Our predecessors, in my own opinion, are naturally industrious, but because of various factors affecting their social, emotional and physical disposition, they tend to experience the goodness of leisure. If Spaniards haven’t conquered us in the first place, we could be one of the First World Countries for we won’t be suffering from restrained international trades, personal developments and won’t be burdened by vociferous regulations and unreasonable injustices such as unjust taxes, derisive interactions with them and forced labor.
Rizal made a great point about the reasons of our ancestors’ being ‘indolent’ for sometimes brought by the stern setting they were engaged in before. His suggestions, however, can be reckoned with sky-scraping infeasibility because the system running amidst every sector of the society. Others are close-minded to the fact that they’ve been used to have employees that even they’re just sitting in one corner, they’re still earning. The problem is on the education system and the equal distribution of resources that must be shared to those who need them to guarantee their existence. But, if these conditions are in the concept of equity, business tycoons might deserve their owned properties due to the capital and effort they’ve spent on their establishment but originally, nature is not man’s creation so resource partitioning must also be subjected to humans. Pathetic are those who haven’t acquired any knowledge and skills that they can’t progress side by side with other golden-spooned families.
In terms of indoctrinating national sentiments to Filipinos, we are bound by colonial mentality that we advocate other culture and migrating to places just for income – a sacrifice it is but something can be done here in the Philippines if and only if the government provides great number of employments and good salary with outstanding benefits. With these things, Philippines won’t be teemed with sluggish and inferior people but rather prosperous and educated citizens.

ReplyDeleteYes! Im in... as an officially declared aspirant...
I thought being an exemplar would be not so hard at all, but my expectations failed me. When I became an honorary member of Ateneo Paradigm Eclat Xircle (APEX), I was then so excited to attend our practices and meetings as major preparations for the past Pintakasi 2011. It was not just about my inclination towards entertainment which kept on motivating me to be on their sights whenever certain circumstances call for my presence, but rather the in seeing my new circle of friends – ang mga “kalog” na exemplars!
Just when I thought things will be as ordinary as assumed, everything changed when I aimed for higher position in that organization. It is even more difficult than my current PEDS004 subject...hha... The exemplars have many requirements and tricky tests, which I supposed to be so trivial prerequisites... They want to add more members in their group, but why would they put hindrances in each aspirant's way? Aha! Want to be equal with other pioneers who did the same terrible services to all of you or is it the true principles of APEX and formation that count the most? Don't get mad, I know it's the second one.
How I wish to turn back the time for me to inquire about the things you and your towering conglomeration have already accomplished in making this world a better place to live...hhe... Peace!hhe...
Okay! Actually, whenever someone says not to do these kind of stuffs 'coz you are not telling so, but witnessing with my eyes that you're executing them at the moment, I reckoned it as stupid comments that triggered compulsive thoughts regarding the composition of your organization. Discipline? I don't think so!
Finally, I hate being reprimanded, being punished for the things that I consider so pety and forgivable at a single glance. But to tell you, my dearest exemplars, I am now a better individual due to your principles, formations, services, games and the lifetime camaraderie that springs dictated by a common goal. TY. GB.
I WILL BE AN EXEMPLAR!
