The Filipino spirit is waterproof,
but it is not just waterproof.
It is also fireproof,
windproof,
earthquake-proof.
It is shockproof too,
like a tibak's body being struck
by the truncheons and shields
of the riot police
amid a rally at Mendiola.
Heck, it is bulletproof as well
no matter how many Filipinos
die in this great nation
by gunshot or at gunpoint,
aside from other causes.
Most of all, being dominated
by the corrupt, the megalomaniac,
the greedy, the bloodthirsty
and all other sorts of dangerous,
but albeit outright fools...
the Filipino spirit
is FOOLPROOF.
