the family. Unlike in Western countries, young Filipinos
who turn 18 are not expected to move out of their
parents' home. When a Filipino's parents are old and
cannot take care of themselves, they are cared for in
their children's homes and are very rarely brought by
their children to Homes for the Aged.

humor in everything. It sheds light on the optimism and
positivity of Filipinos in whatever situation they are in
so as to remain determined in going through struggles
or challenges. It serves as a coping technique, the same
way a child who has fallen laughs at himself/herself to
hide his/her embarrassment.

set of standardized rules or procedures; They are known
to follow a "natural clock" or organic sense of time—
doing things in the time they feel is right. They are
present-oriented: which means that one attends to a task
or requirement at the time it is needed and does not
worry much about future engagements.
Filipino Values
Flexibility, adaptability, and creativity
 This allows the Filipino to adapt and be flexible in
doing the tasks at times not bound to a particular
schedule or timeframe. This allows them think on their
feet and be creative in facing whatever challenge or task
they have even when it is already right in front of them.

observe, the customary (and obligatory) Sunday Mass,

opinions of the majority, importance of the Sacraments,
praying at almost any possible time of the day, the
extreme practices during Holy Week.

constantly under the rule of numerous powerful
countries has over time, developed a sense of
resourcefulness or the ability to survive with
whatever they have. They have the extraordinary

bagseut, and some tape, he would still be able to
build a bird tree, especially for the sake of
