what make a Filipino a genuine Filipino ?​

Answer:

The thought of being “genuinely Filipino” is just a concept to unite various peoples under the nation of the Philippines. You are a Filipino if you are born in the country, most especially if your parents are of Filipino citizenship

Answer:

1. Hospitable

•This is one of the most popular qualities of Filipinos. Foreigners who have gone to the Philippines find themselves falling in love with the warm hospitality they are shown. It's a different kind of value system, which has existed for thousands of years. Here are some examples of the hospitality that Filipinos show, not only to foreigners, but also to their fellow citizens:

•When a person visits a friend's house, the host greets him or her with a very warm welcome. The host will immediately let their visitor sit down and will prepare a meal or a snack plus drinks for the visitor. The host will insist that the friend not leave the house with an empty stomach. A host will always make sure you had a great time visiting them.

People offer their guest room to visitors if they're going to spend the night.

•Meals offered to guests are very special. A host always finds a way to prepare great tasting food that her visitor wants to eat.

2. Respect and Courtesy

•This is often observed—not just by younger people—but also by people of all ages.

•Children respect elders by saying "po" and "opo," which mean "yes," when answering their elders.

•Children or young adults also show respect by putting their elders' hands on their foreheads.

Filipinos also show respect at work by making a bow to their employers.

3. Strong Family Ties and Religions

•Yes. Filipinos value their families so much that they tend to keep families intact through the generations.

•Families go to church and pray together because their religion is important and creates a strong bond, marking God as the center of their lives.

•Families make sure to have quality time together especially after a day's work. Just watching television or eating a family meal will be valued and prioritized in everybody's schedules.

4. Generosity and Helpfulness

•Filipinos are generous people. Even when we have very little, we always share with those around us.

•During special occasions such as birthdays or "fiestas" —parties when people from other places visit your home to celebrate with you—there are lots of foods specially prepared for everyone! Friends, family, friends of friends, and even strangers can gather and they are always willing to share food and help out.

When a neighbor is in trouble, Filipinos are always ready to help them.
