Finally—after months of sitting on my desk—I finished this book by Sir Boogie Boydon. As an auditory and kinesthetic learner, it took me a while because I had to read each chapter aloud to fully grasp it. Here’s my short take on the book.
This is one of those rare books every Filipino should read—not because it’s trendy, but because it speaks to that small tug in the heart we feel when we wish our country were better and ask, “What can I actually do?” Sir Boogie doesn’t preach; he invites. The pages are filled with clear, practical steps that begin with personal responsibility and ripple outward to family, community, and nation. No theatrics, no scolding—just grounded wisdom that makes you look in the mirror and then step outside with purpose.
A heads-up: the book works best when you bring an open mind and a real willingness to change. If you’re ready to trade complaints for contribution, cynicism for courage, and “leave it to fate” for “let’s start now,” this is a must-read. Ang Bagong Pinoy isn’t just a book—it’s a gentle push to become the Filipino our future needs. Read it, sit with it, and see if that quiet tug doesn’t turn into action.
