Submit a list of Filipino Cultures, values, and practices in relation to childbearing and

Childrearing in your hometown. (Minimum of 5)

Make a reflection on each practices. Please be guided by the following questions.

Practices
● Early curfew
● Strict family supervision and consent
● Choices mainly decided by the family
● Everyone in the household should eat together
● Strict parental guidance even after adulthood
Are these practices still being followed in your hometown?
● Early curfew
○ Filipino parents are more often strict compared to western parents when dealing
with their children who are not at home. They would often have a strict curfew in
place and have the child be at home before that time. This practice is still being
followed in my hometown, especially during this pandemic.
● Strict family supervision and consent
○ Usually, Filipino parents seldom let their children go without their supervision, not
to mention consent. This practice is still common in the Philippines.
● Choices mainly decided by the family
○ Many Filipino parents decide many things for their children, ranging from what
clothes to wear to life choices. This practice is still common in the Philippines.
● Everyone in the household should eat together
○ During lunch and dinner—sometimes even breakfast—Filipinos would often have
a policy for the whole household to eat together. This practice is still present in
some families but isn’t often the case for others.
● Strict parental guidance even after adulthood
○ Even after their children have reached adulthood, Filipino parents will still treat
their children like how they used to before adulthood. This practice is still often
being followed in my hometown, but it is common in the Philippines.
What are your thoughts about those practices?
● Early curfew
○ I think this practice is positive, now more than ever during this pandemic when
many people are encouraged to stay at home in order to limit the spread of the
virus.
● Strict family supervision and consent
○ Child monitoring is very important, especially now in the present due to social
media and other influential content. Though there are times where it can be quite
intrusive, but with proper limitation, it’s generally good a practice.
● Choices mainly decided by the family
○ The family should never decide for their own child, instead, they should influence
the child's choices through their wisdom based on actual experiences and facts
rather than speculation and rumors. Deciding everything for the child would be
detrimental to their autonomy and initiative.

 ● Everyone in the household should eat together
○ This is a good practice with no foreseeable downsides. When the household is
eating together, they can further bond by discussing problems or by simple
conversations.
● Strict parental guidance even after adulthood
○ If a parent is still strictly guiding there children in their adulthood, it means that
they did not teach the child autonomy. Parental guidance in adulthood should be
moderate, but not strict. The child has to make decisions for himself, mainly
based on his personal experiences.
