Portrait of the Filipino Family

INTRODUCTION



We have so much to learn about a Filipino Family. They taught us values in life that through these values and cultures we became better. Filipinos have so many great cultures and traditions that need to be passed from one generation to another. We should go out there and let the whole world know how capable Filipinos are. We should be proud that we have a blood of a Filipino. And as a Filipino, I want the world to know that we can do a lot of things that others can't.

I hope through this blog, you'll learn how to love and appreciate being a Filipino. It is not something to be ashamed of. Be Proud.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

| Loyalty within the family
| Filipinos are family oriented
| The super ordination of the family over individual interest
| Concept of Family Solidarity
| Maintains expressive and emotional relationship
| The impact of modernization on the family
| Ability to survive
| Extreme Family-Centered
| Lack of Discipline
| Kanya - kanya syndrome
| Colonial Mentality

Our sense of joy and humor serves us well in difficult times. It makes life more pleasant.

The Filipino child grows up in an atmosphere of affection and over protection, where one learns security and trust but also being dependent to others.

In the family, children are taught to value the family and to learn its importance.

Noontime Shows & Teleseryes


Filipinos likes watching television especially noon-time shows. We get entertained by these shows because they are comedic. And these shows were made for us and their purpose is to give us entertainment especially when we are bored. Well these shows help us forget our problems because they always make us laugh. The most important part here is that anyone who watches these shows helps copes up with life's problems. Reason is, it is open in public, and it help us to share our life experiences and they give us comfort.

- Eat Bulaga and Wowowee are the best examples of noontime show here in Philippines that give us a lot of entertainment.




One of the staples in Philippine television is the teleserye.Teleseryes are mainly melodramatic, although there are also elements of action, fantasy, adventure, and even comedy in some.Why watch teleseryes? With all the problems that the country is experiencing, why does everyone indulge in these fictional stories whose twists and turns are predictable anyway? They may not be intellectually stimulating, or even artistically innovative; and yet, they capture the fatalist imagination of the Filipino. Whether or not they can relate to the characters they see on the television, they believe that, as the teleseryes promise, everything will turn out alright in the end.
