# A World With Filipinos # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Pacman is Manny Paquiao the boxer

Current number one pound for pound fighter

Quite acknowledged as champion of the world

Imagine the earth without Filipinos who dare hurled

To meet and accept the challenge for the hard test

Now set outstanding records as among the world's best

Then perhaps there would be nobody else for us to steer

Those who originate from Philippines that brought us cheer



Health care workers flock the globe

Most are nurses who give care that probe

For greener pasture whose services are worth

The pay from foreigners in far south to the north

Through dedication and hard work in their vocation

Have been in demand for there is no other nation

Can satisfy the dire need for best care with patience

Than most Filipinos endowed with skills without tense



Teachers are third most hired professionals among Filipinos

And Engineers, Accountants and entrepreneurs who are genius

In foreign land which showed that Filipinos have also innate abilities

And intelligence comparable to the advance civilization's capabilities

Of which some have equaled if not surpassed foreign achievements

Brought to Philippines great accolades as honorable monuments

As being modern day heroes who encourage everyone's own will

Not only in the Pearl of the Orient Seas but the entire world as well
