To The People Of The Philippines

A tribute to my roots, my native land, just a though of it.

 

People of the Philippines, who they may

Within this world they stood up high

Though medium built, not so tall may be

But the spirit they'd shown was high as the sky

 

No matter what calamity, atrocity they face

They were not easily discouraged, such so strong

Against all odds of life they can withstand with ease

Even to nature's wrath - earhquake,super typhoon

 

Still can smile and in good nature so far

Such beautiful people,wants peace and love

Hard workers, smart, resilient as they are

The trade mark they are proud of

"The Filipino spirit is stronger than any typhoon"...that's right. We stand still. We stay strong. Thanks to other nations who supported us to remain standing.

I just want to suggest Sir, that you may change the pronoun "you" in the first verse since I've found out in your 2nd and third verses that you use the Third Person Point of View (THEY) for the People of the Philippines for parallelism.

Thanks for the share, Sir. I salute you for this great tribute to our countrymen!

You're right Left in the Rain ( dhaye). An err in my part as I'm writing this piece while at work ii ER an emergency came in so I didn't realized it, just only now when you alerted me and in my iphone to check on it. Thank you very much for the correction and I appreciate your review.

Ssshh, Sir...How do you know it's me? LOL.

I think you're too tired. LOL. You still forgot the 2nd and 4th lines

"Within this world *they stood up high

But the spirit *they'd shown was high as the sky."
You're welcome, Sir.

Ba't alam mo that I'm tired? Maybe you have an ESP, but when you work for 12 hrs and in a stressful situation, you'll feel it. But my mind still works, milling some words and had not able to forget your original name. I don't how I did it.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Maybe we just know the person through their words...even if they wear a mask. LOL
Thank you, Sir. Iba talaga yung group natin, no. Di nakakailang mag-suggest, at mag-joke. I wish it's summertime again para complete na uli tayo.

True sir, the Filipino spirit shall not bow down to any typhoon and earthquakes. We are stronger than that. You have well-captured one of the greatest strength of our people. I am also grateful on how the international community has responded to our country's situation.
