Who is Filipino by Joana Mae Lipnica

Filipino are the people who are native in the Philippines. Their language was Tagalog. You can discern Filipino on their culture, bearing, speech and their characteristics. Filipinos have deep-rooted values that can be seen in the way they live. Filipinos also value their family, they have called close family ties or extended families were lolo, lola and some titas and titos stays with the family.

You can recognize Filipino on their mannerism like they eat with their hands. They nod upwards to greet someone, they bless (Mano) to the elders. They position their foot up on the chair and rest their elbow on the knees while they eat. You can also distinguish Filipinos on their thoughts like a tree that full of fruits is what being pelted with stones. You can also identify Filipinos while they playing basketball without slippers.

Filipinos are different in unique ways. That is what, we Filipinos must be proud of. We view things in different perspective. We live our lives the way we wanted to. We have the determination to fight for what we believe is right. We are not scared to face the world and tell them that we can.
