Growing up, many people would ask me, βParang may lahi ka?β because of how I look. But my answer has always been simple
βNot half this, not half that just proudly Filipino.β
On a day that reminds us of who we are as a nation, I am reminded that being Filipino is not measured by appearance, surname, or foreign ancestry. It is found in our values, our resilience, and the pride we carry for our people and culture.
The Philippines is home to countless identities, languages, and traditions. Whether you are Kalinga, Ibanag, Bisaya, Ilocano, Tagalog, or from any other community, your roots are worth celebrating.
Today, I honor the stories, sacrifices, and heritage that make us who we are.
Proudly Filipino. Proudly Kalinga. π΅π
