The different forms of media have affected this issue in one way or another. Maybe through television, through the radio, the newspaper or the internet, the issue about Filipino Nationalism is somehow affected. How can we say that they are affected? Well, the most obvious reason is that the media has a very big influence over the people all around the world. The things people hear, watch or read from these sources somehow affect their daily lives. There are others who follow trends from these sources and some are just fond of checking out what’s new with what these sources produce and a lot more reasons. What about the media? How do they affect the issue on Filipino Nationalism?
I think that they greatly affect the issue on this because a lot of people patronize these sources. What they see from these sources, they tend to follow them. But what do we really see from the media here in the country? Isn’t it that most of the time, they just follow the trends that are “in” in other countries? When they follow trends, sometimes it’s not our own culture that is shown, it’s the culture of the country they copied it from. Would Filipino Nationalism be evident from that scenario? I don’t think so. Based on these things, if the media would continuously follow trends of other countries, the Filipinos patronizing them would loose their sense of Nationalism because it’s not their own culture that they are able to see or hear from these sources.
If the media would just support encouraging the Filipinos to instill the Filipino Nationalism in them, this issue would be so rampant and I think that there would be change that is going to happen within our country.

It is very rampant nowadays in our country where most of the Filipinos copy the way of life and style of the West because they feel that if they do this then they will be considered as part of the society.
Even I would admit that I prefer the clothing styles of the West like Hollywood and Paris compared to the Philippines.
I would agree that the media contributed a negative impact on the sense of nationalism among Filipinos.
There is a chance for renewal or change; however, it would take a lot of time and social and cultural change.
