What do you think is the
root of Filipino
resilience?
This ability to cope with pressure,
frustration and ultimately failure
means that resilient people are…

• More likely to take risks (because

they’re not as afraid of the
consequences).
• Better at handling both personal and
professional setbacks (they “bounce
back” quicker).
• More tolerant of other people (like
annoying co-workers and clients).
More determined.
• A great influence on other people
Resilient individuals tend to have these
common characteristics…

• A positive attitude.
• Confidence and calmness.
• A willingness to ask for help.
• Empathy and understanding.
• Persistence and determination.
Questions:

• Why were you stressed?

• How did you cope?
• What happened in the end?
• Could you avoid this stress in
the future?
On the other hand, is
Filipino resiliency a
problem?
