It’s Independence Day on Sunday, FNites, and there's no better time to list the things that make you proud to be Pinoy than this special occasion. It could be something you only see or experience in the Philippines, your favorite Pinoy food, or even Filipinos whose accomplishments are recognized worldwide!

As TV host Bianca Gonzalez Tweeted earlier this month, the phrase "only in the Philippines" would make a great tagline for a Department of Tourism campaign. After all, we all love using it to express what we love about our heritage. She even shares some choice statements about Pinoy pride on her Twitter account, as quoted on her blog: “Where family and faith are the center of our lives, making us one of the most hospitable people in the world. :) #onlyinthePhilippines”

How about you, FNites? Do you feel your heart swell when you sing the National Anthem? Have you traveled all over the country and found yourself feeling grateful you live in a place with such inspiring natural wonders?

We're resilient in the face of adversity. No matter what crisis or catastrophe, we survive. This is bad also sometimes since we're just so used to endurance and suffering without making any effort for positive change.

despite of the true stand of our country, and condition of our economy, many Pinoys are unemployed and also homeless. Im proud coz we were able to show SMILE despite of the adversity we are facing. We are still striving the best as we can, we Pinoys continue to HOPE for a better tomorrow and aiming to have good future for the next generation.

Im proud of my Kayumangging kulay, im proud that I was raise and born as Pinoy coz I have taught a good moral values that Im proud to show with other races.

I am proud to be Pinoy because I am centered by our deep faith to God, for always having a courage to stand & defend our rights and for being adaptive/resilient to any walks of life and always have this positive attitude towards life and others.

Filipinos are very resourceful. Whatever resources we have on-hand, we see to it that we could make something out of it.

Also, Filipinos are very talented beings.

And I would say we are the most loving human being ever created by God :)
