CULTURE
What is culture- Language, religion, cuisine, social customs,
music, and the arts are all aspects of a particular group of
people's knowledge and characteristics, or culture. The term
"culture" is a general one that refers to social behavior,
institutions, and norms present in human societies as well as the
people that make up these groups as well as their knowledge,
beliefs, and abilities. Culture is frequently said to have originated
in or been influenced by a particular area or place.

IMPORTANCE OF CULTURE
Culture has intrinsic value, but it also has significant social and
economic benefits. Culture improves our quality of life and
boosts overall wellbeing for both individuals and communities
through better learning and health, higher tolerance, and
opportunities for social interaction. We can learn about one
another by immersing ourselves in cultures outside of our own.
This allows us to understand where people are from, what their
traditions are, and what issues they face as a group.

Food Filipino cuisine is heavily influenced by Spain, China, and
India. Most of the filipino foods are heavy on meat and it is
always paired with rice. Common methods of eating are using a
spoon and a fork and using one's hands (known as "kamayan").
RELIGION
Religion Filipino Catholic practice is unusually material and
physical, even among Catholic cultures. Devotions to Mary, the
suffering Christ, and the Santo Niño (Holy Child) are built
especially on powerful celebratory and penitential rituals
practiced and experienced in a variety of vernacular forms.

FIESTAS AND FESTIVALS Each city and barrio has at least one
local festival, usually on the feast of its patron saint - so that
there is always a fiesta going on somewhere in the country. The
most known festival in the philippines is the “sinulog” held in
cebu.
FAMILY
Family is considered to be the foundation of social life for most
Filipinos. The nuclear family is the core family unit, however
bonds are often tight knit among extended family members.

Handicrafts Filipinos are known for their exquisite handicrafts
such as wood carvings, weaving, and pottery. The diversity of
arts and crafts in the Philippines is due not only to its rich cultural
melting pot, but also to the abundance of natural materials
readily available, such as bamboo, rattan, and coconut shells, to
name a few.
LECHON
Lechon is one of the most popular dishes in Filipino food culture.
It brightens every feast of every household, commonly served
during occasions such as birthdays, fiesta, anniversaries,
holidays, and other celebrations.May 26, 2019

HOW CULTURE INFLUENCES US
Our lives are greatly impacted by culture in many different ways.
Our principles, beliefs, and behaviors are shaped by it. It can
have an impact on our choices in food, clothing, language, music,
art, politics, and even religion. Our interactions with others, as
well as our physical and emotional health, can be impacted by
culture. Culture has an impact on how we learn, live, and behave.

PAG-MANO
Pag-mano Lamano or mano is the action of placing the back of
an elder’s hand on your forehead as a sign of respect. Kids were
taught to do this as a way to greet those who were older than
them, which included their grandparents, parents, uncles and
aunts, and even their parent’s friends. These days, we see the
younger generation beso or kiss the cheeks of their elders
instead of pag-mano. However, this practice is still very much
alive in the rural areas.

SINULOG FESTIVAL PLACE OF ORIGIN
The Sinulog Festival serves as a tribute to Santo Niño, the patron
saint of Cebu City. The festival features a grand parade with
participants dressed in colorful costumes, dancing to the beat of
drums and native gongs. People celebrate it on the third Sunday
of January.
HARANA
“Harana, as the song introduces, is an old Philippine tradition of
courtship in which a man bears his heart in song to a woman (and
sometimes vice versa), while standing underneath her window
at night.
CULTURAL DANCE
This practice of jumping between the poles eventually
transformed from a challenge into an artistic dance. Alongside
the Cariñosa dance, the Tinikiling is considered a national dance
in the Philippines and almost every Filipino knows how to do it.
BAYANIHAN
Bayanihan is a core essence of the Filipino culture. It is helping
out one’s neighbor as a community, and doing a task together,
thus lessening the workload and making the job easier. It is also
called the ‘community spirit’.
