Learning from a local news cast a few minutes ago, the Philippines, and hence, the Filipinos are tagged as taking the 14th place of the happiest people in the planet. This proves that money is not the measurement of happiness and that despite of economic crisis, Filipinos managed to keep sane and on top of all difficult situations.

The criteria were set by New Economic Foundation’s Ranking using life expectancy, people’s happiness in their lives, and environmental impact (I wonder what this is for) as the basis for the measurement of happiness.

In the midst of A(H1N1), dirty political crisis, and typhoons situations, Filipinos never fails to joke around with anything. Probably we were born with it, weren’t we?

Its in our nature to find happiness in our sorroundings, no matter how glum the situation is. Even we are in calamity, we could always find things to laugh at.

We love to party, to get together, to eat and drink.

Though despite this fact, we still had to face the truth. We still have to do our responsibilities to make this country a better place. Let us make our a country a more happy place. :-)
