Learn about new culture as Filipino

During one month living in the Philippines and interacting with the local people, me and many other participants of sea-theacher learned about the culture of Philippines, although we have not yet learned it all. From this program made by seameo, we understand that countries that are members of the United Nations active since 1945 are very concerned about many small things in their daily lives. Like some things I can mention on my site, 

1. Buwan Ng Wika (The Month of Language) is a Filipino festival held during the month of August. This is the extended Sunday Language celebration which was extended on January 15, 1997 through Proclamation No. 1041 of former President Fidel V. Ramos. The Language Month is usually celebrated in schools. In this regard, many events are held to celebrate, such as the simultaneous pronunciation, poetry, slogan creation, essay recitation of poems, dancing of folk dancing and singing of folk songs. There is no single language spoken in the Philippine Archipelago when the Spaniards arrived. There are three main languages ​​spoken in the archipelago, Kapampangan, Ilokano, and Cebuano. Because Filipino languages ​​are interrelated and understandable by the natives, the most speakers of the lesser language speak two or more languages.

2. Traditional games, where traditional Filipino games also have much in common with traditional Indonesian games.


3. Like Indonesian culture Filipinos also respect respect for older people. There is a behavior that must be shown when meeting older people, like shaking hands.


4. In the culture of Filipino pedestrians savety are the main concern, we will often see many vehicles that are willing to stop for someone who wants to crossing road. This may be a little different when we compared to a small number of regions in Indonesia that still need to build concern for other road users.


5. In serve guests like Indonesian culture filipino will not spread guests to help wash dishes during meals. They believe that if guests wash dishes at a meal, then one family member will go far and will not rcome back. This if we observe with philosophys perspective , there is a deep meaning. It's illustrated how Filipinos are all out in treating their guests. In the other side their bond with their family is so strong. Like in Indonesia right?



6. Other Filipino cultures are high discipline. As we feel in our teaching activities in each school. Discipline is something that is upheld in all aspects, resulting in achievements that are not only good. But it's must be perfect.


7. They are very appreciative of differences, like many of us feel when in public places. At school, traditional markets, super malls, several markets in Urdaneta, Bayambang Balon, and many other public places. They thought that we were native Filipinos as well, because our faces were almost the same as most Filipino faces. After we said that we are Indonesian citizens they were welcoming us and giving very friendly service. We feel like home.


8. Last but not least, filipino  really like to sing and dance, not only in certain activities or events, in daily life  they are oftentimes do it as a substitute for sports and entertainment.



You certainly know that this is only a small part of Filipino culture. I hope that this information can be useful for the readers, so I am passionate about continuing to study the Philippines culture and improve this blog (by going to the Philippines again, for example), hihi. Oh Philippines, I miss you.

Teaching Practice

Procedures of Teaching asking pupils In the beginning, I will aks pupils to do singing or doing a clap for make them enjoy in the learning, and then I will review the lesson to makae sure pupils understanding their lesson on last meeting . After that, I will give some motivation to pupils, like give them pictures or something interesting to make pupils curiously. And after that teacher will do question-answering until pupils understand and they can guess topic of lesson.

Break Up means.. Pernah banget ga sii dicurhatin temen masalah perpacarannya alias cinta monzeet. Haha .. its oftentimes terjadi, padahal mereka tau aku belum pernah ngerasain gimana jadi someone di posisi mereka, dan dihadapkan dengan yang nama “break up” (classic ini alesan, bcz aku tipical orang yang gak selutip, bisanya CUMA jadi pendengar yang baik. Iya denger terus iya iya aja) pict source by freepik Dari mereka, what I learn from break up is to be with or without someone is a choice. Banyak yang setelah perkelahian panjang atau even nothing happened akhirnya mengambil keputusan berupa “putus” (di situ saya mengucap Alhamdulillah *eh). pict source by freepik Banyak yang akhirnya meraung-raung (she isn’t a lion right?) sedih berkepanjangan, ga mau makan terus drama sakit berharap si aa’ bisa menoleh ke dia dan balikan lagih.  Klasik masalahnya bisa karena diselingkuhin-lah feelings fade lah dan banyak. But.. if someone choose to be without you then, you c...
