Since 1898, when Americans defeated the Spanish navy off Manila, the Philippines entered the era of American sphere of influence from the history of being colonized by Spain for more than 350 years, and American consumption behavior and living habits began to greatly influence the Philippines. ..

Nowadays, the life etiquette of Filipinos is deeply influenced by Catholicism and Americans (Catholicism is a very big cultural custom brought to the Philippines by the Spanish). ..

In terms of dining customs, it is almost the same as Americans. However, Filipinos seem to be more hospitable. It may be that there is a lot of rain and crops grow easily. So they are more willing to share food than Americans {my personal understanding}.

The problem of power distance .. I think Filipinos are no different from Americans in this respect. ..

The concept of risk is the biggest crisis for Filipinos ... because, in essence, this country is easy to grow crops and has a wide variety of fruits, which was originally an important rice producing area. However, such geographical conditions have led Filipinos to lose the habit of storing food and not working hard. In addition, they are deeply influenced by Catholicism. They didn't use contraception at all. Even abortion is illegal. Therefore, at the end of 1990s, the population exploded by more than 40%. By 2003, it was conservatively estimated that there were more than 90 million people. There are also a bunch of poor people living on garbage dumps. Beggars are not alone. They are usually family members. They work in the alley and give birth in the alley a few months later.

The population of this country is growing too fast. In recent years, rice has been in short supply. The price of rice is soaring. We must import to maintain the stability of people's livelihood.

Although young people account for a high proportion of the total population, there will be fewer jobs and a high unemployment rate. Many people go abroad to look for opportunities ... At present, there are more than 2 million people working as nurses, seriously ill nurses and maids in hospitals in the United States, Canada and Britain (including oil-producing countries). ..

Exploration of fuzzy events ... basically, Filipinos ask questions in class ... like Americans ... but they Filipinos are poor in persistence and easy to compromise. Especially in the field of work, it should be said directly ... they are not a hardworking people ... Therefore, although Chinese or Chinese descendants account for less than 10% of the total population, they control about 70% of the national economy.

Nearly 70% of the banks in this country are owned by China businessmen. The biggest airline, the biggest beer company and the biggest department store are all owned by China people. Plus, the biggest fast food restaurant is also {McDonald's is no match for his local fast food chain}.

In fact, there are many different nationalities in the Philippines. So the language used in the south and the capital circle is completely different. When the Philippines was not discovered by Magellan's fleet, many tribes were a bit like matriarchal society. This may also lead to men not being like China people in terms of family responsibility. ..

On average, there are more women than men in this country. However, generally speaking, all families, especially fathers, want to have boys. This is partly because of this. Many families have several children. The purpose is to have a boy.

As for the latter question, generally speaking, it is similar to that of Americans. After all, during World War II, the Philippines was occupied by the Japanese for five years. This country has been deeply influenced by Americans for 65,438+0 centuries. Filipinos learn English from primary school. Watch American movies and American dramas when you grow up. They heard about America's freedom, material civilization and consumption atmosphere. ...

That's right. You can choose between career and family. I think Filipinos pay more attention to family. This is more Spanish.

Personally, I am a little concerned about the economy, politics, public security and other aspects of the Philippines because I have gone to the Philippines to learn English several times in recent years. ..

Generally speaking, I think the Catholic ideology hinders the progress of this country ... democratic politics and American system (people can own guns, which leads to poor public security, even soldiers gang up to rob banks, police manipulate and kidnap China, etc. ) is not entirely applicable to this country. There are too many problems in this country to improve.

Answer this for now. ..
