Our Norms as a Filipino

People come and go, but values never die. Our concepts of good and bad have been emblazoned
on stone and shall prevail in generations after us. 

As Filipinos, we have our own set of values our parents have instilled on us. And while some of
us would dare say we "never forget," it wouldn't hurt to remind ourselves of these values every
once in a while. This, to ensure that our values will live on in the years to come.

Here are some of the unique Pinoy values every child should learn and never forget:

1. Respect for elders (Paggalang sa nakatatanda)

Elders are a human library of wisdom-rich experiences that may come in handy during tough
times. That's why we should honor them, listen to their words, and follow their examples.
2. Empathy (Pag-intindi sa nararamdaman ng iba)

Putting yourself in one's shoe is the best way to understand a person. We are not experiencing
the same situation and emotion at the same time. Thus, we have to be careful with our words and
actions. The best thing to do is smile, ask, and be a friend. 

3. Deep regard for fellow humans (Pakikipagkapwa-tao)

Sacrificing your own comfort for other people is one of the most gratifying deeds a human can
do. And it also sets an example to other people, who might remember you when they encounter
the same situation.Essentially, albeit unconsciously, you are spreading good vibes by
pakikipagkapwa-tao. 
4. Patriotism (Pagiging makabayan)

There's more into pagiging makabayan than memorizing Lupang Hinirang and Panatang
Makabayan. It also means patronizing our own products, being faithful to the law, and ensuring
that we fulfill our obligations as citizens of the country.
5. Cultural continuity (Pagpapatuloy sa kultura)

In line with pagiging makabayan, we should also promote our own culture. And by promoting,
we mean not just practicing it but also ensuring its continuity amid challenging times. Let's not
forget that our culture is the soul of our humanness. It is composed of traditions, morals, beliefs,
and everything that keep our community from falling apart.

6. We eat using our bare hands with or without washing.


Before we used to court our lovers with a Guitar, Poems including the free service to the
parents of our soon to be partners in life, understand the parents’ wants,needs and their
safety of their child and also you have to go through that immense hard work in order to get
the girl for getting a girl back in the day is not an easy joke, since if you do love her that
much you have to go through that much. But now we simply text-call-meet up-meet parents-
get approval- then get married.

Filipinos are family-oriented.


Forget the thing they say about Filipino hospitality. This one takes the cake. Are you having
trouble with your friend? You can bet your brother, mother, father, and grandmother with
her bakya will be there to support you.
