Just for example, the Filipino's moral strength like pakikipag-kapwa tao, Filipinos are known to become an open to others and feel one with others. Filipinos are regard others with dignity and respect to others but Filipino nowadays are losing the basic sense of justice and fairness because they intend to put themselves first before the sake of others.
