family’s always there to love and support us no matter what.
Joy and humor- although we encounter many problems our life are
like roller coaster up and down, we never forget to smile, laugh at
those we love and at those we hate and we make jokes about our good
fortune and bad. Flexibility, adaptability and creativity-
We can adjust and to adapt to circumstances and the surrounding
environment, adjusts to whatever happens even in unplanned or

Reflection:
Filipino families are closely knit. Family comes first among any other priorities in life.
Good morals and values start at home. The family molds the child’s character. It is
where moral values are first being taught. The parents are the ones responsible in
inculcating good manners and right conduct to their children that they will carry on as
they grow up. My culture and upbringing played a major role in who I’ve become
because every experience I’ve had great or bad it showed me something that impacted
my life and growing up. Having a Filipino culture influenced my qualities throughout
everyday life.
