The way Filipinos live has been shaped by food. Apart from the cuisine, there are precious memories made with whomever they're with, which adds to the experience. Food brings strangers, friends, and even families together (regardless of lifestyle differences). This can be seen during occasions such as birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or even a casual get-together. This is a prevalent value among Asians, but Filipinos take it to a whole new level. When you buy an ice-cold beer at a convenience store. People will approach you without hesitation and invite you to a table of pulutan (little portions of food) and buckets of alcohol.

       Filipinos are inherently warm and welcoming. During fiestas, they even invite strangers to dine with them in their humble abode. This custom may also serve as a social status symbol. Alongside your plate will be golden cookware and cutlery, as well as meals whose recipes have been passed down through generations. The hosts would even give you food to take home after the party. A modest act like this demonstrates that some things are beyond the reach of money.
