Behind Their Smiles

     The Philippines is one of the Disaster Prone Countries in the world. Because of its location, and is involved in the Pacific Ring of Fire, The Philippines often receive Natural Disasters, like earthquakes, typhoons and volcanic eruptions. Also, because of corruption too, that is taking place in the Philippines. It is already known as one of the Disaster Prone Countries, yet the government won't stop corruption. It made the Philippines slow at recovering when a disaster occurs, especially strong ones. Example of this is the Super Typhoon Yolanda, its been 5 years but Tacloban hasn't fully recovered yet.

      Filipinos are known to be hardworking, smart, lovable, and kind. Even if they are receiving many disasters, they still choose to be strong and keep smiling, that they won't lose hope. There are always what they call "Bayanihan" which they would help each other after a disaster or a problem. But sadly, Filipinos are also aware that there is a corruption in their country, and it causes poverty. It made the country very slow to recover even if they tried to help each other. Most Filipinos also depends more in the government, and since they don't ready their selves before the government in a perilous disaster, it made many casualties. I, myself is a Filipino and I also experienced those disasters, but not as worst as them. Filipinos always choose to smile, because one day, we believe that it will help them create a good country.

     The world is slowly changing, compared to the previous Century. Philippines, as well changed so much, with a new great Leader. About our Resiliency, we always have the so called "Bayanihan". Since we already got a great leader to lead us, Philippines will surely improve slowly but surely. We Filipinos should not just always depend in the government, we should always believe in ourselves as well, we must always continue to be strong and kind. We shouldn't forget our "Bayanihan" because that will help to keep us standing and will let us achieve a country with full of smiles without a bad-behinds. We will achieve a perfect country for us Filipinos, and for the next generation.
