Is the basic or the most fundamental unit
in any society. Sociologists and
anthropologists define the family as a
group of
people who are united by ties of
marriage, ancestry or adoption.
The family is at the center of the Filipino
community. Children are not expected to leave
their parents' house until they themselves get
married; and even after then, many couples
opt to stay with or close to their or their
spouse's parents. Also, they're expected to
care for their ageing parents instead of
sending them to a retirement home.
This is why it's common to see different
generations or multiple families living in
a single residence. The value that
Filipinos put into caring for one's family
can also be seen as one of the reasons
why
nurses and caregivers from the country
provide their patients and clients with a
high level of care.
