Over 100 years have passed since these words were written, and yet the challenge to us, the Filipino youth, is as
relevant as ever. As young adults on the quest of discovering who we are and who we are meant to be, the role of
nation building has been firmly placed in our hands. Mentors from generations before have done their part in
shaping the nation and are grooming us, the Filipino youth, to be the next change agents.
          In our short stay here, we have witnessed the tragic effects of our nation’s most lamentable social ills: the
orchestrated misuse of government funds, the systemic violation of basic human rights, and the continuous loss of
life and property due to abandonment and greed.
          Through all of these, it has become more and more apparent that our nation needs more Filipinos than
citizens.
          As indigenous peoples' rights advocate Lourie Victor says, “Being Filipino means accepting the beauty and
the madness of this nation.” But more than just accepting its flaws, we are challenged to be the change we want to
see in this nation, because we are indeed the future.
