Being a Filipino is a pride and honor because there are a lot of things to be proud of. Starting with the various cultures, traditions and destinations that are found in the Philippines. We are fortunate to have 7,107 islands which is one of the prides of the Philippines. Each region has their own dialect and belief that makes a particular locality unique. One of the cultures and traditions found in the Philippines is saying "po" and "opo" to the elderly to give respect. Also, the trait of being hospitable and generous is a trademark of a Filipino which is passed to us by our ancestors.

Different tourist spots and destinations can also be found in the Philippines with a lot of activities, amenities and accommodations to choose from. With the different marketing strategies of these destinations, it attracts more tourists to come and visit the country. Also, with the number of tourists arrivals, it helps increase the Philippine economy. Filipinos know how to conserve and preserve the destinations in the Philippines which is evident whenever people travel. In this way, the beauty of the places in the country are being passed down to the next generations.

Though there are destinations that were destroyed in the past due to fortuitous events, Filipinos still manage to be optimist in life. We are known to be happy and jolly despite of the challenges that we experience in our everyday lives. Hindrances may come along the way but still, we are still able to conquer these problems without any hesitations. Thus, making it easy to say that we are proud Filipinos in every other way
