I am a Proud Filipino

in #filipino7 years ago

We live in the Philippines. It is our native land. It is located in Southeast Asia. We, the people of the Philippines, are called Filipinos. We have our own characteristics that make us different from other races.

Let us practice our beautiful customs and traditions like:

  1. Pagmamano - is kissing the hands of our parents and elders whenever we meet or visit them or during any religious celebration.

  3. Close family ties - is shown by being one in all activities and sticking together as a family through thick and thin.

  4. Utang na loob. is shown by being grateful for favors, help or any assistance given to us by the people around us.
