Mga Halimbawa ng Sanaysay Tungkol sa Pamilya

Ang pamilya, masayang pamilya, ako ay ako dahil sa aking pamilya, kahalagahan ng pamilya, pagbubuo ng isang malakas na pamilya.

Ang sanaysay na ito ay galing sa seasite.niu.edu

Una sa lahat, ang isang Pilipino ay bahagi ng kanyang pamilya. Kahit siya ay doktor, manunulat, siyentipiko, o ano pa man, nananatili siyang ama o anak, pamangkin o apo, sa loob ng kanyang pamilya. Dito ay iba ang kanyang katungkulan at ang pagkakakilala sa kanya. Sa lahat ng oras ay pangunahin sa kanya ang kanyang tungkulin bilang kasapi ng isang pamilya.

Ang pinakaubod ng pamilyang Pilipino ay ang ama, ina at mga anak. Ang ama ang pinakapuno ng pamilya. Siya ang nasusunod at nagpapasya para sa pamilya. Sa kabilang dako ay tungkulin niyang pakainin, bigyan ng matitirhan at papag-aralin ang mga miyembro ng kanyang pamilya. Kaya siya ang nagtatrabaho at kumikita ng pera. Ang ina naman ang bahala sa bahay at sa pag-aalaga ng mga bata. Siya ang humahawak ng pera ng pamilya at pinagkakasya ito sa pangangailangan ng pamilya. Ang mga anak naman ay may responsibilidad rin. Sagutin nila ang mahusay na pag-aaral at ang pagtulong sa bahay.

Kasama rin sa pag-aalala ng pamilya ang lolo at lola, ang mga kapatid ng ama at ina, lalo na’t ang mga ito’y nakababata. Kadalasa’y sama-sama sa isang bahay ang lolo at lola, ang ama at ina, at ang mga anak. Kung minsa’y kapisan din ang wala pang asawang kapatid ng ama o ina. Kapag ganitong kumpleto ang pamilya’y tatlong salin-lahi ang nakatira sa iisang bahay. Tulung-tulong sila sa mga gawain at sa paghahanap-buhay.

Masinsin ding inaalala ng pamilya ang bawat kaarawan at anibersaryo. Sa mga okasyong ito ay may mga salu-salo’t pagtitipon. Ang may kaarawan o may anibersaryo ay binibigyan ng regalo. Nagbabalitaan ang pamilya at ikinukuwento ang buhay-buhay ng isa’t-isa. Gayun din ang buhay-buhay ng iba pang kamag-anak. Sa ganitong paraan, alam ng lahat ang halos lahat nang nangyayari sa iba pang pinsan o pamangkin. Masasabing tsismis ang ganitong pagbabalitaan subali’t may mabuti itong aspeto. Kung may nangangailangan ng tulong ay nalalaman kaagad ng pamilya.

Ang pagtulong ay isang malaking bahagi ng samahan ng magkakamag-anak. Sa pananaw na ito, hindi maaring umangat nang nag-iisa ang isang tao. Kailangan niya ang tulong ng kaniyang pamilya – sapagkat lubhang mahirap ang buhay sa mundo. Sa kabilang dako, ang taong may pag-aaruga sa kanyang pamilya ay kinakasiyahan ng kapalaran. Ganito halos ang nangyayari lalo na sa mga pamilya ng dukha. Nagtutulong-tulong ang mga nakababatang anak, ang ama at ina, upang mapaaral ang pinakamatanda. Pag nakatapos na ito, tungkulin naman niyang paaralin ang kanyang mga kapatid. Kung mag-aasawa man siya ay inaasahan na tutulong din ang mapapangasawa niya.

May mabuti at masamang aspeto ang ganitong tradisyon sa Pilipinas. Kung minsan ay nagsasamantala ang ibang kamag-anak. Sapagkat lagi silang may matatakbuhan ay hindi sila natututong maging responsable sa kanilang buhay. Pangalawa’y nahihirapan ang isang Pilipino na makaabot sa kanyang mga layunin sa buhay. Mangyari’y dala-dala niya ang problema ng kanyang buong pamilya.

Sa kabilang dako, ang pagtutulungang ito marahil ang pinakamatibay na sandata laban sa trahedya. Ang mga naulilang mga bata ay may maaasahan. At kahit na mahirap ang isang pamilya’y nakararaos din kahit paano. Ang pamilya rin ang nagtataguyod ng mahuhusay na pagpapahalagang sosyal. Itinataguyod nito ang pagiging responsable, ang pagtutulungan, ang pagkakaisa at pagtatangi sa isa’t-isa. Matibay din itong sanggalang laban sa tinatawag na “alienation” at iba pang karamdaman ng isip at damdamin.

Sa ating mundo ipinanganak tayo na walang kamuwang-muwang ngunit may mga taong handa tayong mahalin, alagaan at ibigay ang lahat kung anong meron sila, handang magsakripisko upang tayo’y lumaki ng maayos at may takot sa dios. Ipinapakita nila kung gaano sila kasaya noong dumating tayo sa buhay nila at ipinapadama nila kung ano ang kahulugan ng pag-ibig at pamilya.

Ang aking pamilya ang aking inspirasyon .Sila ang nagbigay sakin ng pagmamahal. Masayang masaya ako dahil sila ang naging aking pamilya. Ang king tatay at ang aking nanay ang mga taong mahalaga  sakin at ang aking mga kapatid ay ang mga taong nagpapasaya sakin . Sa ating pamilya nakakaranas tao ng mga pagsubok sa buhay ngunit pag tayo ay buo hindi tayo sumusuko  dahil alam natin sa pamilya tayo humuhugot ng lakas ng loob upang malampasan ang sakit at pagsubok na ating nararamdaman

Ipinapakita sa aking pamilya kunG gaano kahalaga ang pagmamahalan sa bawat isa. Sa pamilya nagsisimula lahat ng mga gawaing mabuti at paggalang sa ibang tao. ibinibigay nila ang ating mga pangangailangan. Ang pagmamahalan ng pamilya ay isang mahalagang bagy kung saan ibinibigay natin sa bawat isa .Ang may matatag na pamilya ay isang pundasyon ng lahat ng dakilang bansa.

Akda ni Kimberly T. Balontong

Pamilya Pera? Salapi? Luho? Wala ako niyan. Pero nag-iisa lang ang itunuturing kong kayamanan, ang aking pamilya. Kaagapay, kasalo at kadamay sa lahat ng oras o bagay. Sa lahat ng nararanasan ko, ang aking pamilya ang siyang aking nagiging sandigan. Ako ay ako dahil sa aking pamilya.

Isa-isahin mo ang iyong mga karanasan sa pamilya na iyong nakapulutan ng aral o nagkaroon ng positibong impluwensya sa iyong sarili. Sa loob ng 13 taon na aking pananatili sa mundong ito, kahit kailan di ko naranasan ang magkaroon ng buong pamilya. Dahil wala akong tatay. Pero, kahit ganoon, pinaramdam sa akin ng aking nanay at dalawa kong kuya na hindi ako nag-iisa. At ang dalawa kong kuya ang siyang nagsilbi at nagparamdam sa akin na meron akong tatay kahit papaano. Ang aking aral na napulot ay, maging kontento kung ano ang meron ka. At imbes na maghanap ng kulang mo, ituon mo ang atensyon mo sa mga bagay na meron ka. Dahil hangga’t hinahanap mo ang kulang sa’yo, lalo kang magiging malungkot.

Suriin mo rin kung paano ka inihanda o inihahanda ng iyong pamilya sa mas malaking mundo ang pakikipagkapwa. Isa-isang itala sa iyong kuwaderno ang lahat ng mahahalagang reyalisasyon tungkol dito.  Mula sa aking pagkabata, tinuruan na ako ng aking pamilya na maging magalang at mabait sa lahat ng tao. Tinuruan nila ako ng magandang asal. At kapag ako ay may pagkakamali, pinapaliwanag sa akin ng aking ina ang lahat upang aking maintindihan kung bakit niya ako dinidisiplina. Hindi sa paraang natatakot ako. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, tumatak na sa aking isip ang tamang pakikitungo sakapwa mo. At ang una kong naging paaralan ay ang aking pamilya.

Mas magiging makabuluhan kung lilikha ng isang “photo journal” sa computer gamit ang moviemaker o powerpoint. Maaari ring gumupit ng mga larawan mulasa lumang magasin at ito ang gamitin upang ipahayag ang bunga ng ginawang pagsusuri.

Ano ang iyong naging damdamin sa pagsasagawa ng gawaing ito?  Ako, ay masaya sapagkat inilalarawan ko ang aking mga karanasan at bumabalik-balik sa isip ko ang mga pangyayaring nagpatibay pa sa aming relasyon bilang pamilya. Ano ang mahalagang reyalisasyon na iyong nakuha mula sa gawaing ito?  Marami akong napagtanto habang ginagawa ito. Natutunan ko na i-share sa iba ang karanasan ko sa pamilya ko at matutong makuntento sa kung ano ang meron ka.

Bakit mahalagang maglaan ng panahon upang suriin ang iyong ugnayan sa iyong pamilya? Ipaliwanag.  Sa paglipas ng panahon, alam nating mas bumibigat at dumadami ang ating responsible bilang isang miyembro sa pamilya. Minsan sa sobra nating busy, hindi na nagkakaroon ng komunikasyon, na madalas pang nagdudulot sa pagkasira ng isang pamilya. Para sa akin, kahit papaano nabibigyan naman namin ng sapat na oras ang bawat isa. Ang sabay na pagsisimba, ay magpapatibay hindi lamang sa samahan, kundi sa pananampalataya sa Diyos.

Ano ang ibinibigay ng pamilya na tunay na nakatutulong sa isang indibidwal upang mapaunlad ang kanyang sarili tungo sa pakikipagkapwa?  Binibigyan nila ng oras ang pagdidisiplina at higit sa lahat hindi nila ito idinadaan sa pananakot at pananakit. Pero kung minsan, hindi rin mapigilan ang damdamin kaya minsan napapalo.  Pero ipinapaliwanag naman nila sa akin ng maayos. Dahil dito, natuto akong rumespeto gaya nga ng turo sa akin ng aking pamilya. Ang pagiging masiyahin ay natutuhan ko din sa kanila. Ang una kong guro ay ang aking pamilya.

Akda ni April Juanitez

Ang kahalagan ng pamilya ay mahalaga sapagkat dito nag uumpisa at dito hinuhubog ang isang pagkatao ng bawat isa. Ito ang sandigan ng bawat isa sa tuwing may problema at dito rin humuhugot ng lakas ng loob ang bawat isa kapag may dumadating na problema.

Ang ibang kabataan ay napapariwara ang buhay sa kadahilanang ang pundasyon ng kanilang pamilya ay mahina at walang pag kakaisa. Ang mga kabataan na galing sa broken family ay nasisisira ang kanilang buhay sapagkat nagrerebelde sila at natututo rin silang gumamit ng mga ipinagbabawal na gamot. Pero hindi lahat ng mga kabataan na galingbsa broken family ay napapariwara ang buhay, ang iba ay ginagamit itong inspirasyon sa buhay para maging matagumpay sila sa kanilang mga pangarap.

Mahalaga ang pamilya dahil sila ang mas higit na nakakaintindi sa atin sa mga panahong wala tayong masasandalan sa panahon ng puro problema lang ang dumarating sa buhay. Ang kahalagahan ng buong pamilya na ito ay kayang mong humarap sa mundo na buo ang iyong pagkatao dahil sa pamilya at masaya ang may buong pamilya.

Ano ang kahulugan ng pamilya para sa inyo?  May ilang taong naniniwalang ang isang pamilya’y tulad ng isang magandang kahong puno ng mga bagay na gusto nila: pagmamahal, katuwaan, pagkakaroon ng kasama (companionship) at iba pang magagandang bagay; isang kahong mabubuksan kailanma’t nais nila ng mga bagay na ito.

Marahil, mas nakakatulad ng isang walang lamang kahon ang pamilya.  Nagiging maganda at makabuluhanito batay sa kung ano ang ginagawa rito ng mga tao.  Kailangang sidlan muna ito ng laman ng mga tao bago may makuhang anuman mula rito. Kung nais natin ng pagmamahal at katuwaan sa ating mga pamilya, kailangang magtanim muna tayo ng pagmamahal, paglilingkod at paghikayat sa isa’t isa. Ang mga ito ang nagpapatigib sa kahon. Ang paglalabas ng higit sa isinilid natin ay magpapabasyo sa kahon sa malao’t madali.

Matatagpuan sa buong mundo ang maraming matatag na pamilya.  Maaaring mayaman o mahirap sila.  Maaaring iba-iba rin ang pagkakabuo nila, halimbawa:

• isang ina, ama, at mga anak, o
• isang ina na may isa o higit pang anak, o
• mga lolo’t lolang kasama ng kanilang mga anak at apo, o
• mag-asawang walang anak.

Matatatag na pamilya ang pundasyon ng lahat ng dakilang bansa.  Tumutulong silang humubog ng mga taong nagiging katulad natin.  Kung kailangan nating lumaking malulusogat maliligaya ang mga anak natin, mahalagang magkaroon tayo ng matatatag na pamilya.

Anim ang Katangiang Kailangan sa Pagbubuo ng Matatag na Pamilya

Para mapuno ang “kahon”, kailangang magkaroon ng sumusunod na katangian ang isang pamilya:

• may pananagutan (komitment) sila sa isa’t isa;
• nagpapakita ng pagpapahalaga;
• may mabuting komunikasyon;
• may panahong nagkakasama-sama sila;
• sumusunod sa kanilang mga paniniwalang ispiritwal at umaayon sa kanilang mga pagpapahalaga;
• nakakaagapay sa  stress .

Pananagutan/Komitment 

Makatutulong tayong lalong mapatatag ang pamilya sa pagkakaroon ng pananagutansa isa’t isa,  sa pagiging tapat, sa pagsasama-sama bilang isang pangkat, at sa pag-aalaga sa isa’t isa.  Maraming paraan para maipakita ang pananagutan at mapanatiling ligtas, malusog at maligaya ang pamilya.  Narito ang ilan:

• Maging tapat sa inyong pamilya.  Bawasan ang mga aktibidad sa labas at gumugol   ng mas maraming oras sa piling nila.
• Tuparin ang mga pangako sa ibang miyembro ng pamilya.
• Sa puntong sekswal, maging tapat sa kapareha.
• Maging maaasahan.  Tumawag sa bahay kung mahuhuli ka ng uwi.
• Tumawag at magsabing “mahal kita” kung naglakbay ka sa malayo.
• Bumuo ng mga alaalang pampamilya.  Magtago ng family album na may mga retrato at kuwento.
• Kapag may problema, tumawag kaninuman, sa isang kamag-anak, kaibigan o isang tagapangalaga ng kalusugan*, para matulungan kayong harapin ito.
• Ano pa ang ibang paraan para maipakita ninyo ang pananagutan?

Pagpapahalaga 

Kapag ipinakikita natin ang pagpapahalaga sa pamamagitan ng mga salita at gawa, naipakikita natin sa ating pamilyang pinahahalagahan at itinatangi natin sila.  Maiging isipin kung gaano natin pinahahalagahan ang iba.  Ngunit, hindi nila malalaman ang nararamdaman natin hangga’t hindi natin sinasabi.  Maraming pamilya ang may espesyal na pagtitipon kung Araw ng mga Ina o Araw ng mga Ama upang maipadama ang pagpapahalaga sa magulang.  Maraming kultura ang nagdiriwang ng mga tanging araw para parangalan ang mga bata.  Narito ang ilang ideya tungkol sa ibang paraan ng pagpapakita ng pagpapahalaga:

• Sabihin sa isang miyembro ng pamilya na siya ’y mahal ninyo.
• Magsabi ng anumang positibo sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya araw-araw.
• Sorpresahin ang isang miyembro ng pamilya   (halimbawa, isang ginawang kard) kahit na walang okasyon.
• Dalasan ang pagyakap sa mga miyembro ng pamilya.
• Hanapin ang mabuti sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya.   Sabihin ito sa kanila.
• Tulungan ang isang miyembro ng pamilya sa kanyang gawain ( pagliligpit, paglalaba, paghuhugas ng pinggan, atbp.)
• Maglista ng 5 bagay na gusto ninyo sa isang miyembro ng pamilya.   Ibigay ang listahan sa miyembrong iyon bilang isang regalo.

Dumaraan sa panahong nagkakaproblema ang pamilya.  Magagamit nila ang problema para maging lalong matatag at malapit sa isa’t isa.  Kung medyo babaguhin natin ang ating pag-iisip, makikita nating ang krisis ay isang oportunidad para maging matatag.  Narito ang ilang bagay na maaaring subuking kung dumating ang problema.

• Mag-isip ng anumang mabuti, gaano man kasama ang sitwasyon.
• Humingi ng tulong sa sinumang dumaan na sa katulad na krisis (kamag-anak, kaibigan, kapitbahay), o humingi ng payo sa mga espesyalistang gaya ng sikolohista, abogado, o tagapangalaga ng kalusugan.  Tumawag sa isang crisis hotline o minister.  Makatutulong silang humanang ng tutulong sa inyo.
• Matutong magsama-sama bilang isang pamilya.  Sa pamamagitan ng pagsasama-sama. Maliligtasan ng pamilya ang kahit pinakamahirap na problema.
• Tandaang ang anumang pagbabago sa buhay — pagsilang ng isang anak, bagong trabaho o pagkataas sa tungkulin, kasal, kamatayan o pagreretiro–ay laging  stressful .
• Tandaang ang mga  stress,  problema at paghihirap ay bahagi ng buhay.
• Harapin ang mga problema nang dahan-dahan.  Gumawa ng listahan ng mga bagay na dapat gawin at isa-isang asikasuhin ito.
• Huwag alalahanin  ang mga nakalipas o ang mga bagay na wala kayong kapangyarihang kontrolin.
• Manood ng isang nakakatawang sine, tumawag sa isang kaibigan, makipagkuwentuhan nang masasayang kuwento, piliting tumawa at/o umiyak.
• Mag-ehersisyo para mawala ang tensiyon at matulungan kayong magrelaks.  Gawin ito nang magkakasama bilang isang pamilya.

Komunikasyon

Gaano man kahirap, importante sa isang pamilyang magkaroon ng komunikasyon. Kailangan nating kausapin, pakinggan, at unawain ang isa’t isa.  Kailangang may makahati tayo sa ating mga kaisipan at damdamin.  Sa ganitong paraan tayo natututong magtiwala at umasa sa isa’t isa.

Araw-araw, nagbibigay ng pagkakataon ang buhay para gawin ito.  Narito ang isang halimbawa:

• Magbigay ng pagkakataon para mag-usap — sa paglalakad, pagkain, o habang naghuhugas ng pinggan.  Pag-usapan ang mga pang-araw-araw, gayundin ang mahahalagang bagay.
• Sabihin ang masasakit at nakahihiyang karanasan, gayundin ang mabubuti.
• Maging isang mabuting tagapakinig — sa katandaan man o kabataan.
• Kung mainisin o masyadong tahimik ang isang  miyembro ng pamilya, tanungin kung ano ang problema, ngunit maging sensitibo rin kung nangangailangan ito ng pribasya.
• Maging bukas-loob na magsabi kung ano ang nakaaabala sa inyong isip o kung ano ang ikinagagalit ninyo; huwag hayaang lumala ito.
• Maging ispesipiko.   Sabihing isa-isa ang problema.  Igalang ang ideya ng bawat isa kahit hindi ninyo ito sinasang-ayunan.
• Alisin ang karahasan sa pamilya.   Magtalo nang walang paluan.  Disiplinang walang sampalan.

Dahil masyadong marami tayong pinagkakaabalahan sa buhay, wala tayong panahong makita o makasama ang isa’t isa.  Mahalagang maglaan ng panahon para magkasama-sama upang makita ang isa’t isa at maging matibay ang bigkis ng pamilya.  Maraming paraan para magkasama-sama.  Nakalista sa ibaba ang ilan:

• Basahan ng libro o makipagkuwentuhang kasama ang mga bata bago matulog.
• Patayin ang TV at maglarong magkakasama.
• Gugulin ang mga holiday at espesyal na okasyon sa piling ng buong pamilya.  Magplano ng mga lingguhang gawaing kalulugdan ng buong pamilya.
• Paminsan-minsan, isama sa trabaho ang inyong mga anak para makita nila kung ano ang ginagawa ninyo.
• Magtrabaho bilang isang pamilya sa isang proyektong pang-eskwela o pangkomunidad, gaya ng pamumulot ng basura.
• Kahit isang beses isang araw, kumaing magkakasalo bilang isang pamilya.
• Dumalo sa miting ng mga magulang, sa isang pangyayaring pang-isport o pang-eskuwela, at sa mga seremonyang kumikilala ng tagumpay ng isang miyembro ng pamilya.
• Gawing “malaki” o “importante” ang kaarawan ng bawat isa.
• Makipag-ayos sa isang mag-aalaga ng bata para makapag-date kayo ng inyong kabiyaknang kayo lamang dalawa.

Pagpapahalaga at Paniniwala

Nagsisimba man sila o hindi, may pinananaligang dakilang kabutihan o kapangyarihan sa kanilang buhay ang matatatag na pamilya.  Ang pananalig na iyon ang nabibigay sa kanila ng lakas at layunin.  Iniimpluwensiyahan nito ang kanilang pang-araw-araw na kaisipan at kilos.  Ang sumusunod ang ilan sa mga paraan kung paano maipapatupad ng pamilya ang kanilang paniniwala:

• Tratuhin ang pamilya kung paano mo tatratuhin ang sarili.
• Imbitahan ang isang kaibigang makipaghapunan sa inyong pamilya.
• Ipagdiwang ang religious holidays sa piling ng pamilya.
• Makipagpangkat sa inyong pamilya sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan: bawasan ang mga ginagamit; muli’t muling gamitin ang ilang bagay, mag-recycle ng papel, bote, plastik at iba pang karaniwang itinatapon.
• Gumamit ng kuwento sa pagtuturo sa mga anak ng pagpapahalagang gaya ng katapatan, paumanhin at pananagutan.
• Magboluntir ng oras o pera sa isang kapaki-pakinabang na layuning pinaniniwalaan ninyo.
• Magkakasamang magsimba o magpasalamat, sa anumang paraan ng pagsampalatayangginagawa ng inyong pamilya.
• Maging modelo ng inyong pamilya sa pagsasabuhay ng inyong mga paniniwala.

Essay About Filipino Family

The family is the most important unit in our society. It is where people first learned how to communicate, interact and be a contributor to the society they are living in (Wilson, 2013). Filipinos are traditionally close to their families and children who are reared and brought up in a traditional Filipino family will most likely get the values and traditions that his or her family inculcated to him or her. A typical Filipino family is also traditional and follows cultural norms which influences the values they uphold within the family (Dy, 1994). In the family, children learn and build values and attitudes that they will bring with them throughout their lives. The values that they get inside the family will be the basis for their actions in the future.

Exemplification Essay: Growing Up In An Asian Family

As a child growing up in an Asian household, I quickly became aware of how different my parents’ style of teaching was when compared to my other friends in elementary school. I remember feeling very surprised to hear how lenient most of my friend’s families were. I could never dream of even asking my parents at that age if I was allowed to stay over at a friend’s house. Everything, for me, revolved around doing chores and getting good grades. It was also strange for me to see how close and warm my friends’ families were together; where there were dedicated nights for board games or nights where they would watch TV together.

The Importance Of Sex Education In High School Education

Family Background Essay

Family Background: I was born on January 11, 1999 in Miami, Florida. I spent most of my early childhood with my grandparents while my parents worked. My grandfather would wake up in the morning to make sure my brother and I went to school safe and by the time we finished there was always a homemade meal waiting for us, it was something I looked forward to. In spite of us having had a language barrier and them no longer being around the influence they instilled on me is tremendous. From them I learned to have the strength to deal with other challenging obstacles life had to offer.

Understanding Filipino Kinship and Family Values

• by Amiel Pineda
• January 10, 2024 January 10, 2024

Have you ever wondered what lies at the heart of Filipino culture?

The intricate web of kinship and family values in the Philippines serves as the cornerstone of societal structure and individual identity.

From the intricate web of kinship ties to the deeply ingrained respect for familial elders, Filipino family dynamics are both fascinating and complex.

As you explore the nuances of Filipino kinship and family values, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the cultural tapestry that shapes the lives of many Filipinos, both within and beyond the borders of the archipelago.

Importance of Extended Family

Embracing the significance of extended family bonds, Filipino culture emphasizes the pivotal role that extended family members play in providing emotional support and guidance.

In Filipino culture, the concept of family extends beyond just genetic connections; it encompasses a network of relatives and non-relatives who are deeply intertwined in each other’s lives.

Close family ties are evident in the way three generations often live together in Filipino households, with grandparents playing a significant role in raising their grandchildren. This emphasizes the sense of duty and responsibility towards family members, especially elders, as per the deeply rooted concept of filial piety.

The support for their family members is a fundamental aspect of Filipino culture, and large celebrations serve as a reminder of the importance of extended family bonds and unity in the Filipino community.

Gender Roles in Filipino Families

Gender roles in Filipino families are often influenced by a patriarchal societal tag, but the country is closer to exhibiting a matriarchal society, where female influence is significant and many women hold senior roles in business and government. The head of the household is usually the oldest female, and decision-making within the home is often done by mothers and daughters. While younger family members’ opinions are considered secondary, women’s closest friendships often come from within the family, and one child often remains in the family home to care for parents and grandparents. Filipino society expects children to take care of their parents as a form of utang na loob (debt of gratitude), often placing pressure on children, especially the eldest, to prioritize family obligations over personal dreams. Gender roles in Filipino families are intertwined with the concept of filial piety, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the collective face of the family and observing duties and responsibilities to respect others.

Traditional Filipino Family Values

Filipino families, deeply rooted in traditional values and strong kinship bonds, form the cornerstone of social life and cultural identity in the Philippines. These traditional family values are deeply ingrained in Filipino society, shaping the way families interact and function.

Here are some key aspects of traditional Filipino family values:

• Collective Responsibility : Members uphold duties and responsibilities to maintain the collective face of the family.
• Multigenerational Living : Three generations often reside together, with older family members playing vital roles in the upbringing of children.
• Matriarchal Influence : While often perceived as patriarchal, significant female influence is notable, with women holding senior positions in various aspects of society.
• Emphasis on Marriage and Courtship : Marriage is highly regarded, with courtship preceding it, and family approval being of great significance in choosing a life partner.

Dynamics of Filipino Dating and Marriage

In the realm of Filipino dating and marriage, the intertwining of traditional courtship rituals and family involvement creates a unique and culturally significant dynamic. The importance of family relationships and the care of their children place high regard in Filipino society.

When it comes to dating, individuals seek the approval and guidance of their families, ensuring that the union aligns with the collective well-being of the family. Marriage is a significant milestone, and the involvement of both families is expected. The concept of ‘Pakikisama’ or getting along harmoniously is valued, and individuals often prioritize maintaining harmony within their families.

Furthermore, the idea of debt to one’s parents is prevalent, where members of the family are expected to take care of their parents in their old age as a sign of gratitude for raising them.

Influence of Filial Piety

Amidst the fabric of Filipino society, the influence of filial piety permeates familial relationships and shapes cultural norms, emphasizing the reverence and care for elders while maintaining the collective face of the family.

• Respect and Obedience: Younger family members are expected to defer to the opinions of their elders and observe duties and responsibilities, showing respect to others.
• Collective Well-being: Decision-making within the family prioritizes the collective well-being over individual autonomy, reflecting the influence of filial piety.
• Elders’ Role: In Filipino households, elders play a significant role in the upbringing of children, and the first-born often carries the responsibility of setting an example for their younger siblings.
• Challenges and Sacrifices: The influence of filial piety can lead to feelings of pressure, sacrifice, and difficulty in addressing conflicts directly, while also fostering a strong sense of debt and obligation to the family.

Filipino Culture

Philippines

Family is considered to be the foundation of social life for most Filipinos. The nuclear family is the core family unit, however bonds are often tight knit among extended family members. Indeed, people may be encouraged to have a relationship with their aunts and uncles that is just as strong as the relationship with their parents. Close familial relationships often go beyond one’s genetic connections or bloodlines to incorporate distant relatives, close neighbours or friends. For example, it is common to hear people refer to distant relatives or non-relatives with familial terms such as ‘tita’ (aunt), ‘tito’ (uncle), ‘lola’ (grandmother) and ‘lolo’ (grandfather). One instance is when a grandchild refers to their grandparent’s friend or cousin as lola or lolo.

Filial Piety

Filial piety is an important concept in Filipino culture. It is understood as essential in order to maintain the collective face of the family and to avoid experiencing hiya (see Social Interactions and Hiya in Core Concepts ). Many Filipinos hold the belief that each family member has several duties and responsibilities they must uphold. Observing one’s duties and responsibilities is important in order to correctly respect others and to ensure harmony among family members. For example, family members are required to show respect to their elders at all times. The opinions of younger family members’ and children’s opinions are considered to be secondary to their superior. Moreover, those requiring age care are nearly always taken care of by their children or grandchildren.

Household Structure and Transnational Families

In a Filipino household, it is common to find three generations living together. Often, grandparents play a large role in raising their grandchildren. Extended family will often live relatively close to one another and will come together during large celebrations. It is common to find families in the Philippines that have some members who return to their family home during weekends after spending a week in major cities for work or study.

Since the 1970s, the Philippines has been exporting labour abroad, with some members engaging in paid labour abroad while many remain in their home town or village. This means that many Filipino families are spread across the world. Filipino society has widely adapted to the change in family structure. Some parents will leave their child in the Philippines in order to seek labour abroad to better support their family left behind. In turn, they will send back remittances to their parents or siblings who have been given the duty of caring for the child. It is also common to find aunts, uncles and godparents taking care of their nieces, nephews or godchildren, by sending remittances back to the Philippines in order to pay for their education.

Those living abroad with left behind families will attempt to see their family once a year by returning home to the Philippines during their break from work in another country. This can be particularly difficult for those with children or elderly parents in the Philippines. In order to support their families in the Philippines, Filipinos abroad will send a ‘balikbayan box’ , containing various items such as clothing, household objects and gifts for their family. In the Australian context, it can be quite emotionally distressing for some Filipinos in intercultural marriages to be denied the opportunity to send remittances home or unable to visit their family, as they feel they are failing to uphold their duty towards their family.

Gender Roles

At times, Filipino society is tagged as patriarchal. This is in part due to machismo attitudes and the masculine standards of many Filipino men. However, the Philippines is closer to exhibiting a matriarchal society. The female influence is significant throughout the country, with many women holding senior roles throughout business and the government. In the household structure, it is often a matriarch in charge. Generally, the head of the household is usually the oldest female, often the grandmother (lola) . Income from family members are often pooled together, then the matriarch will look after the family finances.

Dating and Marriage

In the Philippines, dating often comes in stages, beginning with courtship. Typically, a man will try to impress a female by courting her. If the woman considers the man to be a good suitor, they will continue dating. Individuals have a significant level of freedom in terms of choosing marriage partners, although the choice of a spouse may be influenced by the preferences of the family. In some families, it is expected for the prospective partner to gain approval of their potential in-laws. However, in urban areas, dating and marriage practices tend to be less conservative and are becoming more influenced by the West.

Expectations and practices of marriage are heavily shaped by the Catholic Church. Marriage is understood as a milestone and it is expected that individuals will one day marry a suitable partner. Having children out of wedlock is generally frowned upon in Filipino society. Thus, many couples will marry prior to giving birth to their child to avoid social repercussions. Monogamy is the norm and divorce is both socially stigmatised and illegal. However, views on marriage are changing. For example, there is now more acceptance of a person’s choice to remain single if they wish to be so.

Tagalog Familial Relation Words | Tito (Uncle), Tita (Aunt), and the Rest of the Gang

The family is central to Filipino culture. You probably have learned this if you’re dating a Filipino or Filipina, or if you have Filipino ancestry. That’s why we came up with this lesson all about Familial Relation words. By this I mean words like: father, mother, uncle, aunt, son and daughter.

These are words which help define the familial relationships between people. If you are an absolute beginner (our Maralita level), you should consider giving it a swing. Why?

Why is learning Tagalog Familial Relation Words Important?

Learning Tagalog familial relation words are super quick wins. Familial relation words are the low hanging fruit of the foreign language learning world. Here are some reasons why this is so:

• There are a whole lot of opportunities to use them. Talking about one family and relatives is quite common.
• They carry a lot of emotional weight. To endear yourself to the object of your affections, one of the fastest ways to her heart is through her family. Instead of calling her mother “Ms. Santos” or just “Hey!” you could call her “ tita ” meaning “aunt” which is perfectly acceptable in Filipino culture and will win you ten brownie points.
• They are easy to learn and hard to mess up. There is no convoluted grammar to use them. You can use them as soon as you learn them – even if it’s the only Tagalog word in the entire English sentence, it would sound perfectly normal, for example “How are doing, tita ?”

Ready for the lesson? Let’s get right to it.

Tagalog Familial Relation Words

Tagalog familial relation words totally rock. We’ll start with English then follow with the Tagalog translation, assuming that you’ll want to learn how to say the English word you have in mind in Tagalog.

Family – Pamilya Clan – Angkan Kinsfolk / Relative – Kamaganak

Example: Isang pamilya kami, kaya gusto naming umupong magkasama. – We’re one family, so we prefer to be seated together. Example: Sa isla na ito lahat sila ay magka-angkan. – On this island they all belong to the same clan. Example: Binigyan niya yung kamaganak niya ng trabaho sa kumpanya niya. – He gave his relative a job in his company.

The word pamilya means family. This word would be used pretty much the same as its counterpart in English. It would typically refer to a nuclear family, but it’s common to have grandparent or another close relative included when you would describe a pamilya . The word angkan would mean clan. It refers to a group of relatives bound by blood relations. Angkan while it connotes some closeness, members of the same angkan can be several degrees of consanguinity separated, such as third or fourth degree cousins. Kamaganak is the loosest term of them all, and perhaps can be better translated as “kinsfolk.”

Spouse – Asawa

Example: May asawa ka na ba? – Do you have a spouse? / Are you married? Example: Kasama ko asawa ko. – I am with my husband/wife. When used in a conversation, Filipino normally just use the word asawa to refer to either the husband or wife. In real life, no one ever says “ asawang lalaki ” and “ asawang babae ” unless you are particularly trying to specify the gender. So if ever you read that in a phrase book or a Tagalog course, just throw out those words from your vocabulary.

Parent – Magulang Father – Ama / Tatay / Itay Mother – Ina / Nanay / Inay

Example: Nakatira ako sa Amerika, pero sa Pilipinas ang magulang ko . – I live in America, but my parents live in the Philippines. Example: Ang pangalan ng ama ko ay Jose. – My father’s name is Jose. Example: Paul, tinatawag ka na ng nanay mo. – Paul, your mom is calling you. Example: Itay, nakita ko yung mga manok sa palayan – Pops, I saw the chickens in the ricefield.

Ama and ina would roughly be equivalent to the words father and mother.

In modern Filipino families, the children commonly call their fathers tatay , papa , or daddy . Mothers are addressed nanay , mama , or mommy . Ama and Ina are rather formal.

However, in formal speech or in written form Ama or Ina would sound appropriate. Tatay and nanay are the most general in tome and are best for everyday conversation. They are probably should be the best used to refer to one’s parents if you aren’t sure which one to use, since they are acceptable in formal speech as well. Itay and inay – while you will still hear these two words still used by some families, they would sound very traditional way to a modern city dweller in Manila.

Son or Daughter – Anak

Example: Lima na ang anak ko. – I already have five children. Example: May anak ka na ba? – Do you have any children?

Some textbook or phrase books would translate “son” as anak na lalaki and “daughter” as anak na babae . Don’t do that. Just like in describing spouses, a native Tagalog speaker would not use these terms unless there is a need to particularly specify the gender. Use the word anak to translate the words “son” and “daughter”.

Remember that the word anak is used in the context of the relationship of a parent to the child. When we are talking about child in the context of the age of a person (young human being), it is termed as sanggol, bata, binatillo, dalagita, binata or dalaga depending on the age.

Uncle – Tito / Tiyo Aunt – Tita / Tiya

Example: Kilala ko ang mamang ‘yan, tito siya ni Frank. – I know that man, he is the uncle of Frank. Example: Puntahan mo si Tiya Maria mo at hingian mo ng bigas – Go to your Auntie Maria and ask for some rice.

Tito, tita, tiyo, tiya came straight from the Tagalog Hispanic past as Tagalog loan words. You will probably use these familial relationship words more often than others. Not only do you refer to your real uncles and aunts as tito or tita , it’s polite to refer to anyone around a generation older than you (roughly 10 to 20 years older) using these terms. Tagalog is not alone in this though, as this is common in a lot of Asian cultures.

Sibling – Kapatid

Example: Magkapatid si Paul and Frank. – Paula and Frank are siblings. Example: Lima kaming magkapatid. – There are five of us siblings (in the family).

Elder brother – kuya Elder sister – ate Eldest child/sibling or firstborn – panganay Youngest child/sibling – bunso

Just like the usage of asawa for spouse and anak for child, we only use kapatid in conversations when referring to younger siblings.  If you see brother (or younger brother) translated as anak na lalaki and sister (or younger sister) translated as anak na babae in a phrasebook or textbook, turn away and run. No one ever uses these to refer to their siblings without context, unless there was the intention to specify their gender.

As a term of endearment, some Filipino families call their youngest child or sibling bunso , just like in the following sentence: Example: Bunso, kumain ka na ba? – Youngest, have you eaten already?

We don’t use panganay in the same way.

Grandfather – lolo Grandmother – lola

Example: Lumaban ang lolo ko sa gera. – My grandfather fought in the war. Example: Mahilig ang lola ko kumain ng gulay. – My grandmother likes eating vegetables.

Use lolo and lola for grandfather and grandmother. Just like in tito and tita , they can also be used respectfully for those of grandfatherly or grandmotherlybage.

Talk Tagalog Tip: In the Filipino culture, it is unusual and rude to call an older person by first name alone. You may want to add the words Kuya/Ate, Tito/Tita, Lolo/Lola before the first name. For example: For someone five years older than you

More in the making: There are several other interesting familial relationship words which you will use a lot less often such as bayaw and manugang . We’ll add them to this article if you request us to. You just have to request us too and we’ll add them. No kidding, just ask us too at the contact page .

Home ⇛ philosophia: international journal of philosophy ⇛ vol. 21 no. special edition (2020), the filipino family in the formation of values in the light of john paul ii’s familiaris consortio.

Ivan Efreaim A. Gozum

Through time, Filipinos highly value their own respective families. A sense of pride is instilled in them each time they talk about their own families. Filipino family values of close family ties, solidarity, religiosity, respect, and affection for the aged have always been the reasons why the Filipino family is considered exemplary. However, today, modernization has impacted the way people perceive their own families. The different effects which modernization has engendered shaped the minds of different individuals. Due to these effects, society has been affected, involving the family, which is the basic unit of society. Some of the effects of modernization on the family are the increasing number of cases of broken families, cases of divorce, annulment, and the improper formation of children. This paper aims to look at this situation of the Filipino family in the light of John Paul II’s Familiaris Consortio. Moreover, the paper aims to provide a perspective on how one must look into the family in order to preserve its sanctity. It promotes the importance of the family in the formation of an individual to become morally upright citizens. The issues that modernization engendered will be dealt with using the concepts found in the Familiaris Consortio.

At FilipinoPod101, we know how important family is. Therefore, we take care to teach you all the important vocabulary and phrases pertaining to family.

1. Why Is It Important to Know Filipino Vocabulary about Family?

Well, if you’re serious about studying any new language, then learning about the most important social unit in Filipino culture would be a crucial part of your education.

What is family , though? Strictly speaking, it’s a group of people who live together and are supposed to take care of one another. Some of them are genetically linked.

Family isn’t just about who we’re related to by blood, of course. It’s also one of the main influences in shaping every child’s life.

Family is Important for Children’s Healthy Development

Family is the single most important influence in a child’s life. Children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs from the day they were born.

Primary caregivers, which usually comprise parents and family, form a child’s first relationships. They are a child’s first teachers and are role models that show kids how to act and experience the world around them.

By nurturing and teaching children during their early years, families play an important role in making sure children are ready to learn when they enter school.

Families Can Take All Shapes and Sizes

However, the way families are put together is by no means standard.

Single-parent and same-gender households have become a new norm the past few decades, and there’s no shame in this. When there is love, connection and proper care, a child can thrive anywhere.

Everyone also knows that sometimes friends can become like family and remain with us for life, because it’s all about human connection.

After all, we share many commonalities simply because we’re human, and we are programmed to connect with one another and belong to a group. This is very important for our well-being and survival.

It’s All About Feeling Connected

As John Northman, a psychologist from Buffalo, NY, told WebMD – feeling connected to others contributes to mental as well as physical health.

He pointed out that when people feel connected, they feel better physically, and they’re also less likely to feel depressed.

Or, if they do feel depressed, they’d be in a better position to get out of it when they feel they are connecting with others. This is because they would be psychologically supported too, Northman said.

There has even been some links drawn between addiction and feeling disconnected from others. According to an article in Psychology Today , research indicates that addiction is not solely a substance disorder, but also affected by people feeling insecurely attached to others.

It showed that securely attached individuals tend to feel comfortable in and enjoy life, while insecurely attached people typically struggle to fit in and connect.

2. Learn a New Culture? Learn its Family Vocab first

So, it’s clear that for most of us, family is our entry point into connection and belonging. This is true of every culture, so in every country, family takes prominence.

BAKIT MAHALAGA ANG PAMILYA – Sa paksang ito, ating pag-aaralan kung ano nga ba ang kahalagahan ng ating mga pamilya.

Masasabi natin na ang pamilya ang isa sa pinakamahalagang parte ng ating lipunan. Sapagkat, ang ating pamilya ang pinakamagandang regalo ng Panginoon, ganun din tayo sa kanila. Dito natin malalaman at mararamdaman ang tinatawag na tunay na pag-ibig.

Dahil sa ating pamilya, natututo tayong magtulungan, mag respeto, at magkaisa. Bukod rito, nararamdaman natin ang pagiging ligtas kasama ang ating pamilya.

Ang ating pamilya ay nagbibigay sa atin ng pagmamahal na walang pasubali. Kahit anong kamalian natin, mapapatawad tayo ng ating pamilya. Isa rin sa mga dahilan kung bakit mahalaga ang ating pamilya ay seguridad at proteksyon na binibigay nila sa atin.

Ang ating pamilya rin ang una nating paaralan. Dito tayo natututo ng mga magagandang asal, pagmamalasakit sa kapwa, at pagmamahal sa Diyos. Sila rin ang ating gabay tuwing tayo ay nawawala sa ating landas.

At higit sa lahat, mahalaga ang dahil sila ang buhay mo at sila ang nagbibigay ng buhay sa iyo. Kung wala ang pamilya mo, wala ka sa kinatatayuan mo ngayon. Kaya nararapat na bigyang halaga ang pamilya dahil sila ang mga kasama mo sa lahat ng mararansan mo sa buhay.
