Religious

Filipinos are the same as other people around the world. Those who are poor and ethical know that there is an external power that is at work in the world. When one is poor or lacking in a particular attribute, one knows that there is always hope that the situation can change.

When there is no one else to turn to, one finally turns to his God. It is possible that one's God will intervene and provide the solution to an intolerable situation. While many people in better circumstances will scoff at the idea that there is a God and that He is interested in the affairs of the world, the poor know that this is so; they have no other option than to know that God watches.

So if you think that a particular person is too religious, consider that the person has proven this thesis to himself. Miracles happen and the less fortunate know that such miracles are not made by man. When one has faith, one knows beyond a doubt that the faith is tested and rewarded by a higher power. Love for this higher power will manifest itself as "being too religious." S/he will do the acts of his/her religion as an act of love, faith, and duty. People of faith in all countries do this, not just Filipinos.

Also because we are partial Asian and partial Spanish and if Ur either of those categories you know that if u say you don't wanna go to church Ur gonna get Ur butt kicked. and both combined into one Filipino and a double whammy on the punishment.
