The Anatomy of a Filipino
The anatomy of a Filipino by Prof. Felix Bautista talks about what it takes to be classified as a Filipino and how Filipino can one be? Also would it really matter if ever we are from a different race and has different a name?
The poem the Anatomy of a Filipino starts by a changing of lines from boys to girls and girls to boys. Those students saying stuff about being a Filipino aren’t exactly a born Filipino. It includes racial differences, having foreign names, being a foreigner born in the Philippines.
Examples of the said qualities in the Anatomy of a Filipino:
- Some have an American First Name
- Some has a Chinese Last Name
- They speak in English
- They buy foreign products
- They eat foreign cooking
But amidst those qualities that they have, are they short on being a Filipino? In order to become a full-pledged Filipino do we have to be strictly bound to our limitations? Is being a Filipino only mean:
- Being born in the Philippines
- Buying all local products
- Using a local instrument for music
- Painting only with local materials
These products-things that we produce as a Filipino were meant to be used from the way or our liking and needs, as it also has a variety of its own. Being fully bound to serving only us Filipinos will only make us close minded and not amiable to accept other foreign things.
In order for us to call ourselves a Filipino we must:
- Wear our Flag and country with pride
- Have a good heart
- Immeasurable love for our people and country
