The 5 Benefits of Having Filipino FRIENDS

in #travel7 years ago

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING FILIPINO FRIENDS?

Maraming benefits of having Filipino in your life,

1. PAGKAIN (FOOD) - Laging Pagkain. Everywhere I go in the Philippines I'm always offered food I never go hungry in Filipino homes. And one funny thing happens when I eat with Filipino friends Lalo na Pizza. You can always be assured that you will have, be guaranteed the last slice of Pizza. Cause for some reason, Filipinos always leave the last slice.

2. PROBABLY THE FILIPINO SENSE OF HUMOR (MASIYAHIN) - Filipino have this sense of always making fun and looking on a lighter side of life and I think us westerners can really a lot from that since sometimes, we're a bit too serious and Filipinos can always make you smile.

3. (BAWAL PANGHUHUSGA)THIS KINDA LINKS TO MY SECOND POINT, FILIPINOS ARE SO ACCEPTING - I guess one concrete example of this karaoke because you know in western culture it's kind of; If you can't sing you're really, really discouraged to sing or to dance but here in the Philippines everyone seems to get that opportunity.

4. I GUESS THE NEXT WILL BE (MALASAKIT) - And this is what I consider the sense of care and compassion of Filipinos, I think the greatest evidence of this is Filipino nurses and Filipino carers, the best in the world of what they do and that's not a coincidence and I think in the Filipino family it's very clear to see where that sense of care and compassion comes from and as a foreigner living here for the last 5 years it certainly makes me feel at home knowing that I have so many people and even sometimes strangers that I have this care and it's very admirable.

5. FOR ME THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE, BUT IT'S THE INSPIRATION I GET FROM MY FILIPINO FRIENDS IN TIMES OF HARDSHIP THIS COMES THROUGH FILIPINOS CALL IT SPIRIT OF (BAYANIHAN, KAPATIRAN AND WALANG IWANAN) - That I think so many foreigners can learn from Filipinos to bounce back in difficult times.

So... They are the 5 things that come to my head but living in this country really makes me a better man and I encourage many more foreigners to choose the Philippines. This really is a great place to live and the number one reason is, Filipino people. So, MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS! MABUHAY ANG MGA PILIPINO!
