Cebuano culture places a strong emphasis on family and relationships. Families are considered the foundation of society, and the bonds between family members are highly valued. It is common for extended families to live together or in close proximity, creating a sense of unity and support.
b) Mother


In Cebuano culture, the concept of "utang na loob" or gratitude plays a significant role in relationships. It is expected that children show respect and gratitude towards their parents and elders. This cultural value is reflected in the language, where specific terms are used to address older relatives and people in positions of authority.
c) Sister


Another interesting aspect of Cebuano culture is the importance of "padayon" or moving forward. Cebuanos are known for their resilience and determination to overcome challenges. This mindset is deeply ingrained in the language and can be seen in various expressions and idioms.
