On this episode of #OnTheDot with Dot and Mia: Navigating Filipino Identity in Western Spaces, we unpack the complex intersections between Filipino cultural identity and Western societal standards. From colonial legacies to contemporary diasporic experiences, we ask: What does it mean to “fit” into Western norms—and should that even be the goal?
Through personal stories, historical context, and cultural critique, we explore how Filipino values— like amor propio, pakikisama, bahala na, hiya, bayanihan, and utang na loob—are interpreted, challenged, or celebrated in Western spaces. We also examine how media, education, and community expectations shape the way Filipino Americans navigate dual cultural landscapes.
Whether you're part of the diaspora or simply curious about cultural hybridity, this episode invites reflection on authenticity, adaptation, and the power of reclaiming our narratives.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right, So Mia chose our topic for today. Does
Filipino culture fit in Western standards?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Does it?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
So?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Let us know? Why did you choose this topic?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Mire and WEEKA, So we talked about Philippine culture, Philippine language,
you know, love your own.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
And does it fit? How do you define Filipino culture?
How do you define culture? What is the definition of culture?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Meta? Because you know, if.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
You know the definition, please let us know. Because I
did not research on that.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I know that.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I know that it involves your Kagayan, your your language,
your food, your way of life, mindset, uh arts, crafts, literature,
et cetera, et cetera, way.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Of life, your way of life? Is that? How it is?
Is it defined? Me?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
AI defines it as a vibrant mix of Indigenous, Asian, Spanish,
and American influences, characterized by strong family bonds, deep seated
religious religious.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Religion is part of.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Beliefs and a unique blend of traditions. Hospitality known as
bay anihan is the cornerstone, with communities readily helping each other,
welcoming guests as family. The culture emphasizes social harmony, maintaining
close relationships, often prioritizing the needs of the family community
(04:15):
over individual desires.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And Filipino culture.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
According to AI Live, that's all animal.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Uh huh so I think my answer to that would
be among are certain aspects that fit better or not.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Everything fit not all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But you have a video of the show. I don't
know if that is ready. If if that.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So that video is that you're already, but it has
something to do with saying no, saying no.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I'd like to the.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Video saying is the Filipino culture is a yes culture. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I was talking to a UP person the other day
and I realized, I said, I said, I'm a yes man.
I've been saying yes a lot you offerings among our suggestions.
But I also realized that I'm very good at saying no.
(05:16):
Mia he he uh.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Trained us to speak our minds. But the same, the
same thing you can say about the UP culture.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know, you can be rebellious, you can be assertive,
and you can say no, how's your upbringing?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No, cassing up the best of Philippines patriar cults. We're
always chained to follow our parents. Yeah, we're always stayed
at school. I brought was brought up in a Catholic school.
Obey your parents, but please your community. So so when
when I went here, I you know, states's to say no,
(06:04):
gussing up. I would always say yes, yes, yes, to
the point now it hurt a lady, And then I
realized you can say no and then it feels better yes,
and then you regret later on. So at the start plan,
if you don't feel like it, you say no. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yeah, So here's a video, that video clip that went
viral a few months ago. But we're gonna play it,
and let's comment on this. If it's ready Instagram, Facebook,
it's a Facebook Facebook shorts generation.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Facebook short.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you're younger than us, you don't do Facebook anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's saying yeahs And let's look at the video.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah yeah, this is.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
A she's a professor from up this lady who's explaining
this the results of a test.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But we don't know if you can play that.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Okay, yeah, so before we play that, I'd like to
read a portion from Speak Up from Why Yes. Doctor
Abby Hamilton was our guest a few years back. Paramatam
decades but a couple of years back, and she said
(07:42):
she conducted a research on four hundred and seventy three
Filipino Americans from thirty five states in the US and
found that the more closely one adhered to Filipino interpersonal norms,
the less assertive they were.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So in other words, but.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Well you know that, you know, the closer we are
to our norms, the less assertive we are.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So us. Yeah, so let's see.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
What the uh And we would like to have your
comments audience, my audience participation takama card reading in Tayo.
You have to say yes to this, okay, then we
would like to hear your opinion if the if your
(08:34):
culture as a Pinoy, do you fit in the western standards?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yessuh?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Sometimes no, sometimes more often than not. Ind because the
reason why I chose. We were supposed to have a
guest that was brought up here and she wasn't raised
as you know, in Philippine traditions. And she was saying,
sometimes if you she doesn't fit in as much as
she wants to learn the culture, she doesn't feel like
(09:05):
she blends in Oka.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It is America, all right, and if you're ready, here
we go. This is sin culture.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Does not always fit Western standards and ideas. I'll give
you an example. A group of students took these exams
in order to make sure that they were clear of
mental health issues. But when these Filipino students took the test,
a high percentage of them are scoring very high on
the psychotics schizophrenia scale, very high. So what did we find?
(09:43):
It turned out that the Filipino students would always answer
the questions as true. I talk to my dead relatives,
I see ghosts, I see spirits.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And then I said, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
They always say true, true, true, true. You'll never say false.
In this culture, if you understand it, everybody almost automatically
says yes yes to everything. They dare not say no
because there is a sun showing for no, and they
think by doing that they.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Are pleasing the tester.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
So yes to everything, the pataka, your grades are down,
your skisophreing it. Can you imagine in psychology the results
for Filipinos. Either you are dumb, you are stupid, you
are crazy. Really, so, when I say Filipino psychology, it
is supposed to be and must be culturally appropriate.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And how do you do this?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Know the culture, and how do you know the culture,
learn the language, and then you will open the doors
to culture at its freshest forward.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Love it, love it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So learn the culture and develop your test instruments. Does
that cover universities in Arica when they make tests for
Filipinos and Asians, other Asians, Japanese, tied Koreans.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I know elementary they're buying ESL English as a second language,
they test for that and then if they feel that
you need to get to go into that program. Because
I know where my kids were tested that because I
brought them up, you know, as as Filipino speaking at
(11:31):
home son sometimes because mentality, no Filipino families they speak
to their kids in English, thinking but the things are
school may rappenzella okay. But us we brought our children
to speak the Galog, so they know the language, so
they know that to speak the bilingual silla. But then
(11:56):
when they got into elementary, they were tested to speak English.
But then they had to go to class also to
polish upon English. But they know how to. But I
think they do that in all different languages.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Because this video that we're showing is psychological testing. Do
you speak to ghosts? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Do you speak to the dead yeah, because that's also
part of our religion. We pray for the dead, we
speak to our dearly departed questions and sometimes. So it
doesn't mean that we're schizophrenic.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Or bobo or or.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
It's just that it's part of our upbringing. It's part
of our daily life. So interesting because he and testing
the the Filipinos in America that I'm not I'm not
a teacher here, but I was a teacher Pilippines. Uh,
(13:13):
you really have to take into consideration on environment non
test taker, and you have to frame the language in
such a way as they understand the implications. No, no answer,
snila if they did that, because it's a you know,
how Koreans would how Koreans invaded the Philippines before learning English.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yeah, And we had to fashion our test instruments, the
rule breaks of our tests so that they could get
the essence.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What is it that we're testing?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Are we testing verbs or nouns or comprehension or writing
or speaking whatever, But we're not testing the content of
the of the of the statement, for example, in departing
examples of Koreans and Philippino and context.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So it has to be mana neutral.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Manaa topics that we're testing for language, but with this
one its on example, not in. Yeah, the Filipino culture.
According also to doctor Abi Hamilton, the closer we are
to being Pinoise, the further we are from being in
(14:34):
the culture. So how do you how do you merge them?
It call mea how do you how do you encourage
your children to be more assertive American cultures, American standards.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I never really had to encourage them fit blended. They
were born here, Yeah, they were born here. I introduced
them to Philippine culture. Your new young roal care was
to introduce them to Philippine culture. I like my eldest
I brought her into Filippini and a dance company.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
So apparently the American culture is their first culture. That
was Filipino is their foreign second.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
At the same time, instillcha caanila, then they're Filippinos because
you know, I we speak the Gallag at home, and
then they read books in the Gallo. We have TFC
that's good. Yeah, and they watch Filipino movies. They listen
to Filipino jokes. La comnan yeah, be causin. I wanted
(15:46):
them to be not be immersed into the culture.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Well, I only have one UH son here who is
learning the Filipino culture by going around with.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
His Filipino friends.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
And it's learning the Galog from them, not from me,
because our first language at home is Elongo. So I
so mommy, he would he would say, Mommy, how do
I say.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay? So he would attend okay.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And it's easier Also if if both of you are
of the same language, like the Filipino Filipino and America
like how you are. But but it's easier to teach
the language. That's true, you speak it, it's easier to
learn it if you speak it at home.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Right, And language is just one component of our culture.
My religion, like you said, a.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Religious are religious?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Religious believes.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Music, art, bananaw, cultural norms. So I want to share
if if there are no is there any opinion on
the web or on Facebook wherever we are, If you
have any opinion, please let us know because we would
like to hear you. So this book Amiya Caring starts
(17:22):
with me a Calmuna. It is a culturally sensitive self
care program for immigrant Filipino nurses developed by uh Lisa,
Lisa Domboa, Elizabeth Damboa and yours truly SAMs do. So
(17:43):
we singled out a few Filipino norms.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
A more propero, A more proprio.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Okay, it's a more prop if it's.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Self esteem and also social acceptance.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
So what's the more propriatement.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
A I am more appropriate, you, Lisa, is a self
esteem or senself.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
My examples don't book. I don't need help, I don't
have a problem. Oh this is nothing. It's not a
big deal. I don't need anyone's helping. Pride, I can.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Handle my own propri in a way it it is
also in line with what we're saying in detail. You assertive.
We don't say yeah, yeah I need help, Yeah I.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Have a problem.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm propriate.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I don't be a challenges more because of your pride,
I can handle it on my own. On the healthy level,
it may show up as self respect, integrity, and pride.
The unhealthy level, I'm unhealthy and unhealthy, it may show
up as rigidity, lack of humility, reluctance to admit mistakes.
(19:09):
So how does that fit in Western standards? Western American?
Does that show up for you mire more appropriate?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, because if you say I don't need help, you
said you don't need healthy. They won't help you. Yeah,
it's as simple as that.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Sabini, there's a there's a there's an essay here.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm not going to read this essay. Let me say
your art around, Bulu Silver it is to misframe the
question entirely. It presumes that Western paradigms are the default
measure of value, coherence, and legitimacy, an assumption that has
long distorted the Filipino psyche. Begin with the very architecture
(20:01):
of our educate educational system. But mister Elisa, our question
is related to our being here in America. But AKSA
Pilipinas edition pretty deep.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We should not frame the the question kumasa Pilipinas die. Yeah,
but I'm going to read that in a little bit.
I like what you said. Our educational system is framed
so American standards, and that's true. That's where we got
(20:34):
our educational standard. Filipino culture does not need to fit
Western standards. It needs to be restored to its rightful
place as a culture of revolutionaries, philosophers, artists, and sovereign thinkers.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Love that.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yes, we must, we must build an education system not
modeled after a simulationist frameworks. But after the spirit of
our own revolutionary legacy resulted that seek to form to empire.
He challenged it with grace, wit and position.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yes, thank you for your views.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Thank you for that. I think if the video that
we posted was uh based on tests in the Philippines,
I think, but you should not frame it Western culture.
(21:32):
But America, that is the that is an issue. We
are the ones, we are the we are the immigrants,
so we need to assimilate. Thank you very much. Let's
say you for your input. Mister say you are a
(21:52):
rambulu silva. Thank you for that. All right, so I'm
more proprial. The next one is the bahalaa.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Batman.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Can you read it from your from your phone here?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Bahlana is come what me.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Superman?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay, So more examples of.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
When something comes up and you give me a unfavorably Yeah,
m hm you let fait mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Whatever, whatever, It's okay. If this is meant to be,
maybe it is faith, the fatalism.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I just have to deal with it. It almost though.
This is this one is sad. Just suck it up.
This is better. This is better than my previous situation
in Bahlana. So on the healthy level, it may show
up a surrender, Yeah, okay, Balana se Batman, trusted the unknown, risk,
(23:00):
taking faith in higher power or God, God's will. At
the unhealthy level, it may show up as lack of accountability, fatalism,
and recklessness.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
How does it show up? America?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
But if I heard that a lot? But it's God's will,
it's meant to be, MTV.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Let be letter, b letter, MTV TV letter be let
it be.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I haven't been in a workplace here America. So you
do you have American clients?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh? Yeah? And does that show up?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
And nothing at all? And usually that uhlan timeline.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, but if you applied that wording, yeah, you know
to them? How does that?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I think if it's if it, if it, it's meant
to be, then it will happen.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think, yeah, alrighty. The next one is I like
this by any hand. We are heroes for each other
sample amad animal statements.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I need to help others. I have been given an assignment,
so I have to make sure things are done. I
can't fail anyone. Things will be better when we accomplish
the task. I made a commitment. I think you buy
any hand refers to also that's true, and I think
(24:53):
this is very good for us if we apply this
American culture. Yeah, I think I've heard Americans giving feedback teamwork,
especially it's a nurses.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
At the healthy level, this may show up as cooperation, teamwork,
and supportiveness. At the unhealthy level may show up as
group think, bandwagon effect, mind following you yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna help, even if it's against the principle. True.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
And this is where the earlier text on assertiveness would
be applicable. If you don't like what you're being asked
to do, learn to say no no by any hand.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You know it's a team work.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Are you going against a certain movement person? And then
you're being asked to join and you really don't want to?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Right? What am I? Gonn alone? Is the colonial mentality?
Last jam on? Uh? The internalized oppression?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I see, I don't see Lisa, she she made, she made,
she clarified this, uh, this kind of Filipino norm when
she wrote that internalized oppression. I need to be more American. Okay,
so now we're here, how do we Is this good?
(26:33):
Is this applicable? I need to be more American. I
need to get rid of my take accent. They will
fire me if I speak up, I am not worthy.
They will never measure up. Westerners are superior. So we
hear a lot of Filipinos with very American accent, a
(26:54):
Filipinos malacastin and Filipino accent Sunday And how does that?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
How do you speak English? Someone?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I speak like normal English. But sometimes the way we
were taught English because British, so I by young young
you have on the second syllables there are sometimes they
don't understand.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
The cold, okay something it's some listener, nothing colonde.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know, I can I'm not social and conya in
the divis sometimes but not so. Indeed, like when I
was New Year, I was looking for cotton. Where's the
cotton on the cotton? Cotton cotton, explaining cotton? Give us
(28:15):
a Philippines and bula pinapool, Yes, explained.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That source.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Another my mama medical words Lisa that she she shared
with us. So you know, when it comes to accent
and pronunciation and where is the emphasis, you know? So
that's when we were back to Philippinis in colonial mentality
(28:50):
showed up us made in the U s A American
music is better, Uh, fashion books, art, and all that
when we thought that, uh, the Western Western stuff was
(29:10):
way better than our stuff. So we imvibed that, yeahza
apple hiking, American jungle it out of.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
You tend to appreciate what you don't have. But you
know what what changed when I went here in the US.
So the very few years that I was here, you know,
you hear them. You get intimidated. Sometimes you get intimidated
to speak English to thinking, you know, your English is
(29:46):
not good enough. So I went when I went into
the corporate world, here's a U S A L E.
So your mob bosses covered speaking very fast English and
Tata English. But then when they wrote and it wasn't
in the correct spelling, certain building confidence.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
We may not be very good speakers when it comes
to accent and pronunciation, but because our English is book English,
teachers called the olds you pere your English is very
book English, bookish, textbook, textbook English.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's not you know, we were not born into it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Right, And and that's what I realized to they speak
fluent English and very fast English because that's their first
language exactly. And then I realized, you know, you just
have to be comfortable with how you speak and they
understand the second language Man spoken English to.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Understand out in now that we're here, we don't need
to uh really try so hard to be because you
know nothing, it's not uh structured to be really and nasil.
(31:16):
You know, the Cans, they really have very thin noses
of bridge nila, so they tend to be to sound
more naisal. You observe your manga very human born here
and their noses are pinched like that, they're thin the back,
so they tend to be more nay.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
So my.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Time point sound because you know, but the idea that
you know, at the unhealthy levels on colonial mentality may
show up inferiority complex complex.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Ancient hate, racism, and national shape and that's sad, you know.
And also the color of our skin, you know, so
where do we fit in. It's a good thing we're
fitting in when it comes to skin color nowadays, because
there's an awareness against Asian heat, people tend to be
(32:20):
more open, at least in my circle, they tend to
be more open. So existence brown skinned human beings around
at the healthy level and colonial mentality.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Colonial mentality level uh may show a healthy level, but
may show up as respect for adopted homeland openness to
new culture, visionalism, congregating according to provisional.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Route provincial roots.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
A provincial so healthy sha if we.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
If we gather together toples, we celebrate our identity in

the little details that sama Westerners.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
What do you care where I'm going?
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yes, there's a mutual trust among us. Among us.
Speaker 4 (41:33):
Healthy level may show up as treating people like their
own respect, being amenable and accommodating oneness, diversity and inclusivity
at the unhealthy level may show up as a disregard
for privacy, lack of a sense of boundary and personal space.
That one, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Or sometimes but I would think so Western you come
and announced.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Yes, yes from the Yeah you.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Know you come uninvited parties? Oh yes, yeah, I have
to r s BP if you're come in with a
plus one or plus ten.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
That's the kind of norm that I would not love
to insert or offer some Western standards.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
Co it by yeah, okay, next one me you yeah, yeah, shame, propriety,
dignity mhmm, and then one statements it's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I don't want anyone to know people are staring at me.
I'll be the top of the town. It's hard to
face other people. Don't dishonor our family. I'll carry this
to my grave.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
The different ways that they show up so unhealthy, healthy
and unhealthy levels mia.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
It may show up as a sense of propriety, dignity, discretion,
and humility mm hmm. Unhealthy, and may show up as shame, powerlessness,
and humiliation. So it does a place, Yeah, it does
a place.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Now, yeah depends it depends.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Here like shy m h.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Powerlessness, but then or yeah Michelle.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
For wordy extreme scog and I hate, I hate. I
(44:21):
don't like that. Nina Scuogan new initial enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I don't like that either.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
So so examples would be I'm very excited to start
this project, start lang. My new Year's a solution this
year is just give me time I can finish this project.
And a heartbeat I need to take a little break
from this. Don't worry, it will get done soon. I
will do it later. Let's not hurry, there's still time.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, I really don't like the Nina schoogo into.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
A lot of spelling for that is co and cogon.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
It's a it's a grass, it's a tall grass on.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Your healthy level, ninas cogonia.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
So it may show up as enthusiasm and initiative, encouragement,
honoring boundaries and limitations to mitigate chases and pressure.
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Oh you know what, there are there are times when
we need to just abandon something if we started it
now now, you know, Hindi maganda, So let's take accountability
and let's abandon it. Indeed, this is not gonna work
work because you can pair it with here.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Some people don't finish because I mean, some people pursue it.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
To say no, it's a healthy level, man, unhealthy level.
Unhealthy may show up as involvement in too many things,
volunteering to spearhead but not delivering to completion, fleeting enthusiasm,
lack of perseverance or sustain interest, or procrastination. Oh yeah,
(46:17):
you know, I don't want yet you finish what you start.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
Right, and at some point you need to assert to
assess are we doing the right thing? Shall we move
on or not? Important organization America.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, but I don't think you don't just you don't
just abandon Yeah, yeah, no, I don't think that would
work out.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
Keep a kappa or togetherness and community and pakikisa fellowship.
I don't need to belong there, do need to ruffle
anyone's feather. I can't be alienated. I need to be
a team player. I guess I have to take one
for the team healthy level of togetherness, community, fellowship, companionship.
(47:15):
Unhealthy is the inability to set boundaries or to say
no inauthentic yes, a false sense of obligation. I a
false sense of of obligation dangerous.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
If peer pressure our young Filipino.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
Peers, Yeah, if they invite they are invited to take
drugs for example, or.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Drinking spreez or whatever malamai A in all cultures, then
the bounder pressure, not just Filippinis.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
So we have to be mindful of what we want
to say yes to or no to. Yes, it will last.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
According to my American husband, he would read this double
uh come can you read.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
That it's indebtedness or death of gratitude. I owe him
or her a favor. It's hard to repay their kindness.
I will forever be indebted to him or her. I
am forever grateful and will do anything for this person.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
And the healthy level.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
Healthy level, it may show up as gratefulness, being appreciative
of assistance received. On the unhealthy level may show up
as disempowerment, resentment, or lifelong indebtedness gravil flow.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Of course, you can say, yeah, oh, that's when it
becomes bad. Nineteen six sixty two, favor one hundred persons.
Anything the other person asks you to do, you have
to do one hundred persons in nineteen sixty two. That's
(49:22):
that's too long, life flowing.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
Yeah, you know, yeah, that's the unhealthy part.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
I know your gratitude.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
I'm forever grateful and sponsors as in an exponsor America.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
Akay, I don't think you could ever repay that, but
you just be grateful. You just say thank you. And
you know, I don't think paga your great well And
(50:00):
when I think if you do something good, you don't
need to be repeated, and I would like, oh, I
love that yess, yes, yes, return the favor, be grateful
and then I don't know.
Speaker 4 (50:15):
I mean if you if you're doing that, you're the
one extending the favor. And other than that, some cultural
norms not in We have religious practices that may influence attitudes,
practices or decision making, like our religious holidays and rituals
attending my service because we were the Filipino is a
(50:42):
majority is Catholic. Healthy level show up as hope, compassion, faith,
positivism during adversities or challenges. At the unhealthy level may
show up as rigidity over practices, religiosity, being judgmental of
people not sharing the beliefs, bigotry and arrogance or what
(51:03):
what diamond so I would say naha level pack healthy
and Filipino norm okay in some Americans packing the healthy.
Speaker 3 (51:18):
I think that the younger generation can see the good
and bad of the culture also and they tend to
not absorb the bad.
Speaker 4 (51:29):
Also, yeah, my Mansilla, they have filters. I like that
they can decide for themselves, recording, putting, putting Indian. There
are many other things. I think there are a few
more things better. They're not included in our in our
(51:51):
manual for it is at the end are our practices
for self care, caring for the mind, caring for the emotions,
and caring for the body. We would like to actually
develop another one that's uh for paran generic, not necessarily
(52:14):
just for nurses, but for Filipinos in general. How do
we care for ourselves while.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
We are living in in this country?
Speaker 3 (52:23):
That's very good?
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Thank you quote, tie you quote, I have.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
A call from my favorite writer ts Eliot. Okay, a
national culture, if it is to flourish, should be a
constellation of cultures that the constitution, the constitutes of that
constitutes of which benefiting each other, benefits the whole.
Speaker 2 (52:50):

Thank you to Quiryo for being very patient with us

Speaker 3 (02:16):
With all our kirks.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
All right, So Mia chose our topic for today. Does
Filipino culture fit in Western standards?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Does it?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
So?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Let us know? Why did you choose this topic?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Mire and WEEKA, So we talked about Philippine culture, Philippine language,
you know, love your own.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
And does it fit? How do you define Filipino culture?
How do you define culture? What is the definition of culture?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Meta? Because you know, if.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
You know the definition, please let us know. Because I
did not research on that.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I know that.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I know that it involves your Kagayan, your your language,
your food, your way of life, mindset, uh arts, crafts, literature,
et cetera, et cetera, way.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Of life, your way of life? Is that? How it is?
Is it defined? Me?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
AI defines it as a vibrant mix of Indigenous, Asian, Spanish,
and American influences, characterized by strong family bonds, deep seated
religious religious.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Religion is part of.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Beliefs and a unique blend of traditions. Hospitality known as
bay anihan is the cornerstone, with communities readily helping each other,
welcoming guests as family. The culture emphasizes social harmony, maintaining
close relationships, often prioritizing the needs of the family community
(04:15):
over individual desires.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And Filipino culture.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
According to AI Live, that's all animal.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Uh huh so I think my answer to that would
be among are certain aspects that fit better or not.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Everything fit not all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But you have a video of the show. I don't
know if that is ready. If if that.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So that video is that you're already, but it has
something to do with saying no, saying no.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I'd like to the.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Video saying is the Filipino culture is a yes culture. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I was talking to a UP person the other day
and I realized, I said, I said, I'm a yes man.
I've been saying yes a lot you offerings among our suggestions.
But I also realized that I'm very good at saying no.
(05:16):
Mia he he uh.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Trained us to speak our minds. But the same, the
same thing you can say about the UP culture.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know, you can be rebellious, you can be assertive,
and you can say no, how's your upbringing?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
No, cassing up the best of Philippines patriar cults. We're
always chained to follow our parents. Yeah, we're always stayed
at school. I brought was brought up in a Catholic school.
Obey your parents, but please your community. So so when
when I went here, I you know, states's to say no,
(06:04):
gussing up. I would always say yes, yes, yes, to
the point now it hurt a lady, And then I
realized you can say no and then it feels better yes,
and then you regret later on. So at the start plan,
if you don't feel like it, you say no. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yeah, So here's a video, that video clip that went
viral a few months ago. But we're gonna play it,
and let's comment on this. If it's ready Instagram, Facebook,
it's a Facebook Facebook shorts generation.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Facebook short.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you're younger than us, you don't do Facebook anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's saying yeahs And let's look at the video.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah yeah, this is.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
A she's a professor from up this lady who's explaining
this the results of a test.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But we don't know if you can play that.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Okay, yeah, so before we play that, I'd like to
read a portion from Speak Up from Why Yes. Doctor
Abby Hamilton was our guest a few years back. Paramatam
decades but a couple of years back, and she said
(07:42):
she conducted a research on four hundred and seventy three
Filipino Americans from thirty five states in the US and
found that the more closely one adhered to Filipino interpersonal norms,
the less assertive they were.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So in other words, but.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Well you know that, you know, the closer we are
to our norms, the less assertive we are.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So us. Yeah, so let's see.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
What the uh And we would like to have your
comments audience, my audience participation takama card reading in Tayo.
You have to say yes to this, okay, then we
would like to hear your opinion if the if your
(08:34):
culture as a Pinoy, do you fit in the western standards?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yessuh?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Sometimes no, sometimes more often than not. Ind because the
reason why I chose. We were supposed to have a
guest that was brought up here and she wasn't raised
as you know, in Philippine traditions. And she was saying,
sometimes if you she doesn't fit in as much as
she wants to learn the culture, she doesn't feel like
(09:05):
she blends in Oka.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It is America, all right, and if you're ready, here
we go. This is sin culture.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Does not always fit Western standards and ideas. I'll give
you an example. A group of students took these exams
in order to make sure that they were clear of
mental health issues. But when these Filipino students took the test,
a high percentage of them are scoring very high on
the psychotics schizophrenia scale, very high. So what did we find?
(09:43):
It turned out that the Filipino students would always answer
the questions as true. I talk to my dead relatives,
I see ghosts, I see spirits.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And then I said, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
They always say true, true, true, true. You'll never say false.
In this culture, if you understand it, everybody almost automatically
says yes yes to everything. They dare not say no
because there is a sun showing for no, and they
think by doing that they.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Are pleasing the tester.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
So yes to everything, the pataka, your grades are down,
your skisophreing it. Can you imagine in psychology the results
for Filipinos. Either you are dumb, you are stupid, you
are crazy. Really, so, when I say Filipino psychology, it
is supposed to be and must be culturally appropriate.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And how do you do this?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Know the culture, and how do you know the culture,
learn the language, and then you will open the doors
to culture at its freshest forward.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Love it, love it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So learn the culture and develop your test instruments. Does
that cover universities in Arica when they make tests for
Filipinos and Asians, other Asians, Japanese, tied Koreans.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I know elementary they're buying ESL English as a second language,
they test for that and then if they feel that
you need to get to go into that program. Because
I know where my kids were tested that because I
brought them up, you know, as as Filipino speaking at
(11:31):
home son sometimes because mentality, no Filipino families they speak
to their kids in English, thinking but the things are
school may rappenzella okay. But us we brought our children
to speak the Galog, so they know the language, so
they know that to speak the bilingual silla. But then
(11:56):
when they got into elementary, they were tested to speak English.
But then they had to go to class also to
polish upon English. But they know how to. But I
think they do that in all different languages.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Because this video that we're showing is psychological testing. Do
you speak to ghosts? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Do you speak to the dead yeah, because that's also
part of our religion. We pray for the dead, we
speak to our dearly departed questions and sometimes. So it
doesn't mean that we're schizophrenic.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Or bobo or or.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
It's just that it's part of our upbringing. It's part
of our daily life. So interesting because he and testing
the the Filipinos in America that I'm not I'm not
a teacher here, but I was a teacher Pilippines. Uh,
(13:13):
you really have to take into consideration on environment non
test taker, and you have to frame the language in
such a way as they understand the implications. No, no answer,
snila if they did that, because it's a you know,
how Koreans would how Koreans invaded the Philippines before learning English.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Yeah, And we had to fashion our test instruments, the
rule breaks of our tests so that they could get
the essence.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What is it that we're testing?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Are we testing verbs or nouns or comprehension or writing
or speaking whatever, But we're not testing the content of
the of the of the statement, for example, in departing
examples of Koreans and Philippino and context.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So it has to be mana neutral.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Manaa topics that we're testing for language, but with this
one its on example, not in. Yeah, the Filipino culture.
According also to doctor Abi Hamilton, the closer we are
to being Pinoise, the further we are from being in
(14:34):
the culture. So how do you how do you merge them?
It call mea how do you how do you encourage
your children to be more assertive American cultures, American standards.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I never really had to encourage them fit blended. They
were born here, Yeah, they were born here. I introduced
them to Philippine culture. Your new young roal care was
to introduce them to Philippine culture. I like my eldest
I brought her into Filippini and a dance company.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
So apparently the American culture is their first culture. That
was Filipino is their foreign second.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
At the same time, instillcha caanila, then they're Filippinos because
you know, I we speak the Gallag at home, and
then they read books in the Gallo. We have TFC
that's good. Yeah, and they watch Filipino movies. They listen
to Filipino jokes. La comnan yeah, be causin. I wanted
(15:46):
them to be not be immersed into the culture.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Well, I only have one UH son here who is
learning the Filipino culture by going around with.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
His Filipino friends.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
And it's learning the Galog from them, not from me,
because our first language at home is Elongo. So I
so mommy, he would he would say, Mommy, how do
I say.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay? So he would attend okay.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And it's easier Also if if both of you are
of the same language, like the Filipino Filipino and America
like how you are. But but it's easier to teach
the language. That's true, you speak it, it's easier to
learn it if you speak it at home.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Right, And language is just one component of our culture.
My religion, like you said, a.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Religious are religious?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Religious believes.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Music, art, bananaw, cultural norms. So I want to share
if if there are no is there any opinion on
the web or on Facebook wherever we are, If you
have any opinion, please let us know because we would
like to hear you. So this book Amiya Caring starts
(17:22):
with me a Calmuna. It is a culturally sensitive self
care program for immigrant Filipino nurses developed by uh Lisa,
Lisa Domboa, Elizabeth Damboa and yours truly SAMs do. So
(17:43):
we singled out a few Filipino norms.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
A more propero, A more proprio.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Okay, it's a more prop if it's.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Self esteem and also social acceptance.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
So what's the more propriatement.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
A I am more appropriate, you, Lisa, is a self
esteem or senself.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
My examples don't book. I don't need help, I don't
have a problem. Oh this is nothing. It's not a
big deal. I don't need anyone's helping. Pride, I can.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Handle my own propri in a way it it is
also in line with what we're saying in detail. You assertive.
We don't say yeah, yeah I need help, Yeah I.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Have a problem.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm propriate.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I don't be a challenges more because of your pride,
I can handle it on my own. On the healthy level,
it may show up as self respect, integrity, and pride.
The unhealthy level, I'm unhealthy and unhealthy, it may show
up as rigidity, lack of humility, reluctance to admit mistakes.
(19:09):
So how does that fit in Western standards? Western American?
Does that show up for you mire more appropriate?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, because if you say I don't need help, you
said you don't need healthy. They won't help you. Yeah,
it's as simple as that.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Sabini, there's a there's a there's an essay here.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm not going to read this essay. Let me say
your art around, Bulu Silver it is to misframe the
question entirely. It presumes that Western paradigms are the default
measure of value, coherence, and legitimacy, an assumption that has
long distorted the Filipino psyche. Begin with the very architecture
(20:01):
of our educate educational system. But mister Elisa, our question
is related to our being here in America. But AKSA
Pilipinas edition pretty deep.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We should not frame the the question kumasa Pilipinas die. Yeah,
but I'm going to read that in a little bit.
I like what you said. Our educational system is framed
so American standards, and that's true. That's where we got
(20:34):
our educational standard. Filipino culture does not need to fit
Western standards. It needs to be restored to its rightful
place as a culture of revolutionaries, philosophers, artists, and sovereign thinkers.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Love that.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yes, we must, we must build an education system not
modeled after a simulationist frameworks. But after the spirit of
our own revolutionary legacy resulted that seek to form to empire.
He challenged it with grace, wit and position.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yes, thank you for your views.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Thank you for that. I think if the video that
we posted was uh based on tests in the Philippines,
I think, but you should not frame it Western culture.
(21:32):
But America, that is the that is an issue. We
are the ones, we are the we are the immigrants,
so we need to assimilate. Thank you very much. Let's
say you for your input. Mister say you are a
(21:52):
rambulu silva. Thank you for that. All right, so I'm
more proprial. The next one is the bahalaa.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Batman.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Can you read it from your from your phone here?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Bahlana is come what me.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Superman?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay, So more examples of.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
When something comes up and you give me a unfavorably Yeah,
m hm you let fait mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Whatever, whatever, It's okay. If this is meant to be,
maybe it is faith, the fatalism.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I just have to deal with it. It almost though.
This is this one is sad. Just suck it up.
This is better. This is better than my previous situation
in Bahlana. So on the healthy level, it may show
up a surrender, Yeah, okay, Balana se Batman, trusted the unknown, risk,
(23:00):
taking faith in higher power or God, God's will. At
the unhealthy level, it may show up as lack of accountability, fatalism,
and recklessness.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
How does it show up? America?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
But if I heard that a lot? But it's God's will,
it's meant to be, MTV.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Let be letter, b letter, MTV TV letter be let
it be.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I haven't been in a workplace here America. So you
do you have American clients?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh? Yeah? And does that show up?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
And nothing at all? And usually that uhlan timeline.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, but if you applied that wording, yeah, you know
to them? How does that?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I think if it's if it, if it, it's meant
to be, then it will happen.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think, yeah, alrighty. The next one is I like
this by any hand. We are heroes for each other
sample amad animal statements.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I need to help others. I have been given an assignment,
so I have to make sure things are done. I
can't fail anyone. Things will be better when we accomplish
the task. I made a commitment. I think you buy
any hand refers to also that's true, and I think
(24:53):
this is very good for us if we apply this
American culture. Yeah, I think I've heard Americans giving feedback teamwork,
especially it's a nurses.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
At the healthy level, this may show up as cooperation, teamwork,
and supportiveness. At the unhealthy level may show up as
group think, bandwagon effect, mind following you yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna help, even if it's against the principle. True.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
And this is where the earlier text on assertiveness would
be applicable. If you don't like what you're being asked
to do, learn to say no no by any hand.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You know it's a team work.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Are you going against a certain movement person? And then
you're being asked to join and you really don't want to?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Right? What am I? Gonn alone? Is the colonial mentality?
Last jam on? Uh? The internalized oppression?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I see, I don't see Lisa, she she made, she made,
she clarified this, uh, this kind of Filipino norm when
she wrote that internalized oppression. I need to be more American. Okay,
so now we're here, how do we Is this good?
(26:33):
Is this applicable? I need to be more American. I
need to get rid of my take accent. They will
fire me if I speak up, I am not worthy.
They will never measure up. Westerners are superior. So we
hear a lot of Filipinos with very American accent, a
(26:54):
Filipinos malacastin and Filipino accent Sunday And how does that?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
How do you speak English? Someone?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I speak like normal English. But sometimes the way we
were taught English because British, so I by young young
you have on the second syllables there are sometimes they
don't understand.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
The cold, okay something it's some listener, nothing colonde.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know, I can I'm not social and conya in
the divis sometimes but not so. Indeed, like when I
was New Year, I was looking for cotton. Where's the
cotton on the cotton? Cotton cotton, explaining cotton? Give us
(28:15):
a Philippines and bula pinapool, Yes, explained.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That source.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Another my mama medical words Lisa that she she shared
with us. So you know, when it comes to accent
and pronunciation and where is the emphasis, you know? So
that's when we were back to Philippinis in colonial mentality
(28:50):
showed up us made in the U s A American
music is better, Uh, fashion books, art, and all that
when we thought that, uh, the Western Western stuff was
(29:10):
way better than our stuff. So we imvibed that, yeahza
apple hiking, American jungle it out of.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
You tend to appreciate what you don't have. But you
know what what changed when I went here in the US.
So the very few years that I was here, you know,
you hear them. You get intimidated. Sometimes you get intimidated
to speak English to thinking, you know, your English is
(29:46):
not good enough. So I went when I went into
the corporate world, here's a U S A L E.
So your mob bosses covered speaking very fast English and
Tata English. But then when they wrote and it wasn't
in the correct spelling, certain building confidence.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
We may not be very good speakers when it comes
to accent and pronunciation, but because our English is book English,
teachers called the olds you pere your English is very
book English, bookish, textbook, textbook English.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's not you know, we were not born into it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Right, And and that's what I realized to they speak
fluent English and very fast English because that's their first
language exactly. And then I realized, you know, you just
have to be comfortable with how you speak and they
understand the second language Man spoken English to.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Understand out in now that we're here, we don't need
to uh really try so hard to be because you
know nothing, it's not uh structured to be really and nasil.
(31:16):
You know, the Cans, they really have very thin noses
of bridge nila, so they tend to be to sound
more naisal. You observe your manga very human born here
and their noses are pinched like that, they're thin the back,
so they tend to be more nay.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
So my.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Time point sound because you know, but the idea that
you know, at the unhealthy levels on colonial mentality may
show up inferiority complex complex.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Ancient hate, racism, and national shape and that's sad, you know.
And also the color of our skin, you know, so
where do we fit in. It's a good thing we're
fitting in when it comes to skin color nowadays, because
there's an awareness against Asian heat, people tend to be
(32:20):
more open, at least in my circle, they tend to
be more open. So existence brown skinned human beings around
at the healthy level and colonial mentality.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Colonial mentality level uh may show a healthy level, but
may show up as respect for adopted homeland openness to
new culture, visionalism, congregating according to provisional.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Route provincial roots.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
A provincial so healthy sha if we.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
If we gather together toples, we celebrate our identity in
Ma malailka, no association, Elong association, Kama association.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
You know, even Philippines. Then there's there's also you know
you joke about it, regent the buy desire, I get
it you accent then, which shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Okay long yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I think the more open the world is, especially with
travel and internet and access to information, the wider we
see that we are diverse and it's okay.
Speaker 2 (33:43):

in a foreign Land that we need to assimilate.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
So very nice. Yeah, moving on? Do we do? We

like when we talk to each other sometimes with some couple.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Where you going Garland?
Speaker 4 (41:15):
You know, it's like, you know, we're very intimate with
the little details that sama Westerners.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
What do you care where I'm going?
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yes, there's a mutual trust among us. Among us.
Speaker 4 (41:33):
Healthy level may show up as treating people like their
own respect, being amenable and accommodating oneness, diversity and inclusivity
at the unhealthy level may show up as a disregard
for privacy, lack of a sense of boundary and personal space.
That one, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Or sometimes but I would think so Western you come
and announced.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Yes, yes from the Yeah you.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Know you come uninvited parties? Oh yes, yeah, I have
to r s BP if you're come in with a
plus one or plus ten.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
That's the kind of norm that I would not love
to insert or offer some Western standards.
Speaker 6 (42:44):
Co it by yeah, okay, next one me you yeah, yeah, shame, propriety,
dignity mhmm, and then one statements it's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I don't want anyone to know people are staring at me.
I'll be the top of the town. It's hard to
face other people. Don't dishonor our family. I'll carry this
to my grave.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
The different ways that they show up so unhealthy, healthy
and unhealthy levels mia.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
It may show up as a sense of propriety, dignity, discretion,
and humility mm hmm. Unhealthy, and may show up as shame, powerlessness,
and humiliation. So it does a place, Yeah, it does
a place.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Now, yeah depends it depends.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Here like shy m h.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Powerlessness, but then or yeah Michelle.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
For wordy extreme scog and I hate, I hate. I
(44:21):
don't like that. Nina Scuogan new initial enthusiasm.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I don't like that either.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
So so examples would be I'm very excited to start
this project, start lang. My new Year's a solution this
year is just give me time I can finish this project.
And a heartbeat I need to take a little break
from this. Don't worry, it will get done soon. I
will do it later. Let's not hurry, there's still time.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, I really don't like the Nina schoogo into.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
A lot of spelling for that is co and cogon.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
It's a it's a grass, it's a tall grass on.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Your healthy level, ninas cogonia.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
So it may show up as enthusiasm and initiative, encouragement,
honoring boundaries and limitations to mitigate chases and pressure.
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Oh you know what, there are there are times when
we need to just abandon something if we started it
now now, you know, Hindi maganda, So let's take accountability
and let's abandon it. Indeed, this is not gonna work
work because you can pair it with here.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Some people don't finish because I mean, some people pursue it.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
To say no, it's a healthy level, man, unhealthy level.
Unhealthy may show up as involvement in too many things,
volunteering to spearhead but not delivering to completion, fleeting enthusiasm,
lack of perseverance or sustain interest, or procrastination. Oh yeah,
(46:17):
you know, I don't want yet you finish what you start.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
Right, and at some point you need to assert to
assess are we doing the right thing? Shall we move
on or not? Important organization America.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, but I don't think you don't just you don't
just abandon Yeah, yeah, no, I don't think that would
work out.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
Keep a kappa or togetherness and community and pakikisa fellowship.
I don't need to belong there, do need to ruffle
anyone's feather. I can't be alienated. I need to be
a team player. I guess I have to take one
for the team healthy level of togetherness, community, fellowship, companionship.
(47:15):
Unhealthy is the inability to set boundaries or to say
no inauthentic yes, a false sense of obligation. I a
false sense of of obligation dangerous.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
If peer pressure our young Filipino.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
Peers, Yeah, if they invite they are invited to take
drugs for example, or.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Drinking spreez or whatever malamai A in all cultures, then
the bounder pressure, not just Filippinis.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
So we have to be mindful of what we want
to say yes to or no to. Yes, it will last.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
According to my American husband, he would read this double
uh come can you read.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
That it's indebtedness or death of gratitude. I owe him
or her a favor. It's hard to repay their kindness.
I will forever be indebted to him or her. I
am forever grateful and will do anything for this person.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
And the healthy level.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
Healthy level, it may show up as gratefulness, being appreciative
of assistance received. On the unhealthy level may show up
as disempowerment, resentment, or lifelong indebtedness gravil flow.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Of course, you can say, yeah, oh, that's when it
becomes bad. Nineteen six sixty two, favor one hundred persons.
Anything the other person asks you to do, you have
to do one hundred persons in nineteen sixty two. That's
(49:22):
that's too long, life flowing.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
Yeah, you know, yeah, that's the unhealthy part.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
I know your gratitude.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
I'm forever grateful and sponsors as in an exponsor America.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
Akay, I don't think you could ever repay that, but
you just be grateful. You just say thank you. And
you know, I don't think paga your great well And
(50:00):
when I think if you do something good, you don't
need to be repeated, and I would like, oh, I
love that yess, yes, yes, return the favor, be grateful
