The “Born This Way” a song by Lady Gaga being covered by Maria Aragon speaks to me in a strong way. When I listen the lyrics to this song this is what it is telling. Be happy with the way you where born don’t wish you were someone else, life might give you a hard time cause of your race but it is only as hard as you make it out to be. Be proud of your race, sex, class, who you are and who you are becoming. No one say that life will be easy but changing who you are just because people say you need to, only makes you lose your true identity. Without your true identity you become just another shadow in this world. By Maria Aragon covering this song it speaks to me in a higher level. With out her knowing, as a filipino she sings about the hardships I feel filipinos face trying to break through with there own identity and how they getting pushed into sub groups as asian or mexicans. As Filipino’s we should be proud of our race and take ownership to it. Make the world aware that we are filipinos “we are born this way”, look at us as filipinos and not as anything less.
