Strong Family Ties

Filipino usually belongs

to large families of 6 to
12 children. Early on
their lives, children are
taught to look after their
siblings when parents are
working.
Even as
they grow
into
adulthood
they
choose to
live
together.
Hospitality

of being
receptive
and
generous
to guests.
Hardworking
Filipinos have the
capacity for hard
work given proper
conditions. The
desire to have a better
life makes the
Filipinos to and strive
and work hard.
 With jobs abroad,
OFW’s tend to have two
or more jobs. The result is
productivity and better
life for the family left in
the country.
Creativity
Filipinos are
creative,
resourceful, quick
learners and have
the ability to
improvise and
make use of
whatever is on
hand in order to
create and produce.
 Filipinos make
new inventions
out of scraps,
capacity to create
new things out of
old machines and
making new things
from nothing. This
is also a reason why
Filipinos have the
ability to adapt
life in any part of
the world.
Filipino Negative
Values
Laziness

It the most
common trait in
Filipinos today.
It can be manifested seeing “tambays” very
early in the morning, gambling, drinking
liquors, chatting with friends and many
more despite of low income of the family.
Colonial Mentality
The Filipinos’ colonial
mentality comes in two
dimensions:
• lack of patriotism
or awareness,
• appreciation and
love for the country
and actual
preference for
foreign things.
• Filipino culture is
characterized by
openness to the output-
side, adapting and
incorporating the foreign
elements into our image
of ourselves.
• We tend to copy the
western culture as to
foreign fashion, music,
entertainment, lifestyle,
technology and consumer
items.
Kanya-Kanya Syndrome (Crab Mentality)
Filipinos have a selfish, self-serving attitude that
generates a feeling of envy and competitiveness
towards others, particularly one’s peers who
seem to have gained some status and prestige.
Seeing others
became
successful, we
tend to get
jealous and make
a move to put
that person
down.
Bahala Na Attitude
Filipinos are generally passive and lacking in
initiative. One waits to be told what has to be
done. There is strong reliance on others to
do things for us.
 Filipinos is too
patient, long-
suffering and too
easily resigned to
one’s fate.
Ningas-cogon
Being enthusiastic
only during the
start of new
undertaking but
ends dismally in
accomplishing
nothing.
Lack of Self-Analysis
• tendency in the
Filipino to be
superficial and
even somewhat
flighty.
• In facing serious
problems, both
personal and
social, there is lack
of analysis or
reflection.
We joke about the most
serious matters and
this prevents looking
deeply into the
problem.
Lack of Discipline
• Filipinos lack of
discipline.
• a casual and relaxed
attitude towards time
and space which manifest
itself in lack of precision
and compulsiveness, in
poor time management
(Filipino Time) and in
procrastination.
We have an aversion in following strictly a set of
procedures and this results in lack of
standardization and quality control. We are
impatient towards making decisions resulting to
use of short-cuts.
