12 Little Thing Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country By Alexander Lacson A Summary by Reynold Chua THERE'S a booklet making the rounds in
Metro Manila that every Filipino who loves his country should get hold of and
read, and hopefully put the points it raises into practice, in order to help our
nation...
"Twelve (12) Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country" by
Alexander Ledesma Lacson, may be a "voice in the wilderness"; but as Fr.Ruben
Tanseco, S.J. puts it, what Alex proposes are "very concrete, practical and
doable" actions for us ordinary Filipinos.
A simple enumeration of these "twelve little things" will not Do justice to the
work of Alex. You've got to read the whole text, but I shall try to compress a
few lines for some of the items mentioned.

The desperately unpopular view of our country from an urban curmudgeon
Another year is going by, and as I do each day I am privileged to draw breath, I thank God once again for His funky sense of humor and His attention to detail. Everyday, I find myself thinking: Thank God, I’m a Filipino!
Thank God, I’m a Filipino! Heir to the genius of Rizal, the words of Recto, the spirit of Bonifacio, the diplomacy of Sultan Kudarat, the eloquence of Tañada, the bravery of Sakay and Tandang Sora, the style of Moreno and Natori, the voice of Andion Fernandez, the art of Amorsolo and Manansala, the science of Zara and Velasquez, and the exquisite bounty of nature that we never seem to have logged or polluted to shreds.
Thank God, I’m a Filipino! Vibrantly alive in this vortex of the surreal, where penitents shed blood, decorations are made from rice and nacre, pride in one’s children is broadcast from the trunks of taxi cabs and the mudguards of jeepneys, where people offer you food as a reflex and bow low if they have to pass between two people (or between you and the TV).
