WEAKNESS

1. Extreme Personalism
- always trying to give personal interpretation to actions (Cow fave or Mahilig
sa "baka' ")
- thank you with "but" (compliment-criticism-compliment)
2. Extreme Family Centeredness
- Very strong family protection whether it is in good or bad condition and
situation (consentidor) (overprotected)
3. Lack of Discipline : Very relaxed attitude but POOR Time Management (the
famous Filipino Time)
- Impatient and unable to delay gratification or reward
- Love to take short-cuts or 'palusot' system
- Carelessness
4. Passivity and Lack of Initiative : Strong reliance to others fate (Makapag-
Asawa ng Mayaman - or Manalo sa Lotto) (Mayaman-Mapera-Abroad naman
si Mommy and Daddy/Lola and Lolo or Tito or Tita or Pinsan or Ninong etc.)
- Yeah the famous PINOY PRIDE. It is all because of the
race (nationality/blood) not by person's attitude, hard-work, dream and
perseverance etc.
- Claiming someone achievement even they are not representing the same
flag just because of ethnicity. (Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy kahit American
Citizens etc. na and they representing other country na.)

have 1 day left to finished, just relax)

achieve goals
- Good at start but NO Sense of Continuity (sometimes no direction at all or no
plan at all)
- Too patient without any plan or action (matiisin) "Bahala na System" - No
matter what, At least we tried (paconsuelo).
- Doubt and Debate or Argument or Objection first than to study, discuss until
planning and action
5. Colonial Mentality : Patriotism vs Active awareness - (mas maganda and
magaling kasi ang ibang bansa, mas masarap)
- To much appreciation to other nationality and foreign products than native
one (local vs imported)
- Lack of LOVE and Appreciation on what they have
- Open outside but Side-open or Close inside (it's OK and Best to RECEIVED
more than to Share)

envy and competitiveness towards others (status vs prestige).
- Personal ambition but insensitive to common good (people & own country)
- Crab mentality (Hilahan and Inggitan System)
