Filipinos are very resilient in times of calamity, managing to smile and rise up despite losing their livelihoods and homes. They have a strong sense of family where family members support and encourage one another. Filipinos also have a culture of respect, using terms like "po" and "opo" for elders and raising the back of the hand to the forehead to show respect. There is also a culture of helping one another, known as "bayanihan", where Filipinos will readily help those in need.

The aspects that I like in Filipino culture is that, first, Filipinos are very
resilient especially in times of calamities and catastrophes, where their livelihood,
houses and source of income and basic needs was gone, they still have the courage to smile and rise up. Filipinos always manage to rise above the challenge, and some will say “It’s just a calamity, we're Filipinos" and this saying give us strength to move forward.
Instead of wallowing, they manage to pick themselves up and smile.
Second, Filipinos has a strong family bond, they always think their family first than their selves. They make sure that each of the family members is happy and they are always there support and encourage each other. Sometimes, even you are not their blood related they will considered you as their family. Third, Filipinos are respectful, elders always taught the younger ones how to be respectful by using these simple catchphrases—po and opo, words that end sentences when addressing elders. They have a culture of pagmamano, which is where they raise the backs of the hands of their elders to their foreheads as a sign of respect. And fourth, Filipinos help one another also known as bayanihan, everyone is helping each other especially when someone needs help they will not think twice to help you as long as they can.
