Filipino Value: Caring for the elderly

One good thing about us Filipinos is the way we treat our elderly relatives. Unlike people from other countries who place their elders in a nursing home, we take care of our old relatives. I have no problem about nursing homes but I believe that taking care of our elderly is our way of repaying all their hardships in raising us. Some even leave their jobs in order to focus full-time on taking care of our parents/grandparents. Others also take nursing assistant/caregiver courses when their old relatives get sick so that they are better equipped in caring for them.
