Episode #04: Four Common Filipino Family Habits Rooted in Survival, Not Love

In this episode of Stay True, Stay Empowered, I talk about four common family habits in Filipino culture that came from survival rather than love. I explore how obedience was often confused with respect, how staying silent was seen as being strong, how eldest children were expected to carry the weight of the family, and how many fathers believed that providing for the family was enough. These patterns may have helped our parents and grandparents survive hard times, but they can be harmful today. By understanding their roots, we can begin to unlearn them and choose a healthier, more loving path for ourselves and future generations.
