One of the negative traits of Filipino is the Filipino Time, our natural tendency to be late.

We
are so obnoxious about other people’s time that we invented a nickname for being late
and made it a national identity. This type of behavior indicates laziness, and you’ll
definitely get nowhere if you don’t change it this instant. Successful people didn’t wait for
success to come to them. Example for this negative traits, when you are about to have
an interview then you are late, then you already have a bad impression in that particular
company.

The second traits is the the mañana habit. It’s a shortened version of “mamaya na,” a
phrase we usually say when we have things to do. Basically, Filipinos are expert
procrastinators that they once again made a national identity out of it. It’s so obviously
wrong yet so hard to correct. It really has a big impact to the business like there is a lot
of paper works that you need to do now but instead you just relaxing and because you
have these kind of traits.

Fiesta Culture even we don’t have a money we can still afford to celebrate
because we intend to lend some money. Provinces have their monthly fiestas
dedicated to their patron saints, while cities spend way too much on extravagant parties.
It’s good to celebrate, as long as you can afford it.

The fourth traits is the bahala na. In that way you being dismissive of your future.
That’s a negative Filipino trait that needs correcting. Stop leaving everything to fate and
take control of your own life. Leave your bahala na attitude behind and start taking
responsibility for your actions. You also need to effort for something.

The fifth negative traits is the attitude towards utang. The problem comes when some of
us choose to drown themselves in debt to achieve just that. Whenever they want
something, their course of action is to borrow money from anyone they know and avoid
them for the next couple of months.We need to stop our terrible attitude when it comes
to borrowing money. If you really want something, learn how to save up for it instead of
asking for another utang. To avoit having utang we need to work hard to sustain the
lifestyle you want.

Another one of those Filipino traits we have is our cultural shyness. As a conservative
country, we were told to act accordingly to avoid bringing shame to the family. This then
resulted in a generation that don’t know to demand what they want because they are
afraid of being judged. Filipinos are too shy to ask questions that they end up not
learning anything. That is a very negative traits because for you are avoiding the
opportunities you can have. We need to Speak up, educate yourself, and achieve the
life you want. For example if you are still new to the company you need to ask some
questions to your manager but you are shy then how can you solve or understand some
situation, so you really need to have a confidence to your self.
