For the past two weeks, we felt the excitement and the enjoyment of opening a few gifts from our friends and loved ones. I also felt the joy of getting some and of course the bliss of giving more thus, I have managed to give a number of holiday presents to my close friends and members of my family. I have shared some simple material things that would be of use to their studies and work. I also have volunteered a couple of times in the simplest form of helping the Yolanda survivors, I was at the Booth 7 of Villamor Airbase's Oplan Salubong on December 8 and repacked goods at the Valenzuela City Action Center as part of my Christmas gifts to my fellowmen who were ravaged by the supertyphoon. But if I would be asked to give one most important gift for my country this new year, what then would I prepare to wrap? Over the years, the Philippines has been through a lot of struggles and challenges. Time and again the government's capacity to resolve the country's problems has been questioned. A lot of us Filipinos suffered pain, hunger, and even death during different disputes and calamities. If we spare a thought, perhaps we can list down priceless gifts to wrap and of course offer them to all of the Filipinos to make a difference to our entire country. I actually have a ton of wonderful and precious gifts in my head. But as much as I would want to enumerate thousands of gifts for our country and its people to enjoy that would bring not only smiles to Filipinos lips but a difference to our lives, I just chose the most significant one. However, I am not really capable of giving it. Therefore, I have prayed and asked our most powerful God to help me wrap this paramount and most important gift for all of us. Because every good thing is started with a desire for a better life, a better Philippines, and a nation that promotes and supports #GlobeProjectWonderful2014, I know that Jesus has assisted me in preparing this gift. Let us not forget that " Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above." "Dear Jesus, please help me give our country a gift that is wrapped in Your love and tied with a beautiful ribbon of understanding, selflessness, and sacrifice." A great leader is my gift for my entire country, a leader who has good gifts and substantial qualities that are innate. For the millions of Filipinos in need of good leaders and hungry of good governance, a Gift of Leadership is primarily what our country needs the soonest. As we enter this new year, we need to face the future with the gifts of faith, hope, strength, enlightenment, healing, wisdom, and forgiveness. And for that, having a leader armored with a great Gift of leadership will gear our country towards a better life, a better future, and a better Philippines.
I also wish that my gift be turned into reality, but my question is how? How could I gift my country a leader with great qualities? Well, I could never ever be able to do that. But as a public school teacher, I could train and teach our young people to be one. Remember, "Teachers can make and unmake a child." So I thought of one way to help my wish be realized. With the aid of #GlobeProjectWonderful2014, We could distribute a lot of free books to different colleges and universities about effective leadership, good governance, team building, and other books on building a better nation for college students. We could organize groups in all secondary and tertiary schools that will be supervised by Globe people whose mission and vision focus on quality leadership and helping the ones in need. We could also make and distribute big story books about loving our country to preschoolers and primary pupils. With all these, the young Filipino generation will truly be inspired and understood what nationalism is all about.
My wish would also then be realized by training and leading our nation's future leaders. Hence, I would also love to be an instrument and a leader of #GlobeProjectWonderful in rebuilding schools. A school is an anchor to a strong community that shapes great national leaders. I already signed up at http://www.projectwonderful.ph/ because I want to be a part of Globe's wonderful projects to the Philippines in rebuilding schools where our next responsible frontrunners, innovators, and government leaders will be fashioned . Come and join me be a part of making the Philippines the most wonderful country in the world.
