• Hospitability


  It's one of the most popular traits of Filipinos. We are usually friendly and welcoming to our guests.
• Helpful to others/Bayanihan


  Unity in Bayanihan spirit manifests our close relationship with our neighbors. In our Barangays and most subdivisions, the people in the neighborhood know each other, talk to each other, and protect each other.
• Respectful (mano, po and opo, halik sa kamay). 


  Filipinos are courteous people. The children and the young Filipinos will always use the words "po" and "opo" to show respect to someone who is older or who has higher position than them. We also do the "mano po" gesture as a sign of respect to our elders.
• Bravery


  There is a hero's blood running on our veins. We have the most fearless heroes who only think of defending our homeland. Remember Lapu-Lapu, Andress Bonifacio and Jose Rizal
• Jolliness and Sense of Humor


  The Philippines is a country of smiles. Nothing can take away the humor and jolliness of many Filipinos... not even super typhoon Yolanda - the strongest recorded typhoon that made a landfall
• Discretion and dignity


  Our people, especially the Filipinas, still observe delicadeza. Many Filipinos who always think twice before they make a decision that can affect their dignity and honor
• Gratefulness


  Filipinos are also thankful. We don't forget anyone who helped us, whether he (she) is a Filipino or not. We even build monuments to show our utmost respect and gratitude
• Honesty and commitment


  "palabra de honor" When we make a promise, we try our best to fulfill that promise even if it will undermine ourselves.
• Helpfulness


  even if the Philippines is not a big and rich country, we still grant aids to other countries in need.
• Family oriented


  Filipinos are willing to make big sacrifices just to make sure that their loved ones will have a good life. Many Filipino breadwinners work extraordinarily hard just to earn
• Adaptability and resilience


  Filipinos are persistent enough to get back on their feet, even without the solid help from the government. Despite all the calamities that struck our country, like the strong earthquake and Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan)
• Resourcefulness and creativity. 


  We are creative in many ways, whether it's in art, music, science, technology and business. Some of our smartest countrymen can come up with a brilliant idea despite poverty or lack of financial resources.
• Faithfulness


  The Filipinos are one of the most faithful people in the world. Whatever our religion is, we remain faithful and we don't lose hope for a better tomorrow

• Filipino negative values

  Fatalism

  Crab mentality

  Ningas-Kugon

  Filipino Time

  Colonial Mentality

  General Disregard for Rules

  "Mañana Habit"

  Corruption

  Gossiping

  Passivity (lack of leadership)
• Fatalism


  An ATTITUDE of "what goes around, comes around" or "come what may." We

  have a tendency to surrender our future to fate.
• Crab mentality


  tend to push each other down to clear the way "If I can't have it, neither can your for their own gain.
• Ningas-Kugon


  Translated to "burning cogon grass" in English, this idiom is meant to illustrate how Filipinos initially exhibit great enthusiasm at the beginning of a project.
• Filipino Time


  refers to the Filipinos' own unique brand of time, which is known to be minutes or hours behind the standard time. In other words, we tend not to observe punctuality at all.
• Colonial Mentality


  defined as a preference for all things foreign over our own, a negative trait we acquired from our days under the Spanish and the Americans.
• General Disregard for Rules


  Filipinos are known law abiding individuals but with stronger inclination

  to disregard these laws. Many Filipino enforcers are corrupt, incompetent and ill equipped to enforce the law. So the tendency is to break and even ignore the laws.
• Mañana Habit


  This is another habit which keeps the development of our country slow. Look at the government projects which have been left undone for years. Instead of working on a task while there is much time, we wait for the deadline because we feel lazy to start on them, or we want to use the time in other things.
• Corruption


  One of the biggest social ills our country has continued to face since time immemorial is embedded deep within our system and reinforced by a complex web of economic and social factors which include personal ambitions and a twisted sense of loyalty to friends and kin.
• Gossiping


  Filipinos are fond of talking about others' business.
• Passivity (lack of leadership)


  Filipinos' lack of initiative for change is also one reason why our country does not progress. We keep on complaining against the government and other societal issues.
• Weakness of the Filipino Character

  Extreme Personalism

  Extreme Family Centeredness

  Lack of Discipline

  Passivity and Lack of Initiative

  Colonial Mentality

  Kanya-Kanya Syndrome

  Lack of Self-analysis and Self-reflection
• Extreme Personalism


  Filipinos view the world in terms of personal relationships; no separation between objective task and emotional involvement. "Take things personally".
• Extreme Family Centeredness


  Excessive concern for family manifests itself in the use of one's office and power as a means of promoting the interest of the family, factionalism, patronage and political dynasties, and in the protection of erring family members.
• Lack of Discipline


  A relaxed attitude towards time and space which manifests itself in lack of precision and compulsiveness, in poor time management and procrastination.
• Passivity and Lack of Initiative


  Filipinos are generally passive and lacking in initiative. There is strong reliance on others (e.g., leaders, government) to do things for us related to our need for a strong authority.
• Colonial Mentality


  the first is a lack of patriotism or an active awareness, appreciation and love of the Philippines; the second is an actual preference for foreign things.
• Kanya-Kanya Syndrome


  Filipinos have a selfish, self-serving attitude that generates a feeling of envy and competitiveness toward others, particularly one's peers who seem to have gained some status or prestige.
• Lack of Self-analysis and Self-reflection


  There is a tendency in the Filipino to be superficial and even somewhat flighty. In the face of serious problems, both personal and social, there is lack of

  analysis or reflection.
• Lack of faith


  One of our excuses that our small actions can bring change.
