Traveling around the country, one can find a wide diversity of customs and traditions, dialects and languages. 
It's been said that the great impediment to the Filipino's unity is our diversity. While O tend to somehow see the connection, O am somewhat of a believer in the fact that where languages fail, a simple gesture like a warm, heartfelt smile can help us find a connection.
In the end, it matters not if one is rich or poor, Muslim or Christian. Deep inside, we are all Filipinos and our smiling countenance and friendly spirit will shine through.
