The Filipino Cultures and Values History tells us that Filipinos are mixtures of different cultures and values
brought to us by our colonizers and elders. During the colonization era we managed to uphold our own
identity as Filipinos and blend well with the foreign cultures and values resulting to produce artistic
population. These made us Filipinos unique among the others.
Religious gatherings represent Filipinos faithfulness to God. We may have different religions but we
commonly believe in one Supreme Being. Masses, processions, feasts of Saints, weddings, baptisms are
Filipinos’ best practices to celebrate life with God. Making God as the center of our lives, we were able to
establish close ties with our family and neighbors. We have birthdays, anniversaries, fiestas and holidays
where we share and exchange foods from our table. There are singing and dancing during these festive
occasions. We welcome our guests with utmost gestures of appreciation and esteem despite the fact that we
don’t have enough to offer. We always see to it that there are happiness and contentment from our visitors
upon leaving our home. With these, we are known to be hospitable and generous. Another trait that we
Filipinos possess is very obvious nowadays. Due to the present health crisis we are experiencing, the spirit
of Bayanihan is shared and offered to one another. It is an act to respond with kindness and help without
expecting something in return when someone needs or calls for help. Strangers or not as long as he calls
and needs our immediate help, Filipinos do always have hearts to extend and do something that would be
helpful. Truly, Filipinos are commendable. Life has never been easy to us, but we always refuse to give up.
In fact, we always give life a good battle. We simply allow ourselves to grow both from our defeats and
triumphs, making us God-fearing, humble, determined, patient and strong. Thanks to our foreign and
native elders whom we inherited the said cultures and character traits. With their wisdom, we remain
resilient, friendly, family-oriented, and deeply religious. All we have to do then is to take good care of the
great heritage that our ancestors left to us.
