Top 10 Pinoy Good Habits
74
by: Charles, Calgary Canada
1. Neighbors know each other and talk to each other
2. Baguio City taxi drivers give passengers their change no matter how much the amount is
3. Phone companies do not charge users for incoming calls or SMS
4. The bayanihan spirit is so evident inside the jeepney, where fare is passed from one passenger to the other until it reaches the driver's hand, where change is passed (by passengers) from the drivers hand until it gets to the passenger who's supposed to receive it.
5. Pinoys will not buy new appliances until their old ones are totally beyond repair maximizing the life of electronics and reducing garbage.
6. Military and rebel ceasefire plus zero crime rate during Manny Pacquiao's fight. If only Manny has a boxing match everyday...but that's too much to ask from him.
7. Most Filipinos are bilingual (Filipino + English), at the least (some multilingual, + Chinese, + Japanese, etc.)
8. Overseas Filipino Workers continue to work hard and send money to the Philippines, helping keep the economy afloat
9. We continue to support and be proud of Manny Pacquiao, Efren Bata Reyes, Django Bustamante, Paeng Nepomuceno, Eugenio Torre, Leah Salonga, Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, (add to this list in the comments section)
10. You decide what number ten is. Add your Pinoy good habit/s in the comments section.

Indeed! The response of businesses to the "tingi" buying culture of Filipinos has created a business model that works in the Philippines. Aside from manufacturing companies selling almost everything in sachets, this is also the reason why companies who have taken the sari-sari store business model to the next level have been so successful: 7-11, Ministop, etc.
Respect for elders. The word "po" has no equivalent in any
other language. Sa Amerika you've got to get used to being addressed with your first name by a 1 year old even if you are 99 years old.Yes,one good habit w/c becomes second nature to Pinoys is addressing elders properly and courteously.
pinoyconnection,
#10. Filipinos are very hospitable people. They serve the best to visitors in their house, no matter if they are complete strangers- best food, best beddings for the night, best of everything even to the extent of borrowing money for this visit.
I know it, I'm a Filipino.
#10 Filipinos are very warm people. They love to hug, to hold hands.. they always make people feel special.
"7. Most Filipinos are bilingual (Filipino + English), at the least (some multilingual, + Chinese, + Japanese, etc.)"
- I think this fact allows many (talk about millions) Pinoys to be able to find work overseas and communicate with foreigners so well :)

Great hub, pinoyconnection! You affirm our good side!
What about the "tingi" mode of selling to cater to the low income citizen, as in: tinging asukal, sabon, shampoo, tootpaste...kulang na lang na ilagay sa sachet ang mineral water hehehe....
