The document provides a biopsychosocial analysis of what constitutes a Filipino identity. It examines the biological, psychological, and socio-cultural influences that shape the Filipino mind, heart, and soul. The biological components include physical traits like brown skin and black hair that result from the mixing of Austronesian, Spanish, American, and other ethnicities. Psychologically, Filipinos are resilient, family-oriented, and take pride in their nationality. Socio-culturally, they value collectivism, hospitality, and helping their community through traditions like "bayanihan". An integrated approach is needed to understand the complete Filipino experience.
The 19th century witnessed major advances in science and technology, including the formulation of atomic theory, the periodic table, the law of conservation of energy, and discoveries in physics like the electron. Important innovations included the electric telegraph, dynamo, and transition to electricity powering machines. Science and technology continued advancing in the 20th century with computers, the internet, artificial intelligence, and other breakthroughs. The Philippines has a long history of science and technology dating before the Spanish arrival, and its development has been influenced by Spanish colonization, American rule, and emphasis under Marcos and subsequent governments.
The document describes the social hierarchy that existed in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. At the top were the Peninsulares, Spaniards born in Spain who held the highest social status and political power. Below them were the Insulares, Spaniards born in the Philippines who faced some discrimination. The Ilustrados constituted an educated Filipino middle class influenced by Spanish liberal ideals. Mestizos and Indios comprised the mixed-race and native Filipino populations at the lower levels of society.
The document discusses the influence of American dance on Filipino culture following the 1898 colonization of the Philippines by the United States. It introduces several dances like the cakewalk, buck-and-wing, and foxtrot that became popular. Filipinos later organized their own dance troupes and experienced ballet performances. American rhythm was described as frenzied and cheerful, with one dance called the boogie-woogie influencing Filipino culture. Francisca Reyes Hauno recorded ethnic and folk dances from tribal communities in the Philippines.
The document discusses the traits and characteristics of Filipinos. It identifies several positive traits such as being hospitable, respectful, having strong family ties, being generous, hardworking, loving, family-oriented, adaptable, creative, and able to survive difficult circumstances.

Magellan arrived in the Philippines in 1521 as part of a Spanish expedition searching for the Spice Islands. He claimed the Philippines for Spain but was killed in 1521 during a battle with Lapu-Lapu and his warriors on Mactan Island. In 1565, Spain began colonizing the Philippines under Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and sought to spread Catholicism. The Spanish established central and local governments, but the church exercised significant influence, leading the government to be called "Frailocracia."
Early Filipinos lived in communities near bodies of water for access to food and protection. They resided in caves, nipa huts, tree houses, and houses on stilts. Their livelihoods included agriculture using kaingin and wet methods, hunting, boat-making, and trading using gold standards. Communities were organized into barangays led by a datu and council of elders who established laws and resolved conflicts. Society comprised datus, maharlika, timawa, and alipin. Burial practices varied among groups and included burying in trees, caves, or under homes.
The document provides a literature review on import products in hardware establishments. It discusses foreign literature on international trade and how trade differs between domestic and international markets.

The Propaganda Movement was a campaign for reforms in the Philippines led by educated and patriotic Filipinos called ilustrados in the late 19th century. They crusaded peacefully through writing and speeches to expose the abuses of Spanish colonial rule and push for reforms like equal rights, representation in the Cortes, and expulsion of the friars. Notable propagandists included Marcelo Del Pilar, Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez Jaena, and Mariano Ponce. They established organizations like La Solidaridad and joined secret societies like Freemasonry to spread their message. While the movement did not achieve concrete reforms, it awakened Filipino nationalism and set the stage for the revolution.
The Biak-na-Bato Pact established a ceasefire between Emilio Aguinaldo's rebel forces and the Spanish government in 1897. Under the pact, Aguinaldo agreed to go into exile in Hong Kong in exchange for a large monetary payment and a promise of reforms and independence for the Philippines within three years. However, neither side fully trusted the other, and clashes continued after Aguinaldo left. In 1898, Aguinaldo returned from exile and declared Philippine independence after the US defeated Spain in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. The Treaty of Paris later that year ended the war by transferring control of the Philippines from Spain to the United States.
The document discusses Spanish colonial influences in the Philippines. It describes the centralized Spanish system of government, with the King of Spain and Governor General in Manila holding the highest positions of power. Local governance was organized around provinces governed by Alcalde Mayors and cities with Ayuntamientos (city governments) and Cabildos (city councils).

Education during the spanish regime and its colonial effects group 4Lorena Cantong
During Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines (1565-1898):
1. Education was controlled by the Catholic Church and aimed to convert Filipinos to Catholicism. Religious orders established schools and universities to teach religion.
2. The oldest universities and the first public education system in Asia were created, but education remained limited. It was underdeveloped and mostly privileged Spanish students.
3. Some educated Filipinos called Ilustrados sought educational reforms and challenged Spanish rule, representing one effect of the colonial education system. However, most Filipinos remained unable to learn beyond their native languages.
This document discusses the origins of the early inhabitants of the Philippines based on three sources of information:
1) The biblical story of creation describes the first man and woman originating from Adam and Eve. Some believe the first settlers were Tharsis and his brothers.
2) The theory of evolution proposes that early Filipinos descended from apelike creatures thousands of years ago. Scientists believe people migrated in waves, including short Negritos 25,000 years ago, taller Indonesians 5,000 years ago, and Malays 2,000 years ago who established a more advanced culture.
3) Legends and folktales like the Story of Malakas and Maganda and the Story of the Brown People

This document contains a poem about the enduring nature of love between two people who cannot fully express or act on their feelings. The poem suggests that even after separation or finding other loves, those who share a deep connection in silence or from a distance will always remember and feel drawn to each other. Their love survives due to its roots in dreams, loneliness, and an inability to fully come together that prevents it from being diminished by reality or time.

This poem explores the speaker's identity as both a man of earth yet descended from bamboo according to folklore, leaving him questioning if he is of the body or the green leaf and whether he must share all his sins and grief. While the bamboo is pliant, the speaker asserts that though he might have been bamboo, he will be a man, asking God to test his flexibility.
The document discusses analogies and their crucial or decisive parts. It provides examples of analogies and asks which part is most important. For the analogy of a nut and its kernel, the kernel is identified as the most vital part. Another analogy example provided is a picture and its frame, asking which surrounds the other. Both a ring surrounding a finger and a fence surrounding a yard seem to fit, but upon further reflection, a frame borders a picture and a fence borders a yard, making fence:yard the logical match.
This document provides lesson materials on what makes Filipinos unique, including pictures, word clusters, and a biography of Carlos P. Romulo who wrote about being proud to be Filipino. Students are asked to discuss Romulo's description of Filipino qualities and strengths, and whether today's youth still embody these traits of resilience, spirit, and potential for heroism. The lesson aims to foster pride and insight into Filipino identity and history.
Bamboo offers seven life lessons:
1. Be flexible yet firmly rooted like bamboo that sways gently in the wind without breaking.
2. What looks weak can be strong, like bamboo that endures extremes and remains standing.
3. Be ever ready for action through training like the warrior bamboo.
4. Have the power to spring back after adversity like bamboo covered in snow.
5. Find wisdom in emptiness by emptying your mind of preconceptions like the hollow bamboo.
6. Commit to continuous growth, moving forward steadily over time like the fast-growing bamboo.
7. Express usefulness through simplicity like bamboo that is simple yet expresses its usefulness.
The document compares the Filipino people to bamboo in their ability to withstand adversity. It describes a story where a mango tree and bamboo tree compete in enduring wind, with the bamboo bending to survive while the mango breaks. Similarly, Filipinos have endured centuries of foreign domination from Spain, US, and Japan by yielding and embracing new cultures while maintaining their own identity and philosophical outlook. Their resilience and ability to adapt like the bamboo is what has allowed Filipinos to survive challenges and maintain optimism.
Romulo describes himself as a Filipino who inherits both a glorious past from his hardy Malayan ancestors who first settled the land, as well as an uncertain future. He feels a responsibility both to honor his ancestors and ensure his children's freedom. Romulo's blood carries the immortal seed of heroes who fought against foreign oppressors for independence. As both a child of the East and West, he stands at the vanguard of progress and will not rest until democracy, justice and equality are secured in his homeland for future generations.
The bamboo tree is able to withstand harsh winds by bending gracefully rather than resisting and breaking like stronger trees. Similarly, Filipinos are able to endure life's hardships by accepting their circumstances with flexibility and optimism. They do not worry about problems but face each new day with hope. This ability to adapt smoothly to challenges is a source of pride and what allows Filipinos to maintain happiness despite difficulties.
The document discusses analogy tests, which measure reasoning ability through comparisons of relationships between pairs of words. It defines analogy tests and outlines several types of relationships that can be tested, such as word meanings, categories, causes and effects. Examples of analogy questions are provided to illustrate each relationship type. Suggestions are made for constructing effective analogy tests, such as using parallel language and ensuring distractors are plausible.
- An analogy compares two concepts to explain an unfamiliar idea by drawing parallels between them. It can be used as a type of argument or figure of speech like a simile or metaphor.
- Jodi Picoult uses the analogy of a burning building to represent the threat of death, with the mother willing to risk her own life to save her child, just as the character sends her child into danger to save another.
- John Green compares being trapped in life's decisions to being lost in a labyrinth, with people imagining escaping it through an idealized future, just as the character feels trapped in her present circumstances.
This document defines narrative text as a story that contains a plot with an orientation, complication, and resolution. Narratives are used to entertain readers and teach life lessons by transporting them to imaginary worlds. The generic structure of a narrative includes an orientation to introduce characters and set the scene, a complication involving a crisis, and a resolution that solves the crisis for better or worse. Language features commonly found in narratives are specific nouns, adjectives, time connectives, adverbs, action verbs, and saying words. The document provides the example of the Cinderella story to illustrate the generic structure of a narrative.
The document discusses various analogies that can be drawn between the transport processes of momentum, heat, and mass. It explains that the basic transport mechanisms are the same and the governing equations are identical in form. Various analogies are presented, including the Reynolds analogy and modifications by Prandtl and von Korman that account for viscous sublayers and buffer layers in turbulent transport.
This document discusses various aspects of consumer imagery and perception. It explains that consumer imagery refers to consumers buying products that align with their self-image. It then outlines issues like product positioning, perceived price, quality, and risk. It provides examples of how products are positioned for specific benefits. Finally, it examines strategies for positioning and discusses factors that influence a consumer's perception of price, quality, and risk.

It also found that while the analysis provided rich data, the conclusion overgeneralized that Filipino culture cannot change its approach to time. The critique argues people and cultures are not static and being globally aware, new generations of Filipinos may be able to enact positive changes to perceptions of punctuality.

The Filipino people are natives to the island of the Philippines, there are about 104
million Filipinos living in the Philippines. There are around 108 languages spoken in the
Philippines. Filipino and English being predominant. Most Filipinos are bilingual and
trilingual. Most Filipinos refer to themselves colloquialy as ―Pinoy‖ (feminine: ―Pinay‖).
Before colonization we come from a group of Malayo-Polynesian speaking people including
those from Indonesia, Malaysia, malagsy the non-hanchinese Taiwanese Aboroginals. Also
adding to our list is our own ―ITAs‖ or native of the Philippines. With them we’ve got our
Asian blood,which is mostly brown in complexion, short in stature and brown eyes.
6. In later years we have been colonized by three more Countries, Namely Spain, which
colonized us for more than 400 years, Japan and the Americans.
Physical Characteristics of a FIlipino
Eyes: Most have almond shaped eyes, not really slanted. Some have double eyelids, others have
single eyelids. Chinese and Japanese have single eyelids. Most of us have dark irises: the darkest
shade of brown; almost black. Though there are some who have medium brown eyes or light brown.
With the facial features, most of the people from Baguio - Ifugao area have slanted eyes and
rounded faces. Sometimes, I think they look like Chinese. There's a place in Rizal province, around
Cainta... the people there look like Indians -- aquiline nose, brown skin, round, deep set eyes, but
they speak Tagalog like native Tagalogs, Indians intermarried with Filipinos.
Face : Most of the people I see here have oval shaped faces. It depends on the person as well,
expect chubby people to have more rounded faces. Though there are some who have prominent
jaws... their faces appear to be square. Some have angular faces -- pointy chin and high or
prominent cheek bones.
Complexion: it varies, people of Chinese or Spanish descent are usually fairer. Some older people
from Cavite City Area look like mestizas , they have got fairer skin compared to others and they
have freckles or maybe age spots. They speak a Spanish-like dialect called Chavacano.
Though it still varies cos some people get a fake tan. Basically our complexion ranges from fair,
olive, light tan to dark brown. Most fall under "olive to brown skin".
Nose: it varies as well, Filipinos of Spanish descent usually have aquiline noses. Most have low
bridged noses (mmm not really literally flat). Chinese girls have somewhat "small" noses, even at the
tip -- a dainty feature. Most of the Filipinos' noses have somewhat a rounded "tip", which make
them appear bigger.
Hair : Usually black, some have brown-black hair. Some have pin straight hair, most have wavy hair,
others have curly hair. But since hair rebonding is available, people can avail of getting a straight
hair... there was a time in year 2003-2007 I think... Long black straight hair for women became a
national obsession! Until now it applies to some.

Whose heart were willing to commit

the nation of my birth with volcanoes
of fire and balls of cannon that can split
thy land unto tiny dusts to unseen echoes.
I am a Filipino, proud of my humble roots
of a gentle loving and valiant Malayan spirit
land been conquered but never surrendered
the culture of its birth and ancestor’s merit
of great love for country that can’t be toppled
even by nation with powers that can delete
this land out of the face of this great world
as all thy children vow to die with all valor
to defend the pride and honor of the Filipinos.

Filipinos are known for being hospitable, but it’s not only the positive trait that Filipinos
possess. Having been colonized by various countries, the Philippine culture, in effect, is mixed with
Asian and Western influences. Thus, the Philippine culture is diverse and can be reflected in the our
traits.
Hard-working
Filipinos over the years have proven time and time again that they are a people with an industrious
attitude. Sadly, this is seen by others as Filipinos being only useful as domestic helpers, working
abroad to help their families in the country. This is also present in the country’s workforce
particularly the farmers. Even with little support, technological weaknesses and the country’s
seasonal typhoons, the Filipino farmer still strives to earn their daily meal.
Even though the government provides small support to the country’s workers, many people choose to
engage in micro businesses—the so-called sari-sari stores and tiangge, the Filipino version of local
markets and ukay-ukay, or second-hand stores.
Some would also pursue engaging in transportation with jeepneys, tricycles and such to offer lowcost transportation to the ever mobile masses.
Though these are some examples on how Filipinos get by with everyday living, these work
opportunities offer only minimum pay but Filipinos still pursue them in hopes of giving their children
a decent life and proper education so they could elevate themselves to a higher standard of living.
8. Strong family ties
In the country the people put family ties and relations as one of their top priorities. Filipinos would
do all they could to provide and sustain their respective families. This is present in Filipino festivals
where they invite the whole family and in Sundays where they would make time to use it to spend
the whole day for their families.
You will find that it is common in the country to include the extended members not just the normal
nuclear family. It is not unusual that in a single household it would reach up to ten members of a
family living under the same roof. They value each other’s company, and everyone strives to provide
for the whole and not just for them.
Even grandparents still have an active role in the family. It is now the norm in the society that both
parents are out working, leaving the care of their children to the lolos and lolas, especially if the
family cannot afford to hire a nanny. Grandparents therefore become responsible for instilling into
their grandchildren the values and morals they taught to their own children, further increasing the
importance of the elderly in our society.
Honesty
Being a hard-working people, the Filipinos are also honest. In general, they would prefer to work
hard for an honest day’s pay than to find an easier way like stealing or cheating.
As in the case of overseas Filipino workers or OFWs, they are mostly domestic helpers and though
given a job which requires a lot of trust from the employer as they are left alone with their
belongings or children, it is rare that Filipinos would do anything to betray or lose the trust that is
given to them. We see so many Filipinos working in the homes of other families precisely because
they can be trusted.
But even in our own country, Filipinos have displayed honesty in various forms, may it be from a taxi
driver returning a dropped phone or wallet. Filipinos would choose to do the right thing, though
sometimes this is not necessarily true.
Religious
The Philippines is one the most religious countries in world, particularly in Catholicism and Islam.
Families would encourage and strengthen the values of their children and would at least have one
day a week for worship and at the same time strengthening family ties.
Religion is the foundation of most of the country’s morals and values and sometimes, the church
greatly affects the minds and opinions of the general populace, affecting its decisions. Sadly, this
also applies to the government as they are troubled by whatever the Church’s stand is in every
matter, as people see their opinion to be the ―right‖ one. Thus, many of our politicians go with
whatever the Church says, fearing that they would lose vote if they go against it.
Resiliency
The Philippines is a hotspot for disasters, natural and otherwise. Couple that with poverty, and one
would think that Filipinos have the most reason for being a depressed people. However, we have
demonstrated time and again that Filipinos can bounce back from a tragedy, emerging stronger and
better than before. In the middle of a disaster, Filipinos can still manage to smile and be hopeful
that the next morning brings new hope.
We have shown the world that by working together as a nation, we have what it takes to recover
from a bad situation. This is something that all of us should be proud of, no matter where in the
world we are.
With all of these good traits (and more!), one would really be proud to say, ―I am a Filipino.‖
Filipinos have shown the world that by working together, we have what it takes to recover from a
bad situation—and this is a trait that we should all be proud of.

Close family ties – To a Filipino, family comes first & family is everything. He lives with it and
depends on it. His dreams, aspirations and life are always centred on his family. This family
solidarity keeps a Filipino to be positive amidst everything. He works hard to ensure a better life
for the family. Family is evidently highly valued in the Philippines, thus, the government also
strengthens Filipino family and in great support to ensure work-family balance.
“Utangnaloob” or debt of gratitude – Filipinos always recognize one’s indebtedness. This means
that he owed to a person who has helped him through the trials he had undergone. He repays that
person in whatever kind, whatever time and situation. It is one way of showing deep appreciation
for lending out a hand.
Hiya – It is a Filipino value that is difficult to translate. Literally it has several meanings such as
shy, timid, sensitive rather than ashamed. Filipinos believe they must live up to the accepted
10. standards of behaviour and make it a point not to cause another person’s embarrassment. Each is
anticipated to have hiya in the way they behave to win respect from the community. This is a value
that gives a Filipino a sense of social decency and politeness.
Pakikisama – There is no exact English translation for this word. It means getting along with
others to preserve a harmonious relationship. It invites the Filipinos to do good and to be a nice
companion. The value of pakikisama results in camaraderie and a feeling of closeness to one
another. Pakikisama is also sharing one’s wealth, talent, time and self with fellow human beings and
working together for a common good. This value bridges the gap between cultures.
Respect to Others - Filipinos regard others with dignity and respect This is being observed in a
basic sense of justice, fairness and concern for others fellowmen, nature or animals.
The above values are the root of many other values. Close family ties makes a Filipino a
hardworking and industrious person. A Filipino will do anything for his family that also makes him
optimistic, flexible, adaptable, and creative.
Hiya, pakikisama, utangnaloob & respect to others make a Filipino an individual with unique moral
obligation to treat one another resulting to community ties. These values make Filipinos friendly,
hospitable, polite & loyal.
In brief, the Filipino core values influence how they behave in any situation. The Philippines is
recognized in having “collectivist” culture indicated by close family ties and community ties in
society. Filipino values are centred at preserving social harmony, motivated mainly by the
desire to be accepted within a group. This makes a Filipino a reliable person that can easily
integrate and work with anyone, anytime, anyhow & anywhere.

I am a Filipino - inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such I must prove equal
to a two-fold task- the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my
obligation to the future.
I sprung from a hardy race - child of many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the
centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships
that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing
wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope- hope in the free abundance of
new land that was to be their home and their children's forever.
This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and
mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that
their view encompassed, every river and lake that promise a plentiful living and the fruitfulness of
commerce, is a hollowed spot to me.
11. By the strength of their hearts and hands, by every right of law, human and divine, this land and all the
appurtenances thereof - the black and fertile soil, the seas and lakes and rivers teeming with fish, the
forests with their inexhaustible wealth in wild life and timber, the mountains with their bowels swollen
with minerals - the whole of this rich and happy land has been, for centuries without number, the land
of my fathers. This land I received in trust from them and in trust will pass it to my children, and so on
until the world no more.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes - seed that flowered down the centuries
in deeds of courage and defiance. In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to
battle against the alien foe that drove Diego Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign
oppressor.
That seed is immortal. It is the self-same seed that flowered in the heart of Jose Rizal that morning in
Bagumbayan when a volley of shots put an end to all that was mortal of him and made his spirit
deathless forever; the same that flowered in the hearts of Bonifacio in Balintawak, of Gergorio del
Pilar at Tirad Pass, of Antonio Luna at Calumpit; that bloomed in flowers of frustration in the sad heart
of Emilio Aguinaldo at Palanan, and yet burst fourth royally again in the proud heart of Manuel L.
Quezon when he stood at last on the threshold of ancient Malacañang Palace, in the symbolic act of
possession and racial vindication.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my manhood, the symbol of dignity as
a human being. Like the seeds that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand years
ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the insigne of my race, and my generation is but
a stage in the unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.
I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The East, with its languor and
mysticism, its passivity and endurance, was my mother, and my sire was the West that came
thundering across the seas with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of the East, an eager
participant in its struggles for liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East must
awake from its centuried sleep, shape of the lethargy that has bound his limbs, and start moving where
destiny awaits.
For, I, too, am of the West, and the vigorous peoples of the West have destroyed forever the peace and
quiet that once were ours. I can no longer live, being apart from those world now trembles to the roar
of bomb and cannon shot. For no man and no nation is an island, but a part of the main, there is no
longer any East and West - only individuals and nations making those momentous choices that are
hinges upon which history resolves.
At the vanguard of progress in this part of the world I stand - a forlorn figure in the eyes of some, but
not one defeated and lost. For through the thick, interlacing branches of habit and custom above me I
have seen the light of the sun, and I know that it is good. I have seen the light of justice and equality
and freedom and my heart has been lifted by the vision of democracy, and I shall not rest until my land
and my people shall have been blessed by these, beyond the power of any man or nation to subvert or
destroy.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give that I may prove worthy of my
inheritance? I shall give the pledge that has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it
12. shall be compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears when they first saw the contours of
this land loom before their eyes, of the battle cries that have resounded in every field of combat from
Mactan to Tirad pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:
Land of the Morning,Child of the sun returning...Ne'er shall invadersTrample thy sacred shore.
Out of the lush green of these seven thousand isles, out of the heartstrings of sixteen million people all
vibrating to one song, I shall weave the mighty fabric of my pledge. Out of the songs of the farmers at
sunrise when they go to labor in the fields; out of the sweat of the hard-bitten pioneers in Mal-ig and
Koronadal; out of the silent endurance of stevedores at the piers and the ominous grumbling of
peasants Pampanga; out of the first cries of babies newly born and the lullabies that mothers sing; out
of the crashing of gears and the whine of turbines in the factories; out of the crunch of ploughs
upturning the earth; out of the limitless patience of teachers in the classrooms and doctors in the
clinics; out of the tramp of soldiers marching, I shall make the pattern of my pledge:
"I am a Filipino born of freedom and I shall not rest until freedom shall have been added unto my
inheritance - for myself and my children's children - forever.
Carlos Romulo.
