ACTIVITY 1
Think about or reflect on your past. Has your past influenced you in one way or
another? How does your past shape your identity and behavior?
According to my father that my grandfather has a pure blood Chinese from mandarin
group and my grandmother she’s mestiza (mixed race) Ilocana and Spanish. During the
Spanish colonization they are started restricting activities and Chinese immigrant here in
Philippines that’s why my grandfather surname had changed it to avoid deportation, therefore
my father his mixed Chinese Ilocano and my mother she’s pure Filipina IIongga from capiz. By
reason of I always thought in my mind the root of my blood and identity my physical
appearance and behavior is still in my mind until now that make influenced of who am I. My
skin tone is lighter and my nose is pointed small because of I have a portion of Chinese blood.
My father his mix Ilocano from La Union adapted the dialect which is Ilocano but I can spoke a
little Ilocano even though my dialect spoken everyday is Cebuano because of what does our
parent spoken when we’re young same what we’ve followed maybe because of our barangay
has more Cebuano dialect spoken. As our parents live in a simple way it was imprinted in my
mind on how they save money and the priorities due to financial problem is that’s make what I
did now and for the future. My father also influence me his hobbies of cooking especially
vegetables like a dish called “Dinengdeng” https://panlasangpinoy.com/dinengdeng-recipe/
because iIocano’s people like vegetable with bagoong isda. My mother also like “biko”,. In
terms of behavior they taught us to be respectful older than us saying Po and Opo and
Salamat. They taught us how to be diligent and obedient morally.
