More Than Just A Shirt

Thursday, October 15, 2009



I am Ninoy? 3 Stars and A Sun? Team Manila? I know what you’re thinking, “astig magsuot ng ganun.”


When you see your friend wearing a 3 Stars and A Sun shirt, the first thing you’ll ask is, “UY! Orig ba yan?” What if you ask someone wearing that shirt, “Orig ba yang pagsuot mo niyan?”


The 3 Stars and A Sun shirt symbolize our Philippine flag. That means if you wear one, you are brandishing the honor of our country.


But what if you do wear, one big and proud, and still litter across the streets? Do you think it’s still counted as “honor” for our country?

Wearing statements shirts like “I Am Ninoy” or “Pilipino Ako”, should not just be for “porma” and “pogi points”. Because if you wear one, it is like you are telling everyone a statement. You are telling everyone that you’re a Filipino and you’re proud to be one, that you’ll do whatever it takes to make your “Inang Bayan” proud.

Now the real question is, are your motives original or fake?


If you want to buy a 3 Stars and A Sun shirt, think about the real deal or the reasons why do you want to have that shirt. Is it because celebrities or the popular kids in your school wear it? Or, is it because you are proud to be a pinoy? If you’re reason is “oo! I’m proud to be pinoy,” then please, act as if you really are! Think about ways on how to make our country a better place. It doesn’t have to be extravagant whatsoever. A simple pledge or consideration will do for now.

Practice what you preach was so last season. But now, practice what you wear.

it was okay, but it would be better if it's longer.

Could have been longer but I think it's enough for this situation. Anyway, I liked the question "orig ba ang pagsuot mo?" However, there are better ways to stress your points. Saka okay din if you interviewed people who wear shirts like this. Tanong mo kung "orig ba ang pagsuot" nila.

6/10.

You could have stressed your points more if the article wasn't this short.

It is short but meaningful. I think it's already enough to point out the thought that the writer tends to display.
