Is the Filipino youth apathetic and indifferent to the plight of our country? That is a question that I am often asked by my friends who seem to be frustrated with the seeming lack of concern and action from the Filipino youth. My answer to this question is simple, I don’t agree that young Filipinos don’t care anymore about our country, they want and can do something but they just don’t know how they can contribute positively in our society. In this regard, I’d like to share my own views of how young Filipinos can get involved in creating a better Philippines.
Just recently, my brother Jet made a personal video of him solving a 5×5x5 Rubic’s cube - he’s very good on it! I’ve uploaded the video above. See it for yourself. (The Rubik’s cube was a gift from me last July 19, after several hours, he could already solve it.)
