One of that is the amazing characteristics of Filipinos.To the north of the Philippines across the Luzon Strait lies Taiwan; Vietnam sits west across the South China Sea; southwest is the island of Borneo across the Sulu Sea, and to the south the Celebes Sea separates it from other islands of Indonesia; while to the east it is bounded by the Philippine Sea and the island-nation of Palau. Its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and close to the equator makes the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons, but also endows it with abundant natural resources and some of the world's greatest biodiversity. At approximately 300,000 square kilometers (115,831 sq mi), the Philippines is the 64th-largest country in the world.With a population of about 100 million people, the Philippines is the seventh-most populated country in Asia and the 12th most populated country in the world. An additional 12 million Filipinos live overseas, comprising one of the world's largest diasporas. Multiple ethnicities and cultures are found throughout the islands. In prehistoric times,Negritos were some of the archipelago's earliest inhabitants. They were followed by successive waves of Austronesian peoples. Exchanges with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Islamic states occurred. Then, various nations were established under the rule of Datus, Rajahs, Sultans or Lakans.

Being so hospitality to visitors,is one a million good characteristics of Filipino. You can tell how they trait tourist and visitors from other country. Even in a normal home, when there is someone who came, everybody in the family joyfully welcome. It's very nice because of this trait many tourist are encourage to visit the Phillipines. Filipinos are known for being hardworking so because of that many countries in the world want Filipinos as their workers or employee. Many filipinos fly abroad to make a living and to double their earnings than here in the Phillipines. But some countries abuse this kind of mentality of Filipinos and use and treat them like slaves. Some Overseas Filipino Workers are even victims of physical and sexual abuse of foreigners but they still conqure all of this for the sake of their families in the Phillipines, counting on them. Being hardworking of Filipinos are also with being thrifty with everything. Being thrifty are not only in money but also in material things. The thriftiness of Filipinos has a good and bad side. In the good side, Filipinos really don't throw away things that easilly especially those things that can be recycled. Old notebooks, plastic bottles, sacks, tin cans, aven plastics. They are just so creative that they find a way on recycling things.
