On an American Idol show...Ryan Seacrest: How do you do? Now how you you say that in the language?
Ramiele Malubay: Kamusta ka?
RS: (imitates) Kamusta ka?
RM: Mabuti.
RS: Muy Bien.
(crowd laughs)
It made my heart skip a beat. I heard the Filipino language in an international show. And its not just any show, its American Idol! It felt never more proud than to have a Filipina end as one of the finalists and who to our delight, is a judge and crowd favorite! And to hear our very own language on foreign shows brings warm feelings to me. Indeed, Filipinos are being distinguished for thier fields worldwide, and the culture that they have grown up with is something worth being proud for.
Apart from the endless inquisitions this country is facing, its but relieving to know that most Filipinos are up to. What they want. What they want to achieve. What makes them happy and satisfied. What makes the country a safe place to thrive. What ensures the future generations. The populace has raised their voice not to perpetrate the constitution, but to ensure the people at power are abiding the rules. The use of violence are at bay, for faith and atonement for the country's betterment are the main weapons of democracy.
Those things are just... well, a few reasons worth being patriotic for...
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
