Filipino Families
Filipinos are known for being family oriented. In western countries, people usually leave their parents’ house once they turn 18 years old. While in the Philippines, it is common to live with one’s parents even after marriage. It is important for Filipino families to have a meal together every day whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. They get to communicate during mealtime as they share things that happened in their daily lives. They also like celebrating special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas by eating together. By doing so, they get to strengthen their bond as a family.
