Proud Pinoys Post Their Answers!

Thank you to everyone who gave an answer to the question I posted last Independence Day. It was a simple and yet profound question that all Pinoys should ask themselves – “what is the one thing that makes you proud to be a Filipino?” And I’m so happy to say that 118 of you took time to answer it!
I really had a great time reading all the answers and one thing I noticed which made me realize something, I only asked for one thing that makes us proud to be Pinoys and yet a lot of you gave more than one answer. It’s not that you didn’t follow instructions, but I believe it’s more because there was really more than just one reason for us to be proud of who we are! We really should learn to always count our blessings.
Speaking of blessings, I would like to congratulate Sparkspill for getting the best answer (since it was for Independence Day, I decided to be democratic and let everyone vote for it). I didn’t announce this before but I’m feeling extra generous lately so for giving the best answer, I’m sending Sparkspill some Yahoo! gifts as prize for his answer! Congrats Sparkspill, make sure you reply to my email and I’ll send the stuff right away.
To everyone else, don’t you worry because this won’t be the last time this happens. I’ll be giving away prizes every now and then and will keep you informed about it. Again, thank you so much for all your answers. So let’s all continue to be active in asking and answering questions posted by our fellow Pinoys. The successful Independence Day feature only goes to show that the Pinoy community is really growing in number and in activity here in Yahoo! Answers. Which makes me think, is it time to have a Pinoy community meet up soon? Hmm, what do you all think?

Ay ay ay! Ako hindi ako nakasagot! Nalimutan ko! Lol!
So is it too late if I answer here? Heck I’ll answer anyway…
I’m proud that Balut has made its way to mainstream US television… as an exotic food challenge on Fear Factor and Amazing Race. Yum! Lol
I’m sad like that. I think of food all the time.
About the Pinoy community meet… please please please don’t forget meeeeee! ^_^
waaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
ngayon lang poh ako naging member..sorry at hindi ako nakapagpost nang comment..pwede ngayon nalang?
all i can say is that the Philippine Independence Day is a strong evidence that Filipinos are strong spirited citizens that are willing to die for their country for the sake of freedom..just like any other countries but i know we are far superior than them when it comes to will and determination as the Filipino is NEVER inferior to any other man in any other race.
wooohhoooo…
naubos ang english ko!!
hahaha..
You’re welcome Jonas & congratulations to Sparkspill. Nice picture, hellochris!
Anyway, there were indeed 118 total answers, but in my list of answers, it says that there were 120 answers. So maybe 2 answers got deleted.
Mabuhay Pilipinas!
How unfortunate that I wasn’t able to answer the question.
Anyways, thanks to Japs for posting the link to Jonas’ question and to this blog.
Today is the Philippine’s National Hero’s birthday. What is a fitting tribute and question that can be featured here at this blog and at Y!A Travel Asia Pacific Philippines (YAP) to commemorate Jose Rizal’s heroism?
I wish that the same or more number of answerers to Jonas’ question also participate regularly at YAP so that there will be more helpful input from the Filipino Community at Y!A. And I also wish there were more YAP members who know about this blog site.
I have 2 questions, by the way, that some may want to answer.

@Iggy Javellana – Thanks for sharing that Iggy, better late than never.
Don’t worry, I’ll be informing you and everyone when and where we’ll have our meet up! 
@Sire_Mam – Naubos ba, mukha namang sakto lang, hehehe!:D Thanks so much for sharing your answer, like I told Iggy, better late than never!
@Japs – Many thanks again Japs! I thought I saw 120 too, hehehe, you’re probably right.
what are the limitations of computer?
@shirley g – Thanks for the comment and for the reminder of Jose Rizal’s birthday! Great questions by the way, I especially like the question on “what makes a Filipino un-Filipino?” I’m glad you received a good number of answers. I’m just wondering why you’re asking in the Australia Answers site, maybe you should regularly ask in Yahoo! Philippines Answers.
