Description
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FILIPINO FAMILY in relation to Philippine society and the making of the Filipino cannot be undermined. For the extended family known as the barangay was the only institution that ever existed prior to colonial times. Thus, Philippine society and the Filipino are both rooted in this basic socio-cultural reality from which the positive dimension of our life could evolve. If indeed it is true that there is no life without roots, pride in our roots may lead us to discover what we can contribute to a culture of security --- to be shared in a world culture of justice, peace and integrity of creation.
