what are the filipino values?

Question

pls answer this. thanks.............................

Answer 1

Family. I'm an Americanized NJ Filipino trying to get back to his roots, and found that family is it. Plain and simple.

Answer 2

The value of "PAGGALANG" or politeness which can be best associated with the use of "po" and "opo" (not to be pronounced as "poh" and "opoh", ask a Filipino to find out how such terms should be pronounced). A typical young Filipino habitually links most of his statements with "po". To cite as an example, let's pick the statement "I'll call you" translated in ordinary Filipino as "Tawagan ko kayo". A more courteous of saying it in Filipino is "Tawagan ko po kayo." Same as true with "Opo", because "Oo" is the ordinary Filipino word for yes, but traditionally, and to express courtesy, "Opo" is more widely used. Surprisingly, "po" and "opo" don't have direct translations in the English dictionary. That alone makes remarkably "Filipino". Another very remarkable Filipino value is "Bayanihan" or indirectly means “working together.” Bayanihan is originally inspired from a scene at which a thatched nipa palm and salawi hut is cooperatively carried by people (mostly by men) from one site to another. This was (and in the provinces, still is) a communal effort. Along with those two very "Pinoy" values also include "Utang na Loob" or debt of gratitude, "Pananalig" or faithfulness, "Kasipagan" or industriousness, among others.

Answer 3

Belief in God, love for family, respect for neighbors, sense of duty, strict work ethics, law abiding, and friendly and hospitable to strangers. When I went with friends for a visit (vacation), I was amazed as to how very accommodating they were, trying to teach me some of their customs and traditions. Their way of life can teach us a thing or two. Like how they love and respect their elders, old people are taken cared of by grateful children, not being sent to homes because they have become an inconvenience to their children. How children are guided into adulthood and not cast out as soon as they reach the age of 18. How neighbors help each other in times of distress. I am talking of the way things are in the provinces (which in the US would be
like the towns and rural areas). The cities in the Philippines are very much like they are in the US. Due to the influence of movies and television, the cities have become too "Americanized" for their own good.
