About our Culture

What is a culture? According to Wikipedia, culture is the social behaviour and norms found in human societies. Every country in the world has different cultures, but Philippines itself has a lot to share.

The Filipinos are basically of Malay stock with a little bit of Chinese, American, Arab and mostly Spanish blood. That makes our character a mixed of some cultures put together. It is based from the history of Western colonial rule, where the people of the Philippines interacted with the visits of merchants and traders in whom they fell in love with and decided to start a family in the country. Now we are made up of unique blend of east and west, both in appearance and culture. th8bw9z1y9.jpg

When it comes to family, we are known for having close ties. Our family has been the unit of society and everything revolves around it. Like other household, the father is usually the head of the family, but while he rules the mother governs. The mother is known for being the teacher at home, she is the one who deals with financial issues, she also cooks for everyone no matter what the occasion is and most of all she is the one who  takes care of the needs of their children. The father on the other hand is responsible for looking for a job to make money in order to feed his family, and supply all their needs.

Lastly, hospitality is our number one priority in the country. Filipinos are very open and welcoming when it comes to our relatives, friends and even strangers. We do not hesitate to offer help for people who needs it. For example, when a person is need of a place to stay, we would gladly take them in and offer them a bed where they can sleep as well as food to eat and water to drink. It doesn’t matter what day and what time it is, we are taught that when a person is in need of help, we give it to them. For we believe that one day when we’re the ones who will be needing help, people will do the same for us.
