Bayanihan is derived from the words bayan (community) and

bayani (heroes) happens when Filipinos unite to do heroic acts for

individual and communities in need without expecting anything in
return. Giving aid without being asked, even to strangers is an
enduring Filipino culture.
The best identity of the Filipino is this value of Bayanihan, it
is normal to the Philippines. You will notice that the Filipino values
are very important. In when we hear Bayanihan, every one will
volunteer. It has something to do with malasakit, pakikipagkapwa-
tao, pagdadamayan, pakikisama and utang na loob. I had so
many cases that I saw Bayanihan values especially when
calamities happened like typhoon. When typhoon hits, and some
electric post lay down, that is 100 percent sure that everyone will
fix that and do the man power to help each other. One another
example of Bayanihan values is when house is on fire, that is 100
percent sure that everyone in the neighbourhood will help to get
the water to kill the fire. That is the reality of Bayanihan Acts of
the Filipinos. As one of my experience wherein I involved in a
Bayanihan Acts is when I helped my community to cut down the
trees. We cut the trees so easily because o Bayanihan Act. It was
a nice experience because the socialization is there, I met a lot of
new friends and it was a nice and memorable experience. I notice
the power of being together wherein I realized that, the best way
to finish and enjoy the work is being with group of people helping
each other and having a one goal.
I am a Filipino and I value bayanihan. We Filipinos supports
our countrymen in times of needed.
