I forgot to mention the trait(s) that I like.....what I like and love is optimism and strong faith in God. Facing myriad problems but you'll still find Filipinos laughing and smiling. The belief that no problem is as big as the Lord and that's one reason I guess that keeps many of my fellowmen standing despite of difficulties in life.
I've meet a lot of people who astounded me and at the same time humbled me because of their faith despite of their circumstances. I used to pity myself when I'm in great difficulties but I've meet people who were in far worse condition and yet they still have the time to laugh and be optimistic about their future. I've been with people who from my view need financial help and yet they're the first to offer help to anyone who needs it without asking something in return.
