 WHO ARE THE FILIPINOS?

Choice. Chance. Change. People have their own choices. We are free to make our choices, but we
are not free to choose the consequences, but sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places
and take a chance. Remember that chances are there not just to correct mistakes but are given to prove
that we could be better even after we fall. Don't be afraid to change because it will lead you to a new
beginning. Even though change is hard at first, messy in the middle, but at the end, the actual effect will be
inspiring. Indeed, we are the one who makes our choice to be called as Filipino and it is depends on each
of us on how we value does chances and make a change to the world .
