a story on ‘the FiLipino resiLience’

posted: Oct 24 at 1:34 pm | fiLed: inspirationaL, re-post | 593 words

engLish transLation ▼

Kanina, nakasakay ako sa jeep, tapos nakasagasa kami.

NakakaguLat. Nung una hindi ko aLam kung anong nangyari. Bumaba yung driver, tinayo yung mamang nasagasaan niya. Hindi makatayo yung mama. Nakakakaba, hindi mo aLam kung anong gagawin mo. Maya-maya, tumayo rin siya. Lasing pala. Hindi naman siya sobrang nasagasaan, medyo nasagi Lang. Tapos parang waLa Lang nangyari. Nagtawanan pa yung mga tao. “Lasing paLa eh. Bigyan niyo pa yan ng gin!” Parang waLa Lang taLaga. UmaLis din yung mama, tapos tumakbo na uLit yung jeep.

Iba taLaga ang Pinoy. Ang tibay.

Kaninang umaga may nabasa akong articLe sa dyaryo. “The FiLipino ResiLience” ni Conrado de Quiros. Pwede niyo basahin dito. Sabi niya, may daLawang mukha ang resiLience. Ang mga PiLipino sobrang tibay. Binagyo na’t Lahat Lahat, nakangiti pa rin. Nasagasaan na, tumatawa pa. Sa kabiLang banda, nakangiti siya kasi sanay na sa kahirapan. WaLa Lang, sanay na eh. Okay Lang din maabuso, mahirap naman na taLaga ang buhay umpisa pa Lang. Okay Lang masagasaan, buhay pa naman eh.

Kung sa ibang bansa siguro nangyari yung nasaksihan ko kanina, siguro nagkademandahan na. Pero PiLipinas to eh. Tiis na Lang.. Matiisin, mapagpasensya, mapagpatawad - Pinoy na Pinoy.

NakakaLungkot. Tama si de Quiros, “Maybe it’s time the FiLipino stopped being resiLient. Maybe it’s time he got bLoody furious.” Maganda maging matiisin. Maganda, kahangahanga, pero minsan hindi na tama. Minsan dapat marunong ka Lumaban. LaLo na kung aLam mong tama naman ang pinagLaLaban mo.

PS: I suck at writing in FiLipino because I can arrange my thoughts better in English and I Lack practice. This is my first serious FiLipino post, so pLease forgive me. Hahaha ~

    tama tama. di kasi masyadong sinesryoso ng mga pinoy ang problema. ayun. hehe.

    minsan nga mas maganda ang english kesa tagalog. pero pag english minsan di mu maexpress ang thoughts mu. pero mag tagalog, mahirap itagalog ang ibang english words. magulo. haha.

    I agree. We always show that it is alright though it really isn’t. It’s really about time to be bloody furious XD Lumaban ka pinoy! Hindi puwede ang bahala na sa mga problema. Sinosolusyonan, hindi tinatawanan. Right?

    I read all your blog entries and i enjoyed most of it. You should keep it up. Your blog is so cute and girly! It’s personal, but still very touching, educational and inspiring. Hindi tulad ng iba, puro nonesense. Meron ka pang mga fun posts. I admire you ^_^ Good job on this. God bless Ms. Kei. ~

    Hi! It’s my first time here :D hehee Man, this was discussed in my Filipino subject in first year here and it’s really like that. Filipinos simply view it as something ordinary and they take it. This is why they have smiles on their faces even when they have lost everything.

    And don’t worry, am bad at writing filipino… XD haha

    very true! my mom also said the same thing, that the Filipinos are very resilient. Even when Ondoy left a damage they just smile and laugh especially when they know that they’re on television, they wave their hands and laugh despite the fact that they’re like in the midst of chaos. =)

    LOL that’s okay, I’m bad at writing and UNDERSTANDING Filipino XD I sometimes don’t understand some words ^^~ XD

    That is true. Iba talaga ang pinoy! Para sa atin siguro, walang sense kung magmumokmok ka sa tabi. Ewan ko ba! There is just something in the Filipinos that makes me admire them, talking as a foreigner. Hahaha.. Kaya nga I’m proud to be a Filipino, e.

    But yeah, tama! Kailangan din lumaban tayo, kahit paminsan-minsan lang.

    Agree! Matiis at mabait talaga ang Pinoy pero minsan sobra na. *swt*
    Cguro nga dapat bawas-bawasan natin yun. :) Pero dapat fight pa rin~ :D
