On June 12, it will be the 117th birthday of our beloved country, Pilipinas. Believe it or not, I’m still proud to be a Filipino, ang sarap maging Pilipino. At dahil birthday ng Pilipinas, Jollibee wants us to think of a gift on this special day. Kahit gaano pa yan ka-simple, ang importante ay maipakita natin ang pag-alala natin sa espesyal na araw na ito.
Ang gift ko sa Pilipinas
Ipagpatuloy ang pagtuturo ng kagandahang asal sa aking anak.
Mano, isang paraan ng paggalang sa matatanda
Pagmamano at paggamit ng “po” at “opo”, ilan lamang yan sa mga paraan ng paggalang sa mga nakatatanda. Sometimes, I’m saddened because kids these days don’t know how to use po at opo since they are now versed in English. Wala namang po at opo sa salitang Ingles.
Ipakita sa buong mundo ang kagandahan ng Pilipino at Pilipinas.
Christian and Hong, our friends from Germany
friends we met in Bohol, Magalie and Lauren
Meet our friends we met during our travels. We met Christian and Hong in Hong Kong, and when they came here to visit, we volunteered to show them around and introduce Pinoy food to them. We ate at Aling Tonya’s in Dampa Macapagal Blvd., they loved it and they came back there to eat during the rest of their stay, hanggang bago sila umalis sa airport. Nagustuhan nila ang buttered shrimp at halaan na sinabawan na may halong luya.
The two girls were Magalie and Lauren. We met them in Bohol last September, we bonded over cold San Miguel Beer at our resort and we encouraged them to go back to the Philippines and we’ll be happy to show them around.
Hmmmm, DOT should hire us, what do you think? Kidding, what I’m trying to say is that we should be ambassadors of our country. Ipakita natin na maganda ang Pilipinas at lalong mas magaganda ang mga nakatira dito, Filipino hospitality, ika nga. Let’s show the world that #itsmorefuninthePhilippines.
Suportahan ang gawang Pinoy.
Ika nga ng billboard ng Bench, #lovelocal. Sa totoo lang, mas kampante pa akong magsuot at gamitin ang mga sapatos na gawang Marikina kaysa yung mga made in China. We have a lot of products that are considered world-class. Filipino artists and entrepreneurs have great products that’s why let’s support them to thrive in this competitive business.
Maglakbay sa Pilipinas.
Batanes, Philippines
Philippines has 7,107 islands, more or less. There are 81 provinces, ilan na ang napuntahan mo? Sana kasama sa bucket list mo ang mapuntahan ang ilang lugar sa Pilipinas kesa ang Paris, USA, etc…
Mamang sorbetero in Vigan
In traveling the Philippines, we are also helping the local economies. Dagdag kita yan sa isang sorbertero sa Vigan, o kaya natutulungan mo ang mga livelihood projects sa Pinatubo, etc. Mas masayang isipin na nakakatulong ka sa pag-unlad ng bansa at ng kapwa Pinoy.
Kumain ng pagkaing Pinoy.
Kakain kami sa Jollibee!
Pansit, sinigang, sisig, lechon, kare-kare, empanada, longganisa, kilawin, isama mo pa ang langhap-sarap na Chickenjoy sa Jollibee, Filipino cuisine is a smorgasbord of flavors. Lahat ng lasang hinahanap mo, matitikman mo sa Pilipinas. Ang pansit, may iba-ibang version depende sa lugar. Pati na rin ang longganisa, may Vigan longganisa, Lucban longganisa, chorizo de Cebu, etc. Higit na mas masarap kumain sa hapag kainan dahil kasama mo ang pamilya mo na pinagsasaluhan ang masasarap na pagkaing Pinoy.
Ikaw, anong gift mo sa Pilipinas?

Nice post Ms. Badette, Keep it up!… while, Gwen is so cute and so pretty!
Thank you sis Jennet!
this is so nice… personally, I may not be able to help our country to keep it away from poverty and corruption alone, with these simple things, i know i can still a difference..
thanks for sharing
Jollibee is already part of the Philippine tradition. There is nothing like this in this world. I like how this chain is integrating Filipino values specially to the children. Proud to be PINOY!
This is nice reminder especially with independence day happening this week. Filipinos has a lot of positive traits and beautiful culture and attractions so we should promote and appreciate them.
We can all become ambassadors of the country by promoting the beauty of the Philippines to other nations, and it’s not necessary that we receive payment to do so. That’s when I do whenever I stay in another country. 🙂
lovely photos…yes I agree , dapat ituro uli ang po, opo , pag-mamano….some good manners are not common anymore.:)
Happy birthday Philippines. Oh how I missed you so much. You have a beautiful daughter Sis. I hope to visit that place one day.
Thank you Jessica. Come visit here soon, when was the last time you were here?
