Picture from a Nationalistic Filipino

By: Trenton Tan

          A simple yet meaningful way in which one can show Philippine nationalism. Something anyone and everyone can do to show their love for the Philippines. By patronizing products of our country, we Filipinos can show our love and our support for our country - the Philippines. Whenever we buy products made in the Philippines, we show that we have faith in the products of our country, that we believe in what our country's products can do because if we did not, we would not have bought it. When we buy Filipino products, we help boost the economy of the Philippines because we the money we spend goes back to our country; it keeps the money circulating within your country.

          We also increase local employment and at the same time help support people's jobs because the Filipino sellers earn money meaning we help in sustaining their jobs and we help grow their businesses which will increase employment. Also, when we buy our country's own products, we encourage more people to produce items locally, this in turn will lessen the need to import things from other countries and help our economy to grow. Buying locally produced or locally made products may be a small thing on our part, but it may have a very big effect on our country. In our own small, little ways, we can show nationalism; we can show love for the Philippines; we can show support for the Philippines; we can show some concern and care for the Philippines. All of this we Filipinos can do simply just by buying products that were made in the Philippines.
