Pamayanang Pilipino
I see The Philippines' community as a bag of gold with some assorted nickels in it, as you open the bag, you'd see that on the surface level, you'll quickly notice the gold; good qualities of Filipino cultures such as unwavering devotions, strong bond, family-oriented, hospitality, visual arts and so on, but as you dig in your hand on the bag, a glimpse of a silver reflection will catch your attention, that at first it may dismay you or lose enthusiasm because you are hoping for more gold in it, but fret not, and I can tell you this, as the Philippines’ economy is changing, rapidly due to technology; change is constant anyway, hence our culture is evolving and the acceptance of the general mass into the new norms are just in the right place, especially on religion and gender preference, but as those nickels may dismay you, you should also remember that it is possible to have a silver lining in such situations. You see we Filipinos, in general, are somewhat hard to adapt to new things, but recently I can't feel that anymore, as if that they’ve opened their minds and accepted the reality and point of view of one another—respect.
