Folks, today I got an inspiration to write a book, well basically it is about being Filipino. I will entitle it "PAGOD KA NA BANG MAGING SI JUAN?"(Are you tired of being Juan?). Because Juan Dela Cruz is attributed to the Filipino, I decided to use it.

So what will be the topic of this book am writing? Well basically it will be about frustrations of being a Filipino, mainly discussing some positive outlooks of a Filipino but more on the negative side which is drawing Filipinos down and hindering its progress.

My book will cover in-depth look on the Filipino attitude and values, educational system, government, media and the action the some Filipino organizations and individuals are taking to alleviate the flight of Juan Dela Cruz.

So what help will I need?

FOR FELLOW FILIPINOS : I need your deep views (preferably in Tagalog since I will be first writing it in Filipino and then translate in English) regarding each of the subject (values or the people itself, government, educational system and media also including the effects of religion in these areas). I do not need if it is subjective or objective so long as it is your view but at least be responsible and factual as well.

FOR NON-FILIPINOS : Well I will be needing your views as well regarding the Philippines and Filipinos, also in those areas (values or the people itself, government, educational system and media..). I also need what do you think is the greatest asset of your country that can be examplified by Filipinos such as your educational system, your government or a particular trait. Please make it in as much detail as possible so that when it comes to writing people can easily understand.

I do prefer receiving your ideas on my email if they are very long ones so send them to [email protected] with the SUBJECT : Book of Juan Idea or you can post and reply here Smiley

Please do help me on this because this is my first try in making a book work (not including the problem of publishing it) and also of airing out my ideas on this subject. By the way don't worry you will be given proper credit in the books for your ideas and submissions.

Also need comments and inspiration regarding this... thanks!
