Performance Task 3.2.1

Title: Relevance of Tingi Culture in the 21st Century: Break through the Culture of Smallness

Introduction: Tingi-tingi System

A. For the Filipino, business is a little stand called a sari-sari. For the Filipinos, industry and
production are the modest daily searches: isangkahig, isangtuka. For the Filipinos, commerce is
the tingi, which is the tiniest kind of retail. In times that we Filipino’s don’t have enough cash,
we tend to settle for less, such as buying shampoos, coffee, condiments etc., in sachets. In that
way, we always thought that with this, we are able to save more and economically.
B. Back in the day, ancestors used this kind of culture as a way of surviving which still makes it
relevant up to this day. Many Filipino’s believes in a saying that, “every successful businesses
starts small.” Which is why I think Tingi Culture is still relevant up to this day.
C. However, though many Filipino’s think of it that way, Tingi culture proved how poor the
economy in the Philippines is. At this stage, it may appear all too usual. But one day, we'll wake
up and realize we're locked in a quagmire. In contrast to our neighbors, who dared to dream
large and built big businesses. Filipinos must rise above their narrow-mindedness, grow, and
dare to be great for the sake of our country.
 D. Enterprises for Filipino starts small. Wherein they always believed that large business starts
small. However, this kind of system nowadays justifies how poor the Philippines’s economy is. I
remember way back when I was a kid, my mom used to make me buy sugar labeling it ¼ in ou
neighborhood sari-sari store, which is still happening until now. There’s nothing wrong about
buying in tingi-tingi or sachets but the fact that this culture is still relevant until now makes me
think that nothing changes, we Filipino’s still settle for less.

First Draft of the Paragraph:

Local comic books, prevalently known as "komiks," were once the most generally perused periodicals in
the country with many titles sold on magazine kiosks consistently. Throughout the long term, comicss in
the Philippines have fostered a wide range of impacts, similar to Japanese anime and manga, which has
prompted the "Pinoy Manga" style. What's more, very much like comic book characters all over the
planet, a few characters have demonstrated famous enough to get adjusted into movies and network
shows.

Second/Final draft of the Paragraph:

Philippine comic books have sustained ability for global TV and liveliness blockbusters, yet the once-
strong industry is battling to get by as it faces the Internet and other new media. The consensus is that
komiks lost their audience as Filipinos turned to more modern forms of entertainment such as television,
videogames, DVDs and the Internet.
