Discuss how being a Filipino affects your “self.

” How can becoming a better Filipino influence

your duty to becoming a better version of yourself?
For me, being a Filipino is something to be proud of. Filipinos are known by other countries for
being hospitable, honest, respectful, religious people and many more. I think being a Filipino
has a big influence on who I am today. Filipinos are focused on the characters of every child.
Starting with our family, as we grew up our parents taught us to do “pag mamano” as a greeting
and saying “po” and “opo” to elders. Being an honest person is one of the best characteristics
they taught to us, especially in schools, you'll see in the wall or in hallways posted a quote
"Honesty is the best policy". A Filipino heart show kindness, happiness, inspirations and
sacrifices. No matter how hard life is, there's nothing to give up. No matter how much money
you have, there's no reason not to be happy. Being hospitable is what Filipinos do best. Even
though there's nothing left in our pocket, in a moment the visitors will see delicious foods or
snacks in front of them. Being a Filipino influences me to be a better version of myself by
adapting the Filipino good traits and values. The way Filipinos smile, the way Filipinos serve, the
way Filipino face consequences and the way Filipino spread kindness, morals, best characters
and to be a God centered person gave us reasons to be a better person.
