  1. Truly, I can say that every country has it's own sayings, and with it, we may come to a conclusion on what are the traits and values of its citizen.
    With the Filipino sayings, I can say that it is the complete reflection of us because it is something we grown up listening and following. I'm grateful that we have this that we could use as a guide in our lives.
