 We are responsible to
cancel out people who
fail to show
compassion to our
countrymen. There is
no place for human
rights violator in our
country. We need to
speak for those who
cannot speak for
themselves and fight
for their rights.

for own desire.

OVERALL INTERPRETATION:
Filipinos must always show how much they value their motherland. But a person who loved
his homeland will also love his compatriots. We do not have to be ashamed of how we look
and what shade of our skin. Being brown pr white would not make us superior. Our color will
never define how worthy we are to gain respect. We always have to be reminded that to have a
peaceful country is to have fair treatment for all citizens. People do not need to stay resilient.
We have the right to fight for our rights as citizens of the Philippines. We use our voice for
people who cannot do it for themselves. Women are meant to be the mother of the children,
the country's hope. We shall always pay respect for our mothers because they have the most
conditional love we can ever have in this lifetime. Chivalry must be a simple act for them that
does not need to be so hard to get. Men need to understand that women are to keep not to toy.
In family quarrels, always choose understanding than pride. Do not ruin a home to build your
own home because that is immoral. We always have to select morality than sin. We may not
choose the path that leads us to regret in the end.
