Hi there, I am also proud to be a Filipina and I love our country. There are times that I am mistaken as Thai, Japanese and native Mexican but I always tell them that I am Filipina and from the Philippines. My boyfriend is a Belgian guy but it doesn't mean that I want to lose my citizenship. I prefer to live here in our country and I am also teaching him our native language as well.

Love of country must be inherent in a people. Too bad many people will exchange it for the dough. Don't get me wrong here but people give up their citizenship because someplace else had become their land of milk and honey. I say one can work abroad but one must go back to one's God-given land.

I'm proud of being a filipino myself. My family is from Bicol Ragay Camarines Sur and in Naga City. Been there last 2006 and stayed there for a year. I love the people, I have been to Wowowee and enjoy the entertainment that Willie Revillames brings to our people. Our world's best boxing champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao gives us hope that there is victory, Charise Pempengco has made a worldwide impact with her beautiful voice to sing and was able to see her in person. Life is good in the Philippines and yes I love being pinoy.

Of course I am proud of my nationality. I am so proud to be American. This country is a great country that was founded on great morals. The day I am not proud of the USA will be a sad day, because it would take so much for me to not be proud of this wonderful country. I am extremely patriotic and love my country.

Hi there..I am canadian and very proud of it. I may not always like the things our government does but not everyone is going to like everything. Overall, Canada is a great free country to live in, I would rather live here then in one of the war torn countries, always having to worry..

I live in the United States, and like all countries, we have made our share of mistakes. This country, though, I am very proud to be a citizen here. I am proud of our core values and of our willingness to reach out to one another in times of need, as well as our tendency to reach out to those throughout the world.
