their marriage, behavior, child rearing, religion and reading text. Their culture is far way
different, except on marriage where our Muslim brothers and sister in Mindanao have this
culture. In some ways, Europeans and Americans table manners, also Asians have the same
practice in our country. It’s because we adopt most of their culture.

differences, but if the standard is what we grew up with, it is considered wrong. These practices
are against the core values and beliefs of greater area in our country. For we are born and
cultured accordingly in Christian society.

may bend and so on may be gone or continued.
