Promoting Filipino Cultural Identity

Anywhere in the world people prefer the distinctive, one with character, not anything bland and featureless…

FILIPINOS LOVE TO CONNECT, ESPECIALLY TO PEOPLE… • Among the most highly relational in the world, Filipinos are hardly alone. • They are happy being together - when they eat, sleep, work, travel, pray, create or celebrate. • They feel connected to the world, God and nature, but most of all to people.

“Nobody likes to be left out of a photo session ”

Togetherness is happiness… • Filipinos hardly eat alone • Invite a person to your party, how many will come? • Bantay (watcher) & extra bed • Picture-taking mania • Prizes for everybody

• Pabalot, balato, bonus (forms of sharing) • Pasalubong( quasisacred ritual: gift from a journey) • Cannot keep secrets • Relational terms for calling each other • Texting capital of the world
