Philippines is known to have wide varieties of cultures.

This culutural diversity

is believed to be a result of geographical traits of the country and its hisotrical
background where cultural influence from colonizers has been presented even in
today's time.
Main infleuncers were Spanish, Americans, Chinese, Malays and other nationalities.
It can be observed in both material such as foods originated in other countris and
nonmaterial culture such as religious beleifs of the country.

Main Values:
Family oriented-The family is at the center of the Filipino community. Children are
not expected to leave their parents’ house until they themselves get married; and
even after then, many couples opt to stay with or close to their or their spouse’s
parents. Also, they’re expected to care for their ageing parents instead of sending
them to a retirement home.

This is why it’s common to see different generations or multiple families living in
a single residence. The value that Filipinos put into caring for one’s family can
also be seen as one of the reasons why nurses and caregivers from the country
provide their patients and clients with a high level of care
Optimismm -Optimism, humor, and positivity are valued traits in the Philippines.
The country has a long list of national holidays, and many provinces and cities
have their own sets of local holidays. At the same time, in the face of difficult
or challenging situations, members of the community are encouraged to look at the
brighter side of things.

The inclination for finding the good in the bad can be traced to the country’s
location, which lies in the path of typhoons and sits along the Pacific Ring of
Fire. In a place where natural calamities are commonplace, humor and positivity
work as a coping mechanism, much like how some children laugh to hide their
embarrassment after slipping or falling.
adaptability - The term bahala na, which can be translated to whatever happens,
happens, is one of the more familiar phrases used in the country and is perhaps the
most representative of how Filipinos value adaptability and quick thinking. It
exemplifies one’s belief in a higher power and submitting one’s fate to elements
that cannot be controlled.

People who use the term bahala na do not see anything wrong with it, as it serves
as a sort of positive affirmation that allows them to deal with a problem right
then and there. However, those who do see it negatively often view it as a form of
fatalistic submission or a way to absolve one from the responsibility of their
actions.

faith -spirituality is deeply ingrained in Filipinos. A form of animism was

already being practiced in many pre-colonial societies and Islam has been firmly
established in the southern islands even before the Spanish brought Catholicism to
the country. These days, religion still plays a big part in society and in the
everyday lives of Filipinos.
The Catholic Church’s views still affect the passing of some laws, most towns still
hold fiestas to honor their patron saints, and many regular non-working national
holidays are dedicated to celebrating various religious activities and events. To
many Filipinos, religion helps shape their values and principles.

hospitality - Filipinos in the country and around the globe can be expected to
extend a warm welcome to their guests regardless of where they come from, how well
they know their host, and why they’re visiting someone’s home.

Hosts typically provide their guest with food and entertainment and, if there’s
time, a tour around the local destinations. Before they leave, guests are entreated
to take home pasalubong or souvenirs, which often come in the form of delicacies
and local sweets

Two traits that many foreign visitors often have a difficult time understanding are
Pakikisama and Utang na Loob. Pakikisama roughly means "getting along" and requires
individuals overlook slight improprieties or indiscretions for the sake of
preserving peace within the family, personal, or business relationship. Utang na
Loob refers to the custom of paying back one favor with another (2). These traits
emphasize the importance that Filipino people place on maintaining pleasant
interpersonal relationships and puting the needs of the group ahead of the
individual.
