ANALYSIS Do you agree with the differentiation between the West and the East? Where can you find the Philippines in the distinction? What are the factors that make the Philippines similar or different from its Asian neighbors? Is there also a difference between regions or ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines?
My answer is yes, I agree with the differentiation between the east and west. Each of them has a very unique culture of their own and could easily be identified. For example, the west seeks understanding and knowledge whereas in the east, it is more of being one with the environment. The east also gives more importance to the spiritual life and its connection to our humanity. The west, on the other hand, is more concerned on the scientific explanation of things. APPLICATION AND ASSESSMENT Create a representation, diagram, or concept map of the SELF according to Filipino culture. Provide a brief explanation of your output.

It is said that the Filipino culture is a blend of the east and west because of colonialism. The Filipino character is a bit of all cultures together. Filipinos were said to be of Malay origin and that bayanihan or spirit of kinship the camaraderie of which Filipinos are famous of are said to be taken from Malay forefathers. The close family ties are said to be inherited from Chinese. The devotedness in religion was introduced by the Spaniards who colonized the Philippines to become Christians.
