What is a brief summary of I am a Filipino by Carlos P Romulo?

I am a Filipino by Carlos P. Romulo is a beautifully written piece of literary work that expresses the writer's love and devotion to his country, the Philippines. This piece also expresses throughout how being a Filipino and embracing the Filipino culture, history, etc is so much a part of Romulo and many if not most of his compatriots.

Romulo begins by paying homage to his for-bearers and the land that they first set foot on. He also states that because of the influence of both the east and the west, the Philippines must wake up and embrace it's destiny....to meet the west (possibly in war). He ends the article by stating that he will fight to keep his country free just as his ancestors did. See the related links for the text of the article.
