There is always a right time and right place of every thing in the world.
Like other countries, Philippines has a lot of Dos and Don't s . I am proud that my blood running though my veins is full blood of a so-called Filipino. There are many Filipinos around the world who are hiding under skin particularly BROWN-WHITE AMERICAN CARABAO. They pretend not to eat pakbet, bagoong (anchovies), bituka ng baboy (pig's intestines, isaw (BB-Qchicken intestine, and eat barehanded.
Eat barehanded is one of Filipinos culture. They eat with the use of their - the food is move delicious if they eat with the use of their hands, of course they need to wash their very carefully to prevent intestinal problems. Table manner is part of the culture and tradition in the Philippines. In my family we have a lot of table manners such as:
1. Do not talk if the mouth is full.
2. Do not talk so much while in the middle of a meal.
3. Do not take lean on the table.
4. Do not eat thing aside from the food on the table.
5. Do not place your face between your two palm.
6. Do not laugh so loud.
7. Do not play while eating. (except for toddlers)
8. Make sure to avoid dropping of any utensils.
9. DO not stand and rich the food you want from the other side. Let somebody pass it to you.
10. Do not smoke in front of the table.
11. DO NOT TALK TOO MUCH IN FRONT OF THE TABLE
12. Do not eat like a pig.
13. DO not ever ever forget to say THANK YOU for the very nutritious
14. No money on top of the table if the food is ready.
15. No other things on top of the table aside from the food.
With all this dos and don't s I am used to, I had a great culture when I step in another beautiful land.
What I have observed.
1. People talk even the mouth is full.
2. People play in front of the food.
3. People smoke if their friends are eating.
4. People drink beer, wine, and gin while eating.
5. People spit on the table.
6. Children butt in if elders are talking.
7. People talk so loud while eating. Sounds like they are fighting.
8. People can just blow their nose in front of the great meal without saying EXCUSE.
9. People just yawn in front of the great meal.
10. People just cough nor sneeze in front of the meal without saying EXCUSE even there are people eating beside them.
11. THEY EAT LIKE A PIG.
There is only one place where we have a great food - TABLE. We should have the so-called TABLE MANNER as respect to what we have on top Of the table and it is not about culture nor tradition. It is all about SELF DISCIPLINE.
Every place has it own identity. Will you be happy if your country is known worldwide with all the negative description you it has? If not, then do something. AGAIN, It is not about race,color, culture or tradition. IT IS ALL ABOUT SELF- DISCIPLE.
