 Nowadays, the Filipino's spirit of nationalism has seemingly faded away because people get the wrong idea of what "nationalism" is. Merriam Webster's definition of nationalism/patriotism is: loyalty or devotion to a nation.We can show our nationalism through small and simple ways.
You don't have to start a revolution or war to become a nationalistic person, You just have to do the best you can to fight for your rights and make your country proud!Here are some ways to show our patriotism:
  •  Respect the Flag. One way is by singing the national anthem with respect. Respect and reverence to the national flag is a simple way to show your love for the country. 
  • Be in the know.Being updated with the country's issues and projects are also ways to show your nationalism. You can tell your friends and family your opinions and insights. You can also write a blog about a particular issue.
  • Buy our products (Tangkilikin ang sariling atin!): Filipinos tend to buy imported products. Why not try local brands? just cause it's local doesn't mean it's inferior! Buying Filipino made products will help boost our economy.
  • If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! Don't speak ill of our country to others,especially to foreigners. One step to a better country is POSITIVITY!
  • Dispose of your trash properly: Keep our country clean, green and beautiful!                   
As a freshman student and a proud Filipino, I will, in the best ways I can, show my love for the Philippines in the simplest of ways.
