DUBAI: Has it not occurred to you to compare ourselves with other people who have likewise achieved independence and have gone leaps and bounds in a shorter time than us who gained ours 121 years ago?
Consul General Paul Raymund Cortes, in his speech at today’s flag-raising ceremony marking the Philippines’ 121st Independence Day, offers a sage’s advice.
“Sometimes, we stand by, idly watching other countries prosper. Don’t compare other people’s progress with ours,” he said.
He also shared how it came about that the Philippine flag will be draped over the Burj Khalifa tower on this momentous day.
