    The Filipino Youth of Today


    By: Ellaiza Mae T. Gravanza

    We are now existing in a modern world – a world where morals are slowly decaying. I
    agree that this generation is somehow proud of being “Pinoy”, however their nationalism
    had been gone. Gone are the days when Filipinos admire the locals. Gone are the good
    old days when the youth cherishes their homeland. This! Historical period is truly
    affecting the individuals.

    Years ago, when I always watch my neighborhood, I could see kids playing Filipino
    games such as tumbang preso, luksong tinik, patintero, Chinese garter and so much
    more with smiles plastered on their faces. Even though how envious I was of the thing
    called fun they had, atleast they had lived the Filipino’s way.

    Nowadays, what do kids do? From cellphones to laptops, Xbox to iPods; the system of
    technology is slowly eating their senses! If too much love can kill, then too much
    technology can wreak havoc! And just like any form of influence, it made them sit all
    day, worshipping the virtual world, where Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are a must.

    Life’s essence is not always about the everyday trends. It is about how our spirit is
    burning to resist the impact of modernization. We are not just Filipinos by blood – we
    are Filipinos carrying the value of the Pearl of the Orient Seas to always make a
    difference to prove other nations that their judgements are wrong. So instead of
    disputing, we should rather widen their narrow minds that we are not only good in
    abrasive ways but we do have intelligence, abilities, and skills which are better than the
    yesteryears.

    Remember our national heroes did not sacrifice their blood for nothing. Now is the time
    to stop the improper habits and replace it with proper ones as to always accept the
    differences of individuals. Live and imprint in your minds that he who does not look back
    from where he came will never reach his destination.

    We must not then fail the hard works of our victors. Instead, we should resolve the
    broken roads to raise again the pride of our nation for each trial we tackle molds us to
    be ready to face the bygones. Aim high and strive for improvement because no matter
    what happens, the future lies in our hands.

    Face to face, heart to heart and soul to soul. We, the Filipino youth of today, are the
    backbone of this land I call, Philippines.
