A True Filipino Citizen

What it is to be a true Filipino Citizen? Do you have to die like Jose Rizal to save the country? Or do you have to fight like Andress Bonifacio against the differences of the country? Well for me, to be a citizen, it does not have to be so heroic.

We can be a citizen of the country by simply showing some concern for the country. Of course, we also have to act in order to correct or solve the problems of the country. I'm not talking about the big issues here like, poverty, corruption and such things. What I'm saying is that we can be a true citizen by simply helping in our own small ways. As I said before, showing some concern is being a citizen. Speaking as a student, we can start by making improvements in our area like giving suggestions to the authority about anything that will benefit many people. Like infrastructure problems in our baranggay. Cemented roads are helpful not only for smoother travel but also in minimizing muds and flood.

These things I mentioned was only an example of how we can be a true citizen. I also pointed out that even as a student we can make small differences for the better of our country. In conclusion, to be a true citizen of our country is not hard, by simply showing concern and determination to solve small problems of the country is already being a citizen.
