The Filipino is Worth Reciprocating For: Patriotic Reciprocation President J. F. Kennedy was a bit short when he said: “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” –John Fitzgerald ‘JFK’ Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)– It should have been: “think first what you can do for yourself so that you can do something for your country, and in return, your country should do something good for you.” –Dr. Delmar Topinio Taclibon– “The poor, the farmers and fish-folks, the wage labour and the common taxpayers had given all their due for this country but as if their lives became more miserable than ever, delving down profounder into the abyss of penury.” –Rapasakdalsakay- Reciprocity in social psychology refers to responding to a positive action with another positive action, rewarding kind actions. As a social construct, reciprocity means that in response to friendly actions, people are frequently much nicer and much more cooperative than predicted by the self-interest model; conversely, in response to hostile actions they are frequently much nastier and even brutal. The act of reciprocating - interchange of acts; a mutual giving and returning; as, the reciprocation of kindness. Dr. Delmar Topinio Taclibon, Bt., DKR, KRSS, BSCE, MBA, Ph.D.D.A., August 2, 2014
