Filipinos: BE STRONG!!!!

We – Filipinos are UNIQUE….No one will ever probably know who the real Filipinos are as much as the Filipinos themselves. Filipino values are given much importance and that , they are handed down from generation to generation. Undeniably, this has a great impact in the life of every Filipino.

Filipinos are known for their hospitality. If you happen to go places having its fiesta, Filipinos, without any hesitation, will invite you to come to their homes and offer you food and whatever you need. The only satisfaction they would want to have is to see a smile in your face. Filipinos are also respectful and therefore respected. They see the value in every person, realizing that every person has their own value. Because they extend respect and courtesy to others, that, others learned to respect them too. One way on how Filipinos show their respect is by saying “po” or “opo” to the elders. Filipinos are also said to have strong family ties. You will see the grandma's and grandpa's living in the house of their children who already have their own families unlike in other countries where people tend to bring their old parents to homes for the aged. Filipinos work to live and never live to work. We are aware that Filipino today is facing a big problem - POVERTY. But still they manage to be a good natured individual willing to help not only themselves but others too.

So as they struggle with this incredible dilemma they still turn to be a responsible ones finding simple joy enough for them to smile. Even though difficult times come, they still persevere to work. Problems arrive but Filipinos remain strong!
