Do you love your country?

although Philippines is not the most modern or among the most civilized country, I'm still proud to be a Filipino. We are patient, diligent at work and very hospitable. Its fun living and traveling through the numerous islands here. Probably being proud Filipino and continuously showing people what true Filipino blood is could be the best way for me to show my patriotism towards my native land.

Too much that I have never entertained the idea of living in another country. It may not be a perfect place but for me it isn't the physical things that really matter, it is our culture and values that bind me to this place. I can't imagine spending my Christmas or New Year in another country. I don't want to miss the Holy Week Celebration, the All Soul's Day, Fiestas and so on. I love this place...it's my home and home is where the heart is.

Yes, I am very proud of being British, which sadly is not a common feeling here in recent years.

Yes I love the Philippines. It is good to finally have a movie like that to promote oneness in a country. We tend to be more regionalistic and that's what I hate sometimes. And then we also prefer English or America. My God! How colonial minded can we still be even to this day and age! I show patriotism/nationalism whenever I can, through discussions and such. Even the issue of having 4 people in a car on EDSA that I discussed about is one of the ways I did it. I commented on the issue when I saw an FB friend's status about it. Very few who owns private vehicles would love the idea of course. They are the ones who will voice out their violent reactions instead of even thinking of trying carpooling. Most of us just love to complain whenever there is something new that might help improve our country. Anyway, huhuu, I wonder when I'll get to watch the movie though. I still haven't seen it in a theater. I hope it will still be around this week. Somebody should take me out to watch it!

That's something that most of us won't know unless we are put to the test. Who knows if we'd be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice? I'm proud to be English, and though I travel frequently, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Absolutely. I lived abroad for a few years and I have to say that was the time when I felt most patriotic. I guess it's that responsibility of portraying a good image of the country to other people, and I often reminded myself that I was a mini-ambassador of my country wherever I go. My friends and I organized a Malaysian fest to promote the food, culture and tourism - I consider that a small but meaningful way of showing the love for my country.

I think you mean the movie about General Luna. My son watched it and all praises to the film. I think not all have the same level of nationalism. While many love their country... not all of them are willing to die for their country.

If you are asking about me loving India, not really. But if you are asking me to lay down my life for my country I will. You see, I owe it at least that much. Love does not figure there, because to love it, I must love its people. There are many I don't. To love it, I must love its laws and culture. I don't. And I feel helpless in doing anything about it. I can only do what is my duty.

This thought has never occurred to me. I am born here and one thing is certain I love mylife.

I can't say I'm a patriot to the depth of my heart. if I had a possibility to leave somewhere else where I would be offered a better future than I would definitely do it

Yes,very much.You can see it by my action,action speaks louder than words,I love and proud being a Filipino and so love this country that I have grown. I've never been to a place abroad but whenever I get a chance to live there I still choose to be here for this was the land given to me,this is the land I grow up and become a witness of all my happiness and struggles in life. Love my country with all my heart.

I love my country. Our fellowmen can show their love to Philippines by simply following rules everyday and stop whinning on social media sites

@Beatburn,I am an Indian and am proud to be an Indian.Don't know how I can show how much I love my motherland.All I can say,I leave no opportunity to make my country more honest,more beautiful,cleaner and more peaceful.My friends and myself have made a society here.We take a pledge to be as honest to ourselves as possible.We are trying to make our town cleaner.We have already planted more than 1000 tress in all available places,such as temples,churches,grave yards,schools,atop the hillock at the outskirts of our town and everywhere we are allowed to by the municipality.We teach poor,under priviledged students and try to get them admitted in schools.And all this we do for our beloved country.We immensely love our country,our languages,our culture.

Yes, I love my country, we are by no means a perfect country and we have a lot of problems, but, we have a great sense of humour, we are stubborn and tough. I am also proud of our sportsmen and women, and I gladly tell of that. :-)

I love my country and that it has stood for freedom for so many years. I think that these days, some of that vision has been lost and it saddens me to see my country losing that firm belief in the rights of the individual.

Hard question to answer, I guess in many ways yes, but I would rather be somewhere else instead.

We don't necessarily have to die just to show how much we love our country . By speaking our national language even if one have stayed abroad already for many years , whenever he /she visits her native land is one way of showing how much you love your country . But i wonder why some Filipinos who were able to go abroad , comes home speaking in English already . Hypocrites ! I hate them .

I like how you wrote that "against America" The history books write it up as "signing of the Treaty of Manila, which granted Philippine Independence". I read that American Flag signaled possession from 1898 to 1946 until Japan took possession between 1941 to 1945. The map changed with Canada too in 1812.

I love American and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I'm sure most people feel that way about the country where they live.

I love both my countries, the country of my birth and the one I am now a citizen of. I show my patriotism by voting at every election, and taking part in anything that celebrates my country
