12 SIGNS WHY FILIPINOS ARE A CHOSEN PEOPLE
1. Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1521 and attempted to plant the first seeds of Christianity. Lapu-Lapu prevented him from doing so, killing him and some of the soldiers and missionaries with him. The rest were said to have gone back to Spain.
and nakahibaw baka nga its mainly because of religion? how sure are you nga mao toy rason gipatay nilang lapu lapu si magellan?
2. King Philip of Spain, 44 years later, instructed Legaspi to go back to the Philippines and convert "every soul, every person, in the name of God, to Christianity."
and this is the start of our pain and suffering under spanish rule (magpasalamat ta ani?)
3. As a result of this, the Philippines became the first and only Christian nation in Asia for more than 400 years.
now look at unsay nahitabo sa philippines karon? christian nation man ta?
4. When the Americans came to the Philippines in 1898, they brought with them the first Bibles to be brought to any Asian country. Thus the Philippines has the distinction of being the first Asian country to be recipient of these Bibles.

5. A good number of our OFW’s (Overseas Foreign Workers) are spreading the Word of God as they go to foreign lands and actually practice Christianity wherever they go – whether in private homes, business establishments, or in the churches where they go for Sunday mass;
mao naman ang na andan nga practice,
6. These same OFW’s, many of them nannies, caregivers, tending both the young and the aged, are the "unsung missionaries," imparting the message of God to their wards, and reminding the aged, sick, and infirm of the goodness of the Lord as they help them in their final journey back to their Creator.
7. The Filipinos abroad fill up the Christian churches, where a good number has reduced attendance and reduced services due to lack of lay participation. Filipinos are the most active foreign group in most Christian churches abroad, where they participate as choir members, active parish council members, and fill up the churches on Sundays and holidays of obligation.
why ang church man pun on?
8. The name "Filipino" evokes a meaning of "piling-pili" (chosen to the highest degree) and "pinong-pino" (finest). Translated liberally, it means "the chosen and the finest people".
apil sad ang makapili ani?
9. The Philippines is the 10th country out of 212 countries rich in terms of natural resources, and No. 1 in terms of diversity in marine life. It is also No. 1 in terms of number of marine species in the deep seas. Water abounds in the Philippines, where it is a scarcity even in "rich countries" in the Middle East.

10. The Philippines is centrally located in the planet earth. It is spared the harshness of a bitter winter and the extreme heat of an arid land.

11. Most Filipinos speak English, the No. 1 language of the world, thus making it easy for Filipinos to be understood anywhere in the world.

12. Filipinos provide entertainment to the world as ambassadors of music. Filipino singers, band players and dancers abound in the entertainment field abroad, "teaching the world to be happy, teaching the world to look at the world in a different way, with beauty, with happiness, with love in their hearts".
