Filipino Uniqueness, Celebrating our independence
By: @chikakiku

One thing I like about being here on Hive is encountering a lot of Filipinos who support each other and also appreciate foreign bloggers. It shows that Filipinos will support you no matter what nationality you are for a common purpose. In addition, I can identify easily a Filipino user here on Hive once there's a value of family added to their post. We all know that Filipinos valued family, we can do everything for the sake of our family.

The Essence of Independence
By: @konaqua

My ideal Filipino community is a simple one. A community where you help each other through upvotes and comments without expecting anything in return.

In other words, political and cultural freedom are not enough. They could be illusory and can give us a shadow of independence.

INDEPENDENCE DAY: THE INDEPEDENCE OF BEING A FILIPINO
By: @fire.phoenix

For me, identifying as a Filipino on Hive comes from these 3 kinds: (1) understand every culture and traditions of your fellow Filipinos, (2) help your fellow Filipinos through giving some tips/advices and boosting their confidences in every aspects they have, and (3) love your country as you love yourself and others that surrounds you.

I AM A FILIPINO AND I LOVE GOD!❤️
By: @czander

I AM PROUD TO IDENTIFY AS GOD-FEARING FILIPINO because by being identified as Filipino is also the opportunity to promote the good values we Filipino practiced in our life routines and to influence others of our being God fearing too. Our love for independence is rooted with love and not to abuse, that we always want peace and freedom, to show how friendly we Filipinos are. And I would also be an example of a respectful Filipino.
