Filipino Family

Filipinos regard the family as the center of their lives, primary support and source of moral strength.

To the Filipino, happiness is being with the family.

The Filipino family is closely-knit, where strong ties are maintained even after the children have married. It is not surprising to find an extended family system among Filipino families. We may also cite here the system of ranking and seniority with its corresponding authority as existing in the Filipino family --R. Rafael L. Dolor, author of Confucianism and its relevance to the Filipino Family

Balikbayan Box.


Every time a Filipino comes home from abroad it is their duty to never forget to bring home a Balikbayan Box full of chocolates, clothes and accessories as their 'pasalubongs" for their nieces, neighbors' nieghbor and husband's long lost friends. No wonder why one can spot a Filipino in the airport by their luggages alone.
