Personal Reflections

Her: I see the modern Filipino family like a bamboo. It bends where the wind wants it to bend but snaps back as soon as the wind disappears. Filipinos have this certain characteristic that enables us to adapt easily to changes but not forgetting about the ones we already have. And because of this, I can tell that Filipino families though living in this modern world still have that traditional side. You may think it's something common.

Him: The modern Filipino family, I think, is in a little bit of an identity crisis. Looking for the feeling of solid and common ground to sculpt a figure of the Filipino family is hard. What’s most common are things we cherish for the moment. Traits like tradition are becoming unfamiliar to us. That comes to no surprise as we are a poor country; and more immediate priorities come first. The call of hunger has taken precedence over the establishment of art.
Yet it is because of this lack of solid foundation that the Filipino family is resilient. We take other cultures in and learn other languages easily. Filipinos and their families will face more problems; but because they are loose with the past, they aren’t daunted by the future.
