This short video got my attention because of what the girl describes about how Filipinos are. Whoever going to watch this will have a smile and can laugh about it because it's true.
The girl describe some Filipino cultural values in this video. I can recognize one of them as the "kapwa" which is the feeling of togetherness when a Filipino meet another Filipino, they will get so excited and start feeling connected already to each other instantly. Another one is the " pakikisama" which means Filipino Americans will gather other family members to accommodate just to host a party and watch Manny Paquiao fight and individual will cancel other schedule just to attend the family function. There's also so much to say about various family and household practices in the common Filipino American household that she mentioned in the video which are true. These are the furniture that you can often see in the Filipino house like the piano, last supper frame, rice cookers..and the funny thing she said, "A meal is not a meal without a rice." The dishwasher is often use as a storage. The Filipino famous gestures of raising an eyebrows meaning yes, the pointing of lips and the hand signal of a square to get the bill in the restaurant. The letter "P" to replace all the words in the English letter starting with an "F".
These are just some of the things you'll know that one is a Filipino. I don't care what other may say about Filipino are and what we are noted for, all i can comment about it is that....I am proud to be a Filipino.
I remember watching this! Totally agree.
