Exactly! But unfortunately, I don't think that Filipinos will ever (atleast, not right now) realize that whoever they are praising or putting on top of a pedestal is just another person that has their own flaws and that they can make mistakes like any other person. Yes, they can still say "Proud to be Filipino!" as long as they can acknowledge that the person they are praising can and have made mistakes and that they are not perfect. Maybe one day our fellow Filipinos will learn but definitely not in the foreseeable future. We can still be hopeful though!
(It's fine, I completely understand and relate haha! Also, sorry for the wall of text-)
