 ESSAY
The story allows you to start your journey in identifying and understanding yourself being a Filipino.You
will learn to discover your true essence for having such kind of qualities.
Carlos P. Romulo is a writer, a lecturer and a journalist. He was elected as the first Asian Filipino who
holds the prestigious position.

I Am a Filipino
Carlos P. Romulo

I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such I must prove equal to a
two-fold task–the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to
the future.

I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the
centuries the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that
were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and
the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free abundance of new land that was
to be their home and their children’s forever.

This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and
mountain that beckoned to them with a green-and-purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their
view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living and the fruitfulness of commerce, is
a hallowed spot to me.

By the strength of their hearts and hands, by every right of law, human and divine, this land and all the
appurtenances thereof–the black and fertile soil, the seas and lakes and rivers teeming with fish, the forests
with their inexhaustible wealth in wild life and timber, the mountains with their bowels swollen with
minerals–the whole of this rich and happy land has been, for centuries without number, the land of my
fathers. This land I received in trust from them and in trust will pass it to my children, and so on until the
world is no more.

I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes–seed that flowered down the centuries in
deeds of courage and defiance. In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to battle
against the first invader of this land that nerved Lakandula in the combat against the alien foe that drove
Diego Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.

That seed is immortal. It is the self-same seed that flowered in the heart of Jose Rizal that morning in
Bagumbayan when a volley of shots put an end to all that was mortal of him and made his spirit deathless
forever, the same that flowered in the hearts of Bonifacio in Balintawak, of Gergorio del Pilar at Tirad Pass,
of Antonio Luna at Calumpit; that bloomed in flowers of frustration in the sad heart of Emilio Aguinaldo at
Palanan, and yet burst fourth royally again in the proud heart of Manuel L. Quezon when he stood at last on
the threshold of ancient Malacañan Palace, in the symbolic act of possession and racial vindication.

The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my manhood, the symbol of dignity as a
human being. Like the seeds that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand years ago,
it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the insignia of my race, and my generation is but a stage
in the unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.

I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The East, with its languor and mysticism, its
passivity and endurance, was my mother, and my sire was the West that came thundering across the seas
with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of the East, an eager participant in its spirit, and in its
struggles for liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East must awake from its
centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has bound his limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.

For I, too, am of the West, and the vigorous peoples of the West have destroyed forever the peace and quiet
that once were ours. I can no longer live, a being apart from those whose world now trembles to the roar of
bomb and cannon-shot. I cannot say of a matter of universal life-and-death, of freedom and slavery for all
mankind, that it concerns me not. For no man and no nation is an island, but a part of the main, there is no
longer any East and West–only individuals and nations making those momentous choices which are the
hinges upon which history resolves.

At the vanguard of progress in this part of the world I stand–a forlorn figure in the eyes of some, but not one
defeated and lost. For, through the thick, interlacing branches of habit and custom above me, I have seen the
light of the sun, and I know that it is good. I have seen the light of justice and equality and freedom, my
heart has been lifted by the vision of democracy, and I shall not rest until my land and my people shall have
been blessed by these, beyond the power of any man or nation to subvert or destroy.

I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give that I may prove worthy of my
inheritance? I shall give the pledge that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it shall be
compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears when first they saw the contours of this land
loom before their eyes, of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from Mactan to
Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:

Land of the morning

Child of the sun returning
Ne’er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shores
,
Out of the lush green of these seven thousand isles, out of the heartstrings of sixteen million people all
vibrating to one song, I shall weave the mighty fabric of my pledge. Out of the songs of the farmers at
sunrise when they go to labor in the fields, out of the sweat of the hard-bitten pioneers in Mal-lig and
Koronadal, out of the silent endurance of stevedores at the piers and the ominous grumbling of peasants in
Pampanga, out of the first cries of babies newly born and the lullabies that mothers sing, out of the crashing
of gears and the whine of turbines in the factories, out of the crunch of plough-shares upturning the earth,
out of the limitless patience of teachers in the classrooms and doctors in the clinics, out of the tramp of
soldiers marching, I shall make the pattern of my pledge:

―I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until freedom shall have been added unto my
inheritance—for myself and my children and my children’s children—forever.‖

ACTIVITY 2. SAMPLE ESSAYS

SUMMER
Heather Riede
(Descriptive)

Everyone has a comfortable place to escape to for relaxation. They go there when they need to be
alone and not with people to disturb them. My place is nature in the summer. The summer time relaxes me
like no exact place could. Nature, in the summer, relaxes me with its naturalness. I love sitting in the grass
and listening to the nature sounds around me while it’s summer. One of the sounds I tune to first is the
sound of the birds singing and chirping away as if they are creating a song. After sitting for a few minutes,
I’ll hear the light breeze coming down through the trees, rustling their leaves. Besides those two things I
hear, it is a peaceful quietness that you can’t get in a city or town. That’s why I love nature, but only in the
summer. They are always associated with each other. When I look around me, in the summer time when
I’m outside somewhere, I see beautiful bright clear things. For example, the tall green grass and the leaves
on the trees sway in the breeze. Then I see bright or pastel flowers around, never too far away from any one
person. Most days, unless rainy, are bright, sunny, and warm. The sky is a beautiful landscape blue with
little clouds, if any, in it. If I’m in the forest, I see big tall trees all around me. The feeling of summer all
around me is friendly to me. The sun is so warm against my hot skin. And the breeze cools my skin off
again as it lightly touches it from blowing down from the trees. Then, when I am sitting in the grass, I either
feel its dryness or its moistness against my body. I also love the smells of summer that are in any place you
are, but I will not talk about it in this essay. I will now say, I absolutely am perfectly calm whenever I am
listening, feeling, and looking at the summer around me. Summer is my favorite season, and nature when its
summer is relaxing and comfortable.
 Essay (Excerpt)
Samantha Springer
Narrative

All people have memories - good memories about themselves that give themself-confidence in the
years to come. I have one particular memory that made me feel good and more sure of myself. It showed
me my strength. I now knew how great of a singer I was. It was a beautiful Saturday - not a cloud in the
sky. I was with six other people at Paramount Kings Island - all of which were my friends. We had just met
up with my mom and step-dad, Todd, and they brought up the idea for me to sing at the country karaoke
booth. You see, I had been planning on singing "Don’t Be Stupid" by Shania Twain at my school talent
show that year, and they thought it would be great practice. Well, obviously, I wasn’t too thrilled with this
idea. I was afraid that I would mess up and that there would be too much competition. On top of that, all of
my friends were there. I wasn’t about to embarrass myself in front of all of them! Peer pressure is hard to
deal with and Im telling you, my friends do not know how to take the answer, "No." They had heard me
sing before, and they weren’t going to let me back down. By that time, my friends and I were sitting in the
audiences place, planning on watching the singers perform. What I didn’t know, was Todd had already
signed my name up. I watched in amazement as the woman running the booth sang her opening song, "Any
Man of Mine." She was awesome. However, when she announced the first singer to sing karaoke, my jaw
just about to hit the floor. The first singer was me! Nervously, I walked up the steps to the stage and took
the microphone. I forced a smile, and introduced myself to the audience. Then the familiar music started.
For a second, I panicked, thinking that I had forgotten all of the words, even they were right in front of me.
Despite my nervousness, I naturally started singing and dancing – without relying on the screen for the
words. I was really getting into it. Though, the beating of my heart seemed to drown out the sound of my
voice, the audience looked like they were really enjoying it. .
 Digital Cameras (Excerpt)
Expository

Throughout the ages humanity has always been fascinated by the possibility of ―capturing
moments‖ or in other words perpetuating moments of high significance and outstanding beauty. This
provided the opportunity to share something that nobody else has seen or perceived. This idea has made a
long way from canvas-paintings to using cameras. Cameras, in their turn have also experienced a rather fast
evolution and nowadays everybody has a notion of what a digital camera is and the majority of people use
digital cameras. According to a standard definition a digital camera is ―…opposed to a film or video
camera, uses an electronic sensor to transform images and video into electronic data. Years ago people used
to possess two different devices in order to take pictures and to make video. The need to spare space and
make it more comfortable for people to do both things with higher quality results catalyzed the creation of
digital cameras. The multifunctionalism of digital cameras and the combination of several devices in one
make it the best possible choice for a modern man. For years a digital camera has been unaffordable for
many families, nevertheless, nowadays the great variety of digital cameras of different manufacturers and
diverse prices make a digital camera a potential purchase of almost every single family. The formula: price
+ quality satisfied customer used by the digital cameras manufacturers is especially reflected in the wide
choice of cameras that offer the best quality standards for the price-range they belong to.
 Why Women Should Not Have An Abortion
Persuasive

Many women in the entire world have abortions. Women believe there are many reasons to abort
such as fear of having or raising a child, rape, or not having enough money. But whatever the situation,
there is never an acceptable reason to get an abortion. Some important reasons why women should not abort
have to do with human values, religious values, and values of conscience. The first reason why women
should not have an abortion is related to basic human values. Women need to think about their unborn
babies who are not responsible for this situation. These unborn babies should have the privilege to live and
grow into a normal person. Women need to be more humanitarian and less egoistic with these babies. On
the other hand, the baby doesn’t know how or why he is here. It is not necessary to kill a life; there are
many other solutions to resolve this problem short of abortion. The second reason why women should not
abort has to do with religious values. In almost all religions, a woman is not permitted to have an abortion.
If they do, their religions will punish them. In some religions, for example, a woman cannot take
communion after having an abortion, and before taking communion again, she must do many things as a
form of penitence. In whatever religion, abortion is punished and for this reason, women should not abort.
Finally, the third and most important reason why women should not abort is the related to her conscience.
When a woman has an abortion, she will always think about the baby she might have had. She will always
think about the future that could have happened with her baby which will always remind her that she killed
it. Because she has had an abortion, she will never have a good life, and her conscience will remind her of
what she had done. Because a woman who has an abortion can’t forget about what she has done, these
thoughts will always be with her, and the results can be calamitous.
