Filipina Culture

.... IT is also a tradition that the man should "harana" or serenade the woman as he plays guitar and sing a love song most likely during night time. The woman accepts the harana of the man as she lets him come in the house.

When I sing the local dogs start howling in appreciation, people scream at me to stop. I think they call me a "right pain in the ear". at least I think they said ear.

Thanks for for all the info m&m. Thankfully there is always lip sync. I will just have to do a Milli Vanilli (that shows my age )

What a great topic! Excellent replies.
I personally would not mind having a jealous mate. But, she would understand, just from knowing me, that I would never stray from a loving woman. I could never understand why anyone, male or female, would want to sneak off, be with another, then sleeze back into the marriage bed and be fine with it. Especally if their partner is good and loving to them !!!

I wish it was that easy to decide what a person's characteristics are based upon where they are from, but someone's personality depends upon a lot more than birthplace or heritage. It relys more on the two shaping factors of 'nature' and 'nurture'. It does have something to do with genetics, but it also depends upon one's envrionment, and the way one is raised.

I agree with you, it is up how he or she is being raised by the family and the influence of the environment. But there are distinct qualities of a filipino depends on the tribe he or she belongs. Most of the Pangasinans are very economical. Those who are cebuanos are really accomodating. I have lots of friends from Visayas particularly cebu and those who are Tagalogs have close family ties.

Because, on spiritual side, the devil wants to destroy our lives and that includes relationship. No man is perfect, as much as possible keep a relationship in tune with God and He will keep you in good hand
