Filipino Culture called Bayanihan. It is helping out one’s neighbor as a community, and doing a task together, thus lessening the workload and making the job easier. It is called the community spirit. It is best exhibited when people wish to move locations in the rural area. The traditional filipino house can be moved from the old place to a new location. Afterwards a small gathering as a form of celebration and socialization is prepared by the home owner. #LikeALocal Photo Contest #Helpingoneanother #filipinotradition
