Filipino Habit That You Hate

Yung idea ng utang na loob, buong buhay mo binabayaran. Walang sense

Pero pwede naman pwersahin yan.  Gayahin ang ibang bansa na me retirement account na invested sa US stocks.  I-prioritize dapat yan ng president.

1.😶 “Hiya” and “Pakikisama” Misused (Avoidance of Confrontation) - These values are meant to preserve harmony, but often they suppress accountability. People stay silent about corruption, incompetence, or unfair treatment just to “keep the peace.”

2.🕐 Cultural Acceptance of Lateness (“Filipino Time”) – A relaxed view of punctuality that undermines professionalism and productivity.

3. 🦀 Crab Mentality – A competitive insecurity that manifests as undermining others’ success rather than collaborating or supporting.

4. 💸 Normalization of Dependency - The tendency to rely too heavily on others — family, friends, or government — without fostering personal accountability or self-reliance. It weakens initiative and sustainability.

5.🗣️ Chismis Culture (Gossip and Social Surveillance) - Focusing on other people’s private lives instead of addressing real issues or self-improvement. It sustains negativity and distracts from meaningful dialogue.

6. 💭 “Pwede Na” Mentality (Settling for Mediocrity) - Accepting “good enough” instead of striving for excellence. This limits creativity, innovation, and long-term national growth.
