 question #04
. Discuss how being a Filipino affects your "Self". How can becoming a better
Filipino influence your duty to become a better version of yourself?

Being a Filipino affects my “Self” in many ways. It has shaped my values, beliefs, and identity.
It has taught me to be resilient, to be family-oriented, and to be proud of my heritage. It
has also taught me to be humble, to be generous, and to be compassionate. It has also
instilled in me a strong sense of community and a commitment to helping others. Being a
Filipino has also made me more open to different cultures and perspectives, and has helped
me to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the world. Finally, being a Filipino has also given
me a unique perspective on life and a unique set of experiences that I wouldn’t have had if I
wasn’t Filipino.
