BLOGPOST #7: The Filipino Obeying their Traditional Superstition

In our house we have four siblings and my parents salary are sometimes too much but we eat three times a day and it's good for us. But what if we are from a big family and my parents have are not so good salary? Well, this time my blog talks about the obeying traditional superstition of Filipino. How they obey their own superstition, I know most of our superstition are in from the Chinese.

I read the article written by Cecil Abundo titled "Filipino Customs and Traditions" she said, most of the Filipinos are having a unique traits when it comes to our family and it have more cultural values that we have. Our family take care and to being loyal to each of the family member and also elders by obeying their authorities. In addition, Filipinos are having a reunions in any occasions. The Filipino people valued not only our cultivation and superstitions but the spirit of our family.

As I am Filipino I proudly to say that we are blessed to have with a strong family ties, and superstitious beliefs have been grown throughout the country.

According to Cecil Abundo, "Filipino believe that there is nothing to lose if they will comply with these beliefs."

I strongly agree because my family believe that thinking and I adopt it cause their always say that to me. Some of us are not believe that because they know that there's no will be happen if you don't try. The traditions are adopting by the people surrounds you.

According to the article titled "Filipino Superstition about New Year's Eve" by Jane Dacumos for her, she didn't believe in superstition but almost of her family obeying the old superstitions and they believing that there are giving them a luck for there own life, they not contradict that tradition from other country. That's why she obey whatever they say to him because in there mind, they did not lose everything if they try it.

According to Jane Dacumos, "Whether we believe or not in these superstitions, it is more important to have a positive outlook."

I agree because from the author she believe that we decide by our own beliefs. And even if the other country have more superstitions we should not go for or do it, cause for my own perspective that superstitions from the other country will affect to our own traditions and culture.

I conclude that even though there's a lot of superstition from other country we should not change it and obey all of the traditions that we might know from their. For me fear is the main source of superstition that's why I conquer fear is the beginning of my wisdom.
