Question: If given the opportunity, how would you significantly change the Philippines? Change is the only constant in life and it is inevitable. We always ask for a change. Change because it is not good or change because it is bad. To make changes in our own lives requires a process. It is never easy, never been easy. It is a fact that we lack knowledge when it comes to a word “change”. To change the Philippines, we do not need to change our government, our economy, or any of the things that we bark into. The change should start from myself. Before a system, like our state, occur a unit like individual should exist. Like our multi-cellular body, we need to nourish each and every cell to be healthy. Thus, start the change is offering myself to our country through patriotism, the greatest gift that I can offer to my state. And if given the opportunity, I would change us, Filipinos, the way we act, react and especially our ethical values. We keep on practicing bad outlooks that would benefit only ourselves and would detriment others. We continue to exercise the things that would hinder others to attain triumph. We always pay attention to our own opinion and refuse to acknowledge the ideas of others. We always see the bad effects of the projects implemented by our government and not the benefits of it to humanity. We are always hungry for the possessions we want in life and not voracious enough to help others for their needs. Because of this truth, I would like to begin leadership advocating for justice and unity between the government and the people. That instead of the government and the people going against each other, I will encourage transparency and peaceful communication balancing each other’s motives and principles. Lastly, doing my own responsibilities as a patriotic citizen of this country and building a backbone of my own actions because with this, I can be able to prove to myself and even to others that I can be a part of bigger group who will unite to lead and to serve the country towards change.
