backgrounds?

How about these picture? Can you recognize?

Yes, very good. Those are some well-known Filipino

cultures. Using arnis as a weapon and salakot in
farming.

Whenever we see ourselves in front of the mirror, we

can see that our culture and tradition are reflected,
like in the movie Raya and the last dragon. It’s very
overwhelming that our tradition or culture is featured
in the movie.
Every country has different traditions and cultures

culture. Other countries also have related traditions
and cultures but they are unique in some ways
Despite, those differences we need to understand and
respect those differences.

The Lotus Flower is a powerful cultural and spiritual

symbol in Southeast Asian traditions, often
representing purity and enlightenment. This
symbolism stems from the flower’s unique ability to
grow beautifully in muddy waters, signifying the
triumph of purity and strength over adversity.

In many Southeast Asian cultures, the lotus is linked

to spiritual growth and inner peace, especially in
religions like Buddhism and Hinduism. It embodies
the journey toward enlightenment, where one rises
above challenges and impurities to achieve wisdom
and clarity.

Additionally, the lotus is associated with resilience,

as it thrives in difficult conditions. This makes it a
metaphor for human potential to overcome struggles
and emerge stronger and more virtuous.

Whether depicted in literature, art, or ceremonies, the

lotus flower serves as a reminder of the beauty,
strength, and wisdom that can emerge from life's
challenges.
