Of course Philippines is so cool. Take it from me, I am a full blooded Filipino. We really have different customs, cultures and traditions at hand. Every region speaks of their own native language, isn't that great? We have several native laguanges here in the Philippines as well as numerous tourist spots too. You would be surprise of how a Filipino family lives for we maintain in us what they call, family-centeredness. Often times, we would have a gathering or reunion of our family's family. Hospitality are also what Filipinos are known for. How about our respect for the elders, we show this by saying "po" or "opo" and by kissing their hands. Well, if you want to learn more about our place and my countrymen, you might as well visit the Philipines one of these days and you'll see for your self what am I talking about.

since majority of the Filipinos are Catholic, divorce and abortion is prohibited. and anyway, it is not because of religion but it is also stated in the law. i think there are only two countries that never allowed divorce, one is philippines and one i think is malta. as of now, majority of the filipinos are conservatives mostly those stereotype persons, but with the level of thinking of the youths now, i think its a combination of being liberated and conservative. of course, if there is something good in our country, there are also negative things, one of this are politics and government. so right now, philippines is suffering from negative political affairs, corruption and government hidden agendas.
