ACTIVITY 2. Read and analyze the text below. Write its connection to your personal experiences, to your community, or to the world by completing the table below. Bayanihan is a Filipino term referring to the spirit of communal unity and cooperation. It was derived from the word bayan which means nation or community. It became a known trait of the Filipinos and was practiced by Filipinos until now. Bayanihan can be viewed in many forms but, the first thing that comes to the mind of a Filipino when heard this word is the old tradition of people helping a relocating family by setting enough volunteers to carry the house; and literally moving it to its new location. This practice is done by putting bamboo poles length-wise and cross-wise under the house forming a strong frame to lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men (often 20 or more) positioned at the ends of each pole. They do it in a festive mood. When the relocation is done, the moving family hosts a simple fiesta as an expression of gratitude towards their neighbors. Bayanihan is cooperation.
