PINOY TO ANO’NG SAY MO?

WHAT IS YOUR CHRISTMAS WISH FOR OUR COUNTRY?

Charisse G. Go – Calgary, Alberta

“I wish for safe holiday season for our country, with no calamities, pollution and traffic. Given that we cannot change our situation, I wish for my countrymen to start the change in their own way through love, virtue and honest hard work.”

Sherwin Esmilla – Calgary, Alberta

“I wish for the Philippine government to give their full support through giving more opportunities for our young men and women to get education & stop illegal drug selling. Ang kabataan ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan (Our Youth is the future of our Nation).”

Josephine Tan-Kong – Calgary, Alberta

“It is so passé to hope for peace and solidarity among each and every one of us but truth be told, this is my ardent wish for all Filipinos. If only we can find the time to look in our hearts and see beyond our flaws and failures, I am certain that we as a nation can achieve anything we desire.”

Sheila Giron-Gaela,- Calgary, Alberta

“My wish for our country is..may all “Pinoys” humbly realize not only our rights but also our “duties” as a citizen, that we may be true to the ideas of freedom, justice and brotherhood. Praying that God will bless our nation, that He may provide our leaders with the wisdom to make decisions that honor God and make the lives of everyone better (especially the poor); and the discernment to do what is right.”

Jenny Ocale – Calgary, Alberta

“I wish continuous blessing be showered to our country so that it will be able to overcome poverty and foster jobs. I also wish for good hearts for every one to see the beauty in all existence. May our countrymen have a well spent quality time with their loved ones…Merry Christmas to all PINOYS!!”
