Ano nga ba ang Tatak Pinoy o Tatak Pilipino? Tila wala naman yata tayong sariling tatak o pagkaka-kilanlan bilang isang bansa dahil sa mga napakaraming impluwensiya natin.

What is the essence of a Filipino? It seems that we don’t have our own character as a people, as a distinct nation because we are the product of so many influences of different cultures and belief systems.

Pero sa kabila nito, dapat nating ipagmalaki ang ating mga naging ninuno, na sa kabila ng payak nilang pamumuhay, naging masigasig at malikhain sila.

Despite this, we should be proud of our Filipino ancestors, who despite their basic and simple way of living, they showed perseverance and creativity.

Bahay kubo, simbolo ng payak na pamumuhay. Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, minsan, naiisip ko talaga na mabuti pa nung araw, kahit payak ang pamumuhay, tila ba mas masaya ang mga tao noon. Ilan pa kaya ang natitirang bahay kubo sa dami ng mga naibentang lupa sa kawalan ng pagkukunan ng salapi?

The Nipa Hut, a symbol of basic living. With the hardships we are experiencing right now, I sometimes think about the past when needs were very basic and simple and it seemed that people were nonetheless happy. How many nipa huts are still out there because lands have been sold due to lack of money?
