Oh. I never was an illegal citizen either. hehe!
I feel very proud of myself that within this year, I've fulfilled to register myself for the national election next year and I am now also paying my taxes since I am already working in a big company and I have now a PhilHealth..
I couldn't be happier! It's like an achievement for me! ^_^
What have you achieved recently?
I am hoping for everyone's safety all over the world.

Congratulations! Since I was brn I was already a Filipino. But I became a useful citizen when I started paying taxes and served the Filipinos in ways I can. I had volunteered work in education, religion and in health. But now, I am only useful because I send remittances.

Wow good for you!
I think like what you said, if you are exercising your rights of suffrage, then, you are indeed a certified legal citizen of the Philippines!
Because, we know for a fact, that still, many Filipinos, educated or uneducated, doesn't care of their own rights....and when time comes, they complain of the basic services that they receiving coming from the government but they do not ask their selves if they have done something in return to the country, because they don't even vote during election times...

I agree with you. There are still a lot of Filipinos who doesn't give any attention to their rights. Sad but true! 
Now that I can vote, I'll definitely would for who I think will be a good leader (I hope there's still is) and I wouldn't let anyone buy my vote!

Hello Edssss, congratulations to you that you're finally paying your taxes. well, you have to be more careful now a days because not every one is a good person, in fact any dark areas in the cities can be prone to crime. work hard and humble to keep your job and stay there until you get promoted.
