Some characteristic of Filipino Respect for elders. Caring for elders. Ambiguity. A Filipino's yes is not final. Most of the times a Filipino will answer yes to a request, even though he does not intend to fulfill it, just as not to hurt the other's feeling. Respect of Authorities (political, religious, title, economic status) sometimes to the point of blind submission. Charity, will share his meal, possession with others [i][b](except the wife).[/b][/i]
