D. In the communitarian practice called Bayanihan, people with strong leadership skills play center – stage in motivating other members to participate
The Filipino cultural orientation is supported by shared values which function as the basis of shared behavior common to most Filipinos. Values have reference to standards people use
for evaluating what is right or wrong, good or evil. Values are
related to norms which are rules of conduct specific to given social situations.
The Filipinos have two sets of paradoxical traits and patterns of relationship that are imbued by his culture. The first set is
the highly structured and authoritarian familial set-up where roles are prescribed especially for younger members of the family. This is characterized by autocratic leadership of the
elder-members, submitting one’s self to the decision of the family elders, and almost one-way communication in the pecking order. The second set of social relationship that the
Filipino has, which ironically exists side by side with the highly structured set-up, is the strong communitarian practice called
"Bayanihan" which literally means "being a hero." This practice ignores social ranking, structures, leadership roles and authority relationships. The roles in the structured set-up
mentioned earlier cease to exist. Surprisingly, the Filipino is at home with both cultural practices in his social life. He shifts from one setting to another with unbelievable ease and grace. In the first set up, there is no way that a child can lead the elders in any form of decision-making. In the Bayanihan set-up, however, if a child proves that he has the right qualification needed for the task, he may lead the elders, not excluding his father and elder brother
