I lament the deafening silence of the majority of Filipino youth amid the grinding poverty, graft and corruption in government, moral decline, destruction of cultural treasures and the suppression of basic rights in our country. I can't believe that only a minority of our countrymen are appalled by the evils now stalking our land.
Someone should remind us that to be nationalistic is not only to be anti-imperialist. It also means being vigilant and being advocates of truth.
We call on all Filipino youth who are afraid to air what they feel about our country to stand up and fight the evils in the government! May our Lord God provide us with everything we need to destroy these evils and restore our nation.
