Interdependence: Build-her Together

​The latest campaigns and election period for us Filipinos are like taking a board examination where we choose the best. Many candidates compete for votes, aspiring to be in the seat of the nation’s leaders. We have been hoping for a better Philippines through the candidates we hope will win. We sometimes faced failures as a nation, and we sometimes blamed it on those on the rank. We are hoping for better leaders to lead us, but are we also hoping to be better Filipinos to work with them? The realization that the status of our nation reflects our status as Filipinos. Building a nation is not a one-man team; we need each other. Our nation does not rely on specific individuals only; it relies on us.

Interdependence works with the word together. It is being, building, learning, and growing together.  As the Almighty Creator saw and said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” We should realize that we are bound to help each other. If we want to build something, we need to recognize our and other’s strengths and weaknesses. We must seek to improve what we have, not to compete with each other but to complement each other as part of the family, an organization, a working force, and a nation. Being independent has the pitfall of self-reliance and pride where there is no room for asking for help from others. Each one of us needs a helper to build something great.

One blessing of interdependence is protection and strength; King Solomon said, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” A nation with people who are intertwined with each other will always be secure and strong. Interdependence teaches us to protect each other and not to destroy each other. It brings us to a realization that our nation needs interdependent citizens with one collective goal of building her up.

Independent ones are strong but become stronger when they humbly recognize their and other’s strengths and weaknesses and pursue interdependence. Hellen Keller once said, “Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.” Re-elected Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto once said we cannot change the system alone. We need to realize, as Filipinos, that we should not look for a savior. Change does not rely on only one person. We differ in many things, but we can build a better Philippines together. Together, start where we are now!
