“I am a Filipino”
by: Carlos P. Romulo

I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such I must


prove equal to a two-fold task–the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of
performing my obligation to the future.
I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers.
Across the centuries the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea
in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the
billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free
abundance of new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.
This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every
hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green-and-purple invitation, every mile of rolling
plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living and the
fruitfulness of commerce, is a hallowed spot to me.
By the strength of their hearts and hands, by every right of law, human and divine, this land
and all the appurtenances thereof–the black and fertile soil, the seas and lakes and rivers teeming
with fish, the forests with their inexhaustible wealth in wild life and timber, the mountains with their
bowels swollen with minerals–the whole of this rich and happy land has been, for centuries without
number, the land of my fathers. This land I received in trust from them and in trust will pass it to my
children, and so on until the world is no more.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes–seed that flowered down the
centuries in deeds of courage and defiance. In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent
Lapulapu to battle against the first invader of this land, that nerved Lakandula in the combat against
the alien foe, that drove Diego Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.
That seed is immortal. It is the self-same seed that flowered in the heart of Jose Rizal that
morning in Bagumbayan when a volley of shots put an end to all that was mortal of him and made
his spirit deathless forever, the same that flowered in the hearts of Bonifacio in Balintawak, of
Gergorio del Pilar at Tirad Pass, of Antonio Luna at Calumpit; that bloomed in flowers of frustration
in the sad heart of Emilio Aguinaldo at Palanan, and yet burst fourth royally again in the proud heart
of Manuel L. Quezon when he stood at last on the threshold of ancient Malacañan Palace, in the
symbolic act of possession and racial vindication.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my manhood, the symbol of
dignity as a human being. Like the seeds that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many
thousand years ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the insignia of my race, and my
generation is but a stage in the unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
