The document compares and contrasts aspects of noon (traditional Filipino culture) and ngayon (modern Filipino culture) in three areas: views of beauty, courtship and dating practices, and lifestyle and social norms. In noon, beauty was defined by inner character rather than physical appearance, courtship involved symbolic gestures and parental approval, and lifestyle involved hardship but close family bonds. In contrast, ngayon sees beauty as based on Western standards, dating is casual and tech-focused without tradition, and modern conveniences have made life more comfortable but relationships more disposable.
