taught to look after their
siblings when parents are
working.

ability to adapt life in any part of the world.
Filipino Negative Values
Laziness

It the most common trait


in Filipinos today.
It can be manifested seeingtambays
“ ” very early
in the morning, gambling, drinking liquors,
chatting withfriendsand many more despite of
low income of the family.
Colonial Mentality
The Filipinos’ colonial
mentality comes in two
dimensions: lack of
patriotism or awareness,
appreciation and love for
the country and actual
preference for foreign
things.
Filipino culture is
characterized by openness
to the output-side,
adapting and incorporating
the foreign elements into
our image of ourselves. We
tend to copy the western
culture as to foreign
fashion, music,
entertainment, lifestyle,
technology and consumer
items.
Kanya-KanyaSyndrome (Crab Mentality)
Filipinos have a selfish,-serving
self attitude that
generates a feeling of envy and competitiveness
towards others, particularly one’s peers who
seem to have gained some status and prestige.
Seeing others
became
successful, we
tend to get
jealous and make
a move to put
that person
down.
BahalaNa Attitude
Filipinosare generally passive and lacking in
initiative. One waits to be told what has to be
done. There is strong reliance on others to do
things for us.
Filipinos is too
patient, long-
suffering and too
easily resigned to
one’s fate.
Ningas-cogon
Being enthusiastic only
during the start of new
undertaking but ends
dismally in
accomplishing
nothing.
Lack of Self-Analysis
There is tendency in the
Filipino to be superficial
and even somewhat
flighty. In facing serious
problems, both
personal and social,
there is lack of analysis
or reflection.
We joke about the most
serious matters and this
prevents looking deeply
into the problem.
Lack of Discipline
Filipinos lack of discipline
encompasses several related
characteristics. We have a casual
and relaxed attitude towards
time and space which manifest
itself in lack of precision and
compulsiveness, in poor time
management (Filipino Time) and
in procrastination.
We have an aversion in following strictly a set of
procedures and this results in lack of
standardization and quality control. We are
impatient towards making decisions resulting to
use of short
-cuts.
