The good in us...
20 21
The good in us‌ We always welcome each coming year with a bang. Merriment never fails to hover around with fireworks and pyrotechnics dominating over the first few hours of the dawning of a new year, thinking that good fate and good luck come along with somewhat earsplitting noise. There is nothing wrong with believing in superstitions, they may guide us in some ways, but we must always remember that life is an equilibrium of the good and bad, of the yin and yang. The year that is nearing its end proved the ups and downs of life. We battled a number of strong and damaging typhoons, yet, we held on to our faith so strongly; we were downhearted by the execution of four of our brethren for drug trafficking in China, yet, we remained optimistic; we were depressed by the displacement of our OFWs in the Middle East brought about by turmoil, yet, we remained hopeful even more.

On the good side, the year 2011 brought us many blessings. The country’s credit rating improved significantly, to an all-time high at that; investor confidence is now felt, beefing up our job market; we excelled in sports and pageantry that brought us honor around the world. These are just a few of the multitude we have to be thankful for. You see, things, at times, may come in ways we hardly expect. The passing year may have caught us unexpectant of a lot of things which we hurdled, but what is unique about us Filipinos is that we remain resilient. In good or bad fate, we still stand up, we still unite, and find what is good in the bad. This is what we are. This is what characterizes us. This is the good in us. William L. Beltran, PIA-3
