Filipino Kid In California Sends A Powerful Message To Students Who Are Protesting Against The Government

Sometimes, with all the issues that are going on in our country, with the back and forth tirades of people from both sides of the political fence, it is such a relief that someone will take courage to stand up and say what needs to be said.

Surprisingly, most of the time, these people who stand up are not even from our country. Just imagine how these people, even if they don’t live here, appreciate the change that is going on in our country.

And it’s sad how those that actually live here are those that are blind to the changes.

Do you remember the kid who lives in California that wrote a letter to President Rodrgido Duterte to ask for a video greeting from him for his class?

He wrote a letter to the president on October 2017, saying how proud he was to be a Filipino and that he admires the president very much. He then asked if the president can record a video for him and his class.

Andre Esteban got his video greeting from the president and did not stop there. Well, he continued his support to the president and even made a Facebook page for his advocacy.

The current rallying of the students in the Philippines against the government is alarming for Andre.

He sent out a message to the Filipino youth who are rallying against the government. He said that if these youth wants change then it is better that they start with themselves.

Here is his whole message:

Ako po si Andre ang batang Pinoy na taga Fresno California. Lumaki po ako dito na Americano pero Pilipino po ang puso at isip ko. Mahal ko po ang Pilipinas at ang mga Pilipino. May message po ako sa mga students na nag rarally against the government. Ang pagbabago na gusto mo ay dapat magsimula sa sarili mo, gawin mo ito para sa Pilipinas at sa mundo. Start with simple good deeds like helping clean the streets and participating in going green--plant some trees or maybe teach out of school homeless kids around Manila how to write and read instead of wasting your time rallying and shouting against the government. Show the world that you are a Filipino and love your country by doing something worthy in your community. DON'T be like parasites that destroy. Be a volunteer for change. Help build a better Philippines. 🇵🇭#BeTheChangeYouWantToSeeInTheWorld #RespectYourPresident #LoveYourCountry #LoveYourOwnPeople
