Policies and Achievements of the Government and Regeneration of the Filipino

Reflection
"National strength can only be built on character", this is the sentence that summarizes all primary things that Manuel L. Quezon wants to convey to his listeners or audiences, the Filipino citizens. Former President Manuel L. Quezon described the civic characteristic of our forefathers, contrasting how things were done in the past and how they are done now, And as the years passed, several changes occurred, prompting him to want to revitalize the traditional Filipinos. He decided to shape the Traditional Filipino into something like a molave, which he defines as a sturdy and resilient plant that grows on a hillside, unafraid of raging floods, lighting, or storms, secure in its own power. When it comes to character traits, however, there are major variations between the Filipinos of the past and the present. Today's Filipinos are egocentric; they just consider what is best for them. They continue to do things solely to satisfy their own personal interests, without considering the potential implications of a becoming a self-centered individual. Filipinos are now vulnerable, reliant on the government at all times, without affirmation, and with money in proportion to justice. The Filipinos of today only believe on want to believe to the point that they believe things that aren't true. And most of all, some typical Filipinos neglected their own country and have lost their patriotism.

Our forefathers had the confidence to lead the country's improvement, they weren't afraid of adventures, and they also saw themselves as involved members of the political system. To achieve an objective and patriotism, they have patience, persistence, politeness, self-reliance, and a variety of friendly attitudes. Our ancestors are acquainted with generosity, not inclined to physical labor, and extremely reasonable Filipinos. Our ancestors were rich in good values, morals, attitudes mentioned above are the legacies that our ancestors have left us which is typically no longer visible to some Filipinos of today.

Finally, it is possible to say that today's Filipino is too dissimilar to the Filipino of the past. As a result,it demonstrates that the only constant in life is transition, and that we have no control over it. In our hands, we don't have the power to control anything. We can't make them change their minds. We can't change what they lived for. All we can do is to give them enough and valid reasons why they need a little change and let them change their selves. And if we push them to make something different that they are unfamiliar with, they can only change for a brief period of time and then revert to their previous state. In short, great leader together with the well-mannered citizens are meaningless when there is no willingness to change and willingness to change is a strength.
