“Bayanihan is a traditional system of mutual assistance in which the members of a community work together to accomplish a difficult task. It is also a spirit of civic unity and cooperation among Filipinos”. –Oxford Dictionary
Each member helps one another for a common goal where each member cannot do on their own. This Filipino trait has existed for a long time in Philippine culture. We see images of Filipinos helping one another move a house from one place to another. In times of calamities, we see Filipinos volunteering or donating with whatever they can to those affected. For those abroad, Filipinos are happy to see and help newly-arrived Filipinos get accustomed to a foreign land. No matter where the Filipinos may be, we can always see the spirit of bayanihan alive.
