Filipinos smile every day.

The Philippines is rich in natural products, with four seasons like summer.

In Asia, I am afraid that no country is more unlucky than the Philippines. On natural disasters, there are typhoons, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in this country; On man-made disasters, coups, civil wars, endless political struggles, kidnappings, drug smuggling, fires, shipwrecks and other accidents, it is really endless.

Strangely, Filipinos never frown in such a harsh and difficult environment. They laughed and laughed all day, and their faces never felt distressed or sad. The author has worked and lived in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, for many years. Don't say that I haven't seen Filipinos beating and cursing in public places such as shopping malls and streets, and it's rare to even blush and talk roughly. People may ask curiously: Don't Filipinos know about troubles and worries? Why do they never get angry? Do they lack "anxiety"?

Men and women are good-natured.

Filipino men are optimistic and humorous. They like to play jokes on each other when they are together. Nobody will be angry anyway. When making impromptu speeches on formal occasions, they like to tell a joke or two at the beginning, which is also very interesting and attracts the audience. They never quarrel with women in public, because arguing with women outside the home and bedroom is regarded as a sign of lack of self-cultivation. In a political debate, if a male politician can't argue with an aggressive female politician, he will lean over and say with a smile, I don't want to argue with this lady.

Women in this country are well educated and professionally trained. They have both the enthusiasm of western women and the gentleness of oriental women in their service. Dealing with them is simply a wonderful enjoyment, as if you are God. When I was young, I was a little angry. How many times have I been in a hurry when I went out to work, and when my voice rose when I did something wrong, it was their smiling faces and patient answers that made me angry. They love it, and they can always be soft, so that you can't find a chance to lose your temper.

Filipinos don't say "no"

The carefree and optimistic nature of Filipinos is related to the country's physical geography and climate environment. The Philippines is rich in natural products, with four seasons like summer. People don't worry about food and clothing. Just pick a few bananas and coconuts from the tree to satisfy your hunger, and you can live with a pair of slippers, a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. There has never been news of starvation and freezing to death. Although they have nothing, they live quite easily. They are not afraid of bankruptcy, robbery or kidnapping. They are not as tired and scared as the rich people who fight in the mall.

The character of eternal happiness is also related to the religious beliefs of Filipinos. The Philippines is the only Roman Catholic country in Asia. About 85% of the people in this country are Catholics. Almost every jeep that shuttles through the streets is written with religious words or portraits of Jesus. Whenever they pass by the church, the drivers will cross their chests and mumble something. I don't know whether they are praying or repenting, but one thing is certain, that is, they have given their little troubles to God at that moment.

Filipinos also have a typical good temper, that is, they will not say "no" to others easily, because it is considered impolite. Filipinos are embarrassed to say no, so when they say yes or promise something, you should ask it again in a different way to make sure it is really "good" rather than fake "good". For example, if you need a bed to move into a new house, go to the furniture store and look at the samples. Ask the shopkeeper if it is possible to deliver the goods in a day or two, and the shopkeeper will say "yes". But then you will probably wait around, and no one will come. If you have experience, you will be told to ask in another way: "Do you think it is more difficult to deliver goods to your door today or tomorrow?" Because there is no need to say "no", what the shopkeeper said is much more reliable.

"Ba-Harana" philosophy

Filipinos are very gentle. They are in no hurry. What they often say is: Ba-Halla. The typhoon is coming, they are in Ba-Halla; There is no money at home, and he says Ba-Hara is here. Is the child sick, or Ba-Halla? What exactly does "Ba-Hara" mean? If you ask 10 Filipinos, you may get 10 answers. Some people say that Bafan is safe, some people say what Bafan does, some people say that Bafan is an act of God, and some people say that Bafan means to wait and see.

Although many Filipinos have difficulties at home, if relatives and friends come to their home before dinner, they will definitely keep their guests for dinner and take out their food for them. Anyone who can't keep his guests will be laughed at by his neighbors. Filipinos like to have money today and spend it today. In rural areas, it is common for farmers to be in debt before harvest. If you want to ask them how to live in the future, many Filipinos often shrug their shoulders, spread their hands and blurt out "Ba-Halla that".

In a word, Baha 'hara has become a life philosophy of Filipinos, which means that everything in the world is always in disorder. It's no use worrying. God will help you, so everything has to be resigned.
