Filipino Values

Filipinos are known for their joyful and positive outlook even in difficult times. They value respect, religion, community spirit, bravery, strong family ties, hospitality, hard work, flexibility, and creativity. However, some weaknesses include extreme personalism, laziness, colonial mentality, crab mentality, a "bahala na" attitude of passivity, "ningas-cogon" enthusiasm that lacks follow-through, and a lack of discipline. Filipino culture places great importance on relationships, religion, and family.

feeling of envy and competitiveness towards others, particularly
