I was watching Cory's funeral and her daughter Ballsey was being interviewed and said something that caught my attention. She said something like 'Uunahin ko din ang bayan kesa sa pamilya' It was not the exact words but the thought is almost the same.
Upon hearing it, I asked myself it its proper to prioritize your country than your own family. I have nothing against my country, I am proud to be a Filipino and I show it in my own little ways. Its just that right now, My humble mind cannot understand why the country should be the priority and not the family? Im not familiar with the hierarchy of prioritization or is there such a thing like that?
Maybe its time for me to check the definition of 'Nationalism' and 'Patriotism' again Or maybe I cant understand it simply because I am a Fernando and not an Aquino, does that make sense? Maybe.
