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.

Keep Smiling


Despite of all the problems that every Filipino family is face with, still, Filipino families are considered one of the happiest families on earth. It is because Filipino families have “fighting spirit” that was hardened after of all the years of never-ending hardships experienced by each family. Later on, Filipino families learned to laugh it off and just take it all in a stride with our optimism in every day. Other factors that helped us to smile with these hardships are:

Being religious. We cling to God.

Filipinos are content with life’s simple pleasures.

“Kumain lang ng tatlong beses isang araw, masaya na.”

We have great social skills

It’s our nature to be happy. By nature, Filipinos are friendly, cheerful and hospitable. We mostly see the positive side of things, even during bad times. Also, we have huge tolerance for suffering.

We live life to the fullest.
