipino heart!

      - Vincent Lazatin, Executive Director, Transparency & Accountability Network

      * * * *

      We congratulate the authors of the Filipino Pride Book for showcasing wonderful Filipino achievements that makes us proud wherever we are located around the globe. We, as a Filipino race, should never stop loving and believing in the Filipino ingenuity, resourcefulness and national spirit...

      - Gilda Patricia Maquilan, Corporate Communications Manager, Jollibee Foods Corporation

      A must read for every Filipino

      - Felipe Landa Jocano, Philippines Studies Professor Emeritus, University of the Philippines, Filipino anthropologist and historian

      * * * *

      It is a brilliant and patriotic initiative, it highlights the many positive qualities and accomplishments of Filipinos. I would commend this book especially to Pinoys abroad.

      - Bernardo Villegas, Economics Professor, University of Asia and Pacific

      * * * *

      This is a brilliant piece of project illuminating the totality of our past and present Filipino culture and achievements. This work is an effective tool aimed at emancipating the confused minds and feelings of our own youth including second and third generations of Filipinos living abroad whose denial and confusion from knowing their very own root can be substituted with pride and a strong sense of connectivity to our Filipino nation. I therefore commend contributors for this valuable project they have done.

      - Henelito A. Sevilla Jr., Former President, Filipino-Irano Community in Iran; Asian Studies Assistant Professor, University of the Philippines

      * * * *

      Many people volunteer precious time and talents for causes they are passionate about; or simply, because they want to serve ... Filipino Pride exists because the volunteer contributors love our country….For me, this spell hope for the Philippines!

      - Lolita Delgado Fansler, President, Mangyan Heritage Center

      * * * *

      More than instilling Filipino pride, this book serves as an inspiring proof that anybody can contribute something to help build our nation, but we can make a bigger difference if we will choose to work together as a people. This noble project is indeed a product of modern-day bayanihan spirit, a trait that is distinctly and proudly Filipino. It also posts a great challenge to every Filipino to excel and be a source of pride and inspiration to the people around them. May we all be united and always be at our best to help move our country forward. Mabuhay ang Pilipino!

      - Samie Lim, Vice-Chairman, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry
