    4. Mimicry...Filipinos tend to copy or gain that which others have. In this respect, that's why you see groups of Filipino's in foreign countries that are so similar (like in LA every Filipino seems to have a piano at home that no one buys, or in Japan every Filipino on a military base seems to own rose wood. But if they move to a new group, then they easily wish to change and copy the new styles. Kind of like following a fad.…

    For several centuries, during the colonial period, the Philippines has been severely immersed in foreign influences particularly by Spain, Japan and America. Consequently their culture, lifestyle, customs and fashion sense has been mainly defined by influences from these countries as well. However, before the colonization, Philippines has yet to establish its own identity; thus what became the Philippines’ foundation for instituting their nationalistic character was basically colonially inspired. Through the teachings and traditions shared by the colonizers to the country, the Philippines grew to be a very “foreign” country. The Filipino people however did try to determine their own Filipino character but not without incorporating the foreign characteristics they have acquired during the hundreds and hundreds of years they experienced with foreign powers.…

    Philippine Prehistory

    • 501 Words
    • 3 Pages

    By its very nature, Philippine prehistory is “the period of unrecorded history consisting of archeological discoveries, way of life, geographical and geological data in order to know our country’s origin and the roots of the original Filipino.” As such, it is important for Filipinos to learn about their heritage so as to establish their own national identity. Furthermore, studying Philippine prehistory urges Filipinos to not merely accept the information that is given to them. But rather, question and analyze the said information considering that the world is evolving and that times are changing. For instance, prehistory helps Filipinos discover what their strengths and weaknesses are as individuals through the upbringing and culture that they are accustomed to. Once they…

    Some of our good habits are gratitude, community cooperation, hospitality and religiosity, to name but a few. We Filipinos are born with a phrase on our forehead that runs “I will repay the love and sacrifices of my parents as long as I breathe.” We always think of repaying the love and sacrifices of our parents after schooling and to assist them in sending our siblings to school. This habit has already taken roots deep down in our culture which I think is impossible to uproot. We Filipinos are cooperative. A common example of this is the Bayanihan which is performed when a neighbor is going to transfer to a new dwelling place. The neighbors offer their help to carry the house in one piece to the new area of living. This is always gratis. I think it will depend on the owner of the house if he will give a snack to the helpful neighbors. We Filipinos are also known for our unequivocal hospitality to our own country folks or even to those who are alien to our motherland. We welcome strangers with widely opened arms and sweet smile implying “we will give you the best care we can give”. We shelter our country men during a devastating storm. I even recall when a certain American volunteer asked Dr. Placides, “where is the evacuation area?” “No evacuation area here. Every home in the vicinity is an evacuation area,” Dr. Placides said. The Westerner was amazed and impressed especially when he…

    One of the first many things that make the Philippines an important place to me would the great hospitality that they show. The people are so friendly and very generous here because everyone loves to help make sure everything is taken care of. I remember a time back in 2005 when I was in college, the students in my host university, Valenzuela, Fatima University were all very nice and enthusiastic in introducing me to their campus and culture; they even used their spare time to bring me and my friends around Manila. It really meant a lot to me that they took the time to show me around and that they cared. I just had a great feeling that I was going to enjoy going to school in the Philippines. Filipinos also wear lovely smiles on their faces. Even when they are stuck in traffic or in a long queen, they are still happy enjoying music, or chatting with friends, and even seeing people drinking beer in front of their house having a good time. This has stayed with me because it warms my heart how every smiling face can make your day better even when you’re having a rough day.…

    One of the common traits of a Filipino is the word Hospitality. Hospitality comes from the Latin word, “Hospes”meaning “Host”, “guest”, or “stranger”. Hospes is formed from hostis, which means “stranger” or “enemy” which is synonymous to hostility. In a nutshell, Hospitality means welcoming the guest, stranger, or even the enemy into your own house. According to Derrida there two(2) types of hospitality, the first one is Conditional Hospitality, and the second one is the Absolute Hospitality. In the vernacular language, Conditional Hospitality means, you welcome the stranger, guest, or even the hostile within the bounds of condition e.g like they should only sleep in the master bedroom and only sleep in the couch or sala, they cannot go into the bedroom or they should not touch anything. In other words, they are bound to certain restrictions. On the other hand, in contrast to Conditional Hospitality, Absolute hospitality is a form of welcoming the other with open arms up to the point of embracing the other unconditionally. Absolute hospitality knows no boundaries, in fact, welcoming the other might be dangerous because this other’s personality is unascertainable, maybe he is a convict or…

    Filipino Values

    • 2 Pages

    Filipinos believe in themselves that they are Filipinos, but they didn’t know how the real Filipinos really look and what are the qualifications to be a real Filipino. Filipinos have many respectable values, some people didn’t know about it. Filipino culture is the one we will treasure as long as we live. I want you to recall some of the Filipino values that a real Filipino must have. All of us are deeply rooted in faith. We are so conscious of God’s presence steeped in Christian values, ethics and morals. When we have our own problems in life, we just pray to Him solemnly and believe in Him always. If we are with him, nothing is impossible. You see, we Filipinos have a strong faith that no one can even destroy it. They devote time to reconnect with God. They have strong faith, believing that problems and adversities in life will surpass with the help and providence of God. Filipinos are also hospitable. Hospitality is one of the values that tourists from around the world notice first every time they visit the Philippines. Filipinos took great care of their guests, making sure that they're comfortable and happy in their stay. Filipinos are very kind to the visitors even in our simple homes. They are offering all that they can have to satisfy their visitors. Filipinos are also family oriented. They value greatly their families, which is always on top of their priorities. They say that a family that eats together stays together. It means that Filipino families cannot be separated by any means because they love each other and their family is their first priority. Filipinos are also happy people, always smiling and never forget to have a good laugh amidst the problems and hardships that come their ways. Even when in calamities or problems, they are smiling because Filipinos believe that they will overcome their problems. Filipinos also have the will to help each other. This is used to called bayanihan. Filipinos are cooperating with each other to overcome any problem…

    Filipino values are for the most part centered at maintaining social harmony motivated primarily by the desire to be accepted w/in the group the main sanctions against the diverging from these values are the concept of ‘hiya’ roughly translated as a sense of shame and ‘amor propio’ or self esteem. Social approval acceptance by a group and belonging to a group are major concerns. Caring about what others will think say or do are strong influences on social behavior among Filipinos. According to the anthropologists LEONARDO MERCADO the Filipino worldview is basically nondualistic.based on his linguistic analysis of Filipino value terms like loob (Cebuano buot ),he includes that Filipinos desire harmony not only in interpersonal relationships but also with nature and religion while still remaining nondichotomous.…
