12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country by Alexander Lacson

12 little things by Alexander Lacson is a book that is very timely and practical because it is
comparatively easy to do the suggested 12 little things to help our country. The author strongly
believes that one of the most important things we need today as a people is a beautiful way of
looking at ourselves as Filipinos, a positive and healthy image, a wonderful definition of
ourselves as a people. Loving the Filipino and our Philippines is not only patriotism. There is a
higher reason than that. It is stewardship. It is loving what God has given us. Part 1 / (1-6)

1. Follow traffic rules. Follow the law ▪ Traffic rules are the most basic of our country’s
laws. If we learn to follow them, it could be the lowest form of national discipline we
can develop as a people. A culture of discipline is crucial to our destiny as a nation. ▪
Whenever we follow traffic rules, we show our love for our neighbor, our love for the
Filipino.
2. Always ask for an official receipt ▪ Asking for ORs leads to higher tax collections, which
means more funds for our government, which could strengthen our economy and lead
us to progress. ▪ Whenever we help our government in helping our people, we show our
love for our neighbor.
3. Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy Local. Buy Filipino ▪ Our money should support our
economy, not the economy of other countries. Buying Pilipino means supporting the
Filipino. ▪ Whenever we support one another as Filipinos, we show our love for our
neighbors.
4. Speak positively about us and our country ▪ Every Filipino is an ambassador of our
country. Each one of us, wherever we may be, is a salesman of our country. ▪ Whenever
we speak positively of our people, we show our love for our neighbors.
5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman & other public servants ▪ Respect honors and
dignifies a man. It compels him to do his job right. ▪ There is love for neighbors
whenever we respect those in authority.
6. Throw your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve The Philippines is the
country given to us as a people. It is the birthplace of our race. It is the home of the
Filipino. We should keep it beautiful. ▪ When we keep our environment and our country
clean, we show our love for our people.
