Present Realities:

Newspapers, almost every day, carry news about entrenched and widening 5ocial inequality,
anemic and erratic economic development, injustice, oppression, violation of human rights that occur
with unacceptable frequency, and widespread problems on illegal drugs and violence. This
depressing narration of events in the country has brought feelings of hopelessness and pessimism
among many Filipinos. The flaws in our democracy have become deeply rooted in the Filipino psyche
and have resulted in a national inferiority complex" or a lack of pride in being Filipin0. Recent data
from leading newspapers reported that around 3,000 Filipinos per day leave the Philippines to work in
other countries to look for greener pastures.

This scenario, therefore, calls for a reawakening of faith in God among Filipinos, as this will also
reawaken hope and optimism among them and move them to take positive action. True faith in God
and not "bahala na will save us. We, Filipinos, feel downtrodden because we have allowed ourselves
to be downtrodden. Only the restoration of hope and trust in God and our pride in being Filipinos
could cure the ills in or our society and redirect our nation's fate.

This feeling of helplessness and pessimism needs to be overcame. A reawakening of faith in God will
definitely restore the Filipinos hope and optimism and will move them to take positive action.
With faith in God comes hope and optimism, and with hope and optimism comes positive

Specific Objectives:

At the end of this exercise, the students should be able to:

English with an American accent is admired, so balikbayan Filipinos who speak in that manner easily
land well- paying jobs in television stations as hosts of talk shows or as newscasters. All these Seem
to indicate the Filipinos' lack of pride in being Filipinos, which may sadly lead to lack of patriotism, and
which, in turn, may lead to grat and corrupt practices, unconcern for the common good, and
unwillingness to serve the community without reward, which may ultimately lead to lack of national
progress.

Promoting patriotism among all Filipino citizens is a must if we want to see social and economic
progress in our country. We do need, very badly, to get every Filipino to think of and seriously care
about the Philippines. Every citizen of our country must be able to identify her or his personal interest
with the weltare and long-term development of our motherland.

1. Give five definitions of the term "patriotism / "nationalism".

2. Trace the influences that led to the development of Dr. Rizal's nationalism.

Pangkalahatan" but it seems that their sacrifices have been in vain. After innumerable victims,
WESTMEAD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

martyrs, heroes and heroines, and changes of leadership, we are now confronted by a nation that is
in the brink of despair at the meager results we have secured thus far. Social inequality is widening,
economic development is too slow, and injustice and violation of human rights occur with
unacceptable frequency. Our political life lurches from crisis to crisis as we seek salvation from leader
to leader, who, in spite of their election-time promises, fail to deliver the desired social progress.
Leaders who have wisdom, compassion, high moral standards, inner strength, and courage will be
essential to achieve the elusive dream of Filipinos to become truly free and progressive as a nation.
Authentic leaders must emerge and be the key to radical social transformation. We expect our
leaders to establish high standards of personal integrity, honesty, and excellence; however, we, too,
must commit ourselves to the adherence to these same high standards.

1. Define the term "leadership".

2. Enumerate the qualities of a good leader.

3. Was Dr. Rizall a good leader? Is he worth emulating? Support your answer.

4. Review the qualities of a good leader and evaluate if you have some or all of the qualities

achieve true freedom and progress in our country?
