where's the PATiS?

The story tells us the dream of the Filipinos to travel abroad. It is entitled “Where’s the Patis” because Filipinos might enjoy the pleasure of outside countries, however, they realize in the end that it is more fun in the Philippine

To travel is one of the greatest dreams of the Filipinos. It is in the search for pleasures they have not experienced in the Philippines. They wanted to visit America, to have a glimpse of the Colosseum of Rome and etc. Without knowing, leaving Philippines is not very much enjoyable especially when you planned to live abroad for a very long time. Let’s say that they may enjoy living abroad because they have experienced wearing western suits, able to earn a lot of money but compared to the lifestyle we have here in the Philippines, I think it is more fun in here. It is because, in the Philippines, we have here some cuisine that I’m sure the fascinating world don’t have such as the juicy Lapu-Lapu, dishes cooked out from usa, escargots and snails, and the most desired thing that completes the mealtime and fulfills the satisfaction of every Filipinos, the rice which abroad doesn’t always serve especially those in western countries. Another thing, Philippines also has patis which abroad world doesn’t have. And most importantly, the Filipino traits such as being lovable, respectful, the use of “opo” which is not practiced outside the country is something we should be proud of.

As a proud Filipino, I would not choose greener pasture provides by the fascinating world, “abroad” over Philippines because of those things I mentioned above. However, this does not mean that I won’t travel abroad. I would also like to travel abroad to gain some knowledge and I would not forget the knowledge, love, honor I gain here.
