As a teenager, it has always been my hobby to surf the net
and check for amazing videos on YouTube and other social media sites like
Facebook and Twitter. Yesterday, as I randomly scrolled down my news
feed on Facebook, a heading caught my attention. It says:
#BecomingFilipino: Welcome to Cagayan de Oro, Welcome to my Home.
It may sound very common but it wedged
my attention to its thumbnail. They’re all foreigners and as I may deem, they’re
on a Jeepney; one of the country’s pride, a symbol for the Philippines. One of
the foreigners, Kyle Jennerman, a 25 year-old Canadian national has set his
foot in the Philippines and trying to become a Filipino created a site, a
Facebook Page and a Twitter account for his expedition.
His
video created a buzz on the social media sites and he encourages Filipino to
help him create a cultural list which constitutes experiences, place, history,
food, drink or anything. He covets to start in his Home City, Cagayan de Oro (Mindanao) and to use
it as his home base and to make it also as his finish line.
As a proud Filipino (and even more proud because of him), I encourage everyone to
join his quest of Becoming a Filipino. You can visit his site: http://www.becomingfilipino.com or
follow him on Twitter: @KyleJennerman. Let’s support his endeavor and take part
to his pursuit.
