‘‘determination and risk-
taking’’
//- they are telling themselves that they are ready to face the difficult situation before them, and will do their best to achieve their objectives.

This has made the sharpening of pakikiramdam (shared inner perception) a particularly desirable skill in many situations involving Filipino social interaction.
indirect communication

-refers to honor which is physical, such as that bestowed through compliments or applauses for a
good performance, thus external. -It can also refer to virginity which is a virtue expected of unmarried
Filipino women.
