    FILIPINO CULTURE

    Filipino culture is rich and diverse, shaped


    by a blend of historical influences and local
    traditions.
     To appreciate Filipino culture, begin with their
    values.
     Values are the community standards of what’s
    valuable. They are the guiding principles of our
    lives.
    Here are some key aspects of
    Filipino cultures/values:

    1. Resilience: Filipinos are


    remarkably resilient,
    especially in times of
    calamities and challenges.
    They manage to rise above
    adversity, often supporting
    each other with encouraging
    words and a positive spirit.
    Family First
    Family bonds are paramount
    in Filipino culture. Whether
    immediate family or extended
    relatives, everyone is treated
    as family. Even close friends
    are considered part of the
    family circle.
    FAMILY FIRST
    • Pagpapahalaga sa pamilya is a value that considers the
    interest of the family more important than personal
    interest. Filipinos are willing to sacrifice prestige and even
    happiness for the sake of family
    • Because of our love for family, many Filipinos choose to
    work abroad. They are not doing this to achieve personal
    success. They do this to ensure that their children get a good
    education.

    • An employee, for example, may leave work to care for a sick


    mother or father.
    Bahala Na (Let Go & Let God)
    • Bahala Na is a Filipino attitude that expresses
    courage and faith in God. It means to let go and let
    God. It has always been an expression of optimism.
    • Bahala na means that Filipinos consider all possible
    solutions. And when it seems that there is only one
    solution left, though they don’t have all information
    they need, they’ll risk forward.
    • Bahala na is an expression of courage
    and faith. It was like David facing
    Goliath. Bahala Na means I will win
    because God is with me. Bahala na is a
    100% commitment to succeed.
    RELIGIOUS DEVOTION
    Religion plays a significant
    role in Filipino life. You’ll find
    religious symbols and images
    throughout Filipino
    households. Going to church
    on Sundays (or more
    frequently) is a common
    practice.
    • It is this faith that makes us say “Bahala
    Na”. I will do it because God is with me.
    RESPECT AND POLITENESS

    Filipinos are taught from an


    early age to be respectful. They
    use polite phrases like “po”
    and “opo” when addressing
    elders. The traditional gesture
    of “pagmamano,” where they
    raise the backs of their elders’
    hands to their foreheads,
    shows deep respect.
    Bayanihan
    COMMUNITY SPIRIT: Bayanihan
    We are heroes to each other.
    Bayanihan
    The Filipino concept of
    “bayanihan”
    emphasizes helping one
    another without
    expecting anything in
    return. This community
    spirit makes tasks and
    responsibilities easier to
    undertake.
    Amor Proprio ( Loving Oneself )

    • Amor propio is means self-love or self-regard. We


    Filipinos value self-respect. It is related to dangal, which
    means dignity. We honor our words, and we fight for our
    honor. It is also related to the Filipino term hiya.
    • They have high regard for themselves. They respect
    themselves as they respect others (Kapwa-tao).
    • But hiya means self-regard.
    MALASAKIT (WE CARE FOR OTHERS)

    • Aside from bayanihan, malasakit is the most popular value among


    Filipinos. Malasakit means caring or concern for others. We expect every
    Filipino to care.
    • A good leader, for example, is expected to show malasakit. Leaders cannot
    be public servants if they don’t care for people.
    • Because of malasakit, you have employees who work the extra mile to
    serve their customers. When you work with Filipinos, remember that they
    care for people. They help those who are in need without expecting
    anything in return.
    Because of malasakit,
    you will hear of
    teachers who spend
    extra hours teaching
    students. They use
    their own money to
    buy school supplies
    too.
    Because of
    malasakit, we
    hear of a movie
    star who sold her
    luxury car for
    charity.
