I may have a social/cultural identity, but I normally do not uphold/promote such things - Normally, I tell myself that I am such (Catholic/Filipino?) by technicality.
Most Philippine emigration is very inevitable, but I always though that the least I can do as contribution to our country is to have my career on it, and not on another country. However, the pressure is on - my parents want us to seek work abroad, once we are legible for work.
Random thought.
