List at least five Filipino Cultures and discuss the different strength and weakness.
1. Bayanihan - is a term used in Filipino culture to describe the act of neighbors
aiding neighbors. Building solid ties and encouraging a feeling of communal cohesion and collaboration are among this culture's positive traits. Yet, a drawback would be that it might cause people to become overly reliant on one another rather than take ownership of their own lives. 2. Pagmamano - involves taking an elder's hand and placing it on one's forehead as a sign of respect. This culture's benefits include fostering elder respect and upholding traditional Filipino values. Yet, a drawback would be that it might support age-based hierarchies that might result in prejudice towards younger people. 3. Balikbayan Boxes - sending gift-filled boxes to relatives and friends in the Philippines is a traditional Filipino practice. Family relationships are emphasized in this society, and kindness and thoughtfulness are encouraged. Its potential drawback is that it can promote a culture of materialism and consumerism. 4. Pagsamba - is a phrase used to describe religious rituals and acts of worship in the Philippines. This culture excels in fostering a strong sense of community and faith while also giving people a sense of spiritual connection and guidance. Yet, one drawback would be that it might cause disputes and tensions between various religious organizations and ideologies. 5. Bahala Na - The phrase "leave it to fate" or "whatever will be, will be" is used in the Filipino language. This culture excels in encouraging serenity and acceptance in the face of ambiguity and difficulty. Yet, a drawback would be that it might encourage people to refrain from acting and making choices, which would leave them without agency and responsibility.
