There are many things that make the Philippines famous, examples are being very family oriented or being very respectful when it comes to the children to the elderly. Many Filipino families tell their children that always be respectful when encountering your elderly. For example when you are having a family reunion and when you arrive to your destination and your family sees the other part of the family and you see your grand parents your parents would say go say hi and "mano po" to your lolo and lola. The Filipinos are also famous for their hospitality. When visiting a province like baguio they are nice and they welcome you to their province and sometimes they give you freebies.
There are many things that make the Filipinos famous another example is, helping each other when in need. For the Filipinos this is called "Bayanihan". They help each other when in need for example there is an accident of a house on fire, the neighbors would firstly alert the fire department and help their neighbor hold the fire back and save all possible objects. For example the recent Super typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan, not only the Filipinos helped in donating canned goods and money but the whole world also helped. Even though the Philippines is a third world country there are many Filipinos and countries that helped donate to the victims of the said calamity. The so called "Bayanihan" started all the way back when the Spaniards tried to conquer the Philippines cause of the minerals and other materials. The Filipinos helped each other and stood up against the Spaniards.
