Difference of Philippine and Japanese culture

[adechan]

Help and please lang po, TF fellows I need your voices and ideas.

I need to have more ideas about this topic, not only from myself, but from others.

What are the differences you see in our culture and the japanese culture?
How do you handle it or relay to it?

What are your particular experiences living here in japan in regards with their culture?

What do you think of japanese new generation and our own country's new generation?

Hi Adechan! :tiphat: Maraming pagkakaiba ang kultura natin sa Hapon. (1) "Greetings" : ang mga Hapon ay yumuyuko; tayong Pilipino ay nakatindig na ngumingiti o nagbebeso-beso. :) :kiss:
(2) Formal Introduction: ang mga Hapon ay nagsasabi ng kanilang apelyido lang sabay bigay ng Business/Calling Card; kalimitan sa mga Pilipino ay sinasabi ang buong pangalan tapos haba ng kwento sa family, educational background o work experiences at kung minsan may kasamang "joke" :D

Marami pa sana akong isusulat pero mahirap ng mag-type ngayong madaling araw. Punta ka na lang sa bahay this week. Ihanda ko na ang Philippine flag, Filipiniana, atbp. :wave:

hi Adechan San:)


ang isa pa sa Difference ng Kulturang Hapon sa Pinas eh ang ss:

* sa Japan bago kumain eh nagsasabi sila ng "Itadakimasu"---- I humbly Receive..at Gochisoo sama deshita----Thanks for the meal , after kumain sa Pinas, we Filipinos usually do a Prayer or nagsisign of the Cross na lang.

* sa Japan "Time is Gold "...shitsurei o kabastusan sa kanila ang hindi pagtupad sa Oras o pagiging Late....sa Pinas hindi lahat may ganitong pananaw o Kanggae may mga taong On time..may mga Late din sa trabaho etc.

*sa Japan pag may namatay, yung Iba naglalagay ng flowers sa "side of the road" o daanang malapt sa kanila...it indicates na may namatay sa bahay na iyon...sa Pinas, may mga flowers din pero usually nasa loob ng bahay o Memorial chapel..at sa labas naman ng bahay ay nakasabit lang ang "Itim na tela" ..yun ang nagIindicate na may namatay sa bahay na iyon...

*sa Japan pag bagong Lipat ka sa isang Lugar o Apartoo eh kailangan mo magdala ng bagay o di kaya pagkain sa lahat ng mga bago mong Kapitbahay ...para kaseng humihingi ka na nga "pasencya" sa mga Inconveniences na maidudulot ng paglilipat at pag-aayos nyo ng gamit.. sa Pinas, minsan nakikipagkilala lang tayo sa bagong kapitbahay....
....madami pa , pero yan nalang muna:)

Talagang malaki ang pinagkaiba sa Pinas at sa Japanese culture......

Mabagal ang ang mga tao sa Pinas at sa Japan naman naku po ang bilis talaga nila parang ari pag sila na ang lumakad.... Sa pinas talagang mabagal ang sistema kahit saan sa Pinas mabagal talaga...

Bigla ko tuloy naala ang asawa ko nung makita ko yung title ng thred mo:) Sabi nya, "Why are there so many half naked men outside?:confused: Their bellies are so big!:eek: " Referring to those men na nagbabasketball ng nakashorts lang. At yung mga lasenggo sa kanto na kala mo kabuwanan na nila. SAbi ko na lang, "coz its hot and humid :D" Wala ka kaing makikitang hapon na nagbe-baseball ng nakashorts lang!

If there is anything i really appreciate here in japan, people, they really do work. At kahit inis na sila, somehow they can manage to fake a smile for you. Isa pa kung naghihintay ka, you can also feel na hindi lang ikaw ang naghihintay, sa atin kasi, merong singit system.:banghead: At ang tradisyon nang matatawag na kotong system!:grrr: Kahit saang govt office hindi mawawalan nyan. isama mo na ang airport, its a miracle na makalusot ka ng hindi ka nauungutan.

When it comes to general politeness and hospitality, i miss japan, whenever i go shopping, anywhere in the world. Lalo na sa pinas, antatamad ng mga saleslady. On the way sa hinahanap mo chichika pa un:gossip:.

Pero sa pinas naman, atleast people care:mushy:. madapa ka, me dadampot sayo . Dito people dont care much. People pretty much keep to themselves which kinda make this country a little too lonely :cry: for foreigners to live in.
Yun lang sa atin me pagkaover osyoso naman. :peepwall:

thank you for the feedbacks

[hayaren]

adechan I'll base from my own personal experience


-tayo mga pinoy nagmamano tayo or kiss sa mga magulang, elders, kapatid whosoever close to us pero mga japanese they don't do this....

-prior to my marriage an engagement party was set in the way, none of my Father in law's side were allowed to see me way ahead though invitation to the engagement party was already circulated, the reason behind was everything should be formal and official in introducing the wife of the first son in the family....sa Pinas meron ba tayo nito?

Sa tatlong buwan kong stay dito sa Japan, marami akong napansing pagkakaiba. Ilan lang ito:

1. Joke - kalahati ng sinasabi ng pinoy ay may halong joke. At hirapang hirapang intindihin nila na paano yun naging joke kung seryoso ang mga mukha natin. We love to smile and to laugh at all times; while they need to have a reason to do so.

2. Formal occassions - nakaatend na ako ng funeral ng hapon, lahat sila seryoso at bawal ngumiti. Eh, ang pinoy kahit sa harap ng patay, kayang magjoke. Hirapan akong magserious nun dahil naiisip ko ang kapitbahay namin nung namatay ang nanay niya. Sa sobrang iyak niya, nahulog siya sa bangko at lahat nang taong andun ay tinawanan siya, maliban na lamang dun sa patay :D

Nung kasal nang friend kong haponesa, hindi man lamang niya inilabas ang ngipin nya sa lahat ng pictures kasi formal daw yung occassion. Para tuloy masama ang loob niya nung kinakasal siya.

3. Time - late sa atin pag after 30 mins na naghihintay. Ang late sa kanila, 2 minutes.

4. Work and Family - Japanese prioritize work because of family. Pinoy prioritize the family that he can change his job anyway he pleases. Pinoys can compromise loyalty on job to get a better chance of life. Mas family oriented ang pinoy.

One thing I learned from shacho, japanese can enjoy pension benefits after rendering some years in the company, even if you already resigned from them. You can enjoy that benefit after, lets say, at the age of 60 or 70. We dont have this in pinas. Some resigned from companies in the Philippines after 5 or 6 years of service without the pension/termination pay.

5. Japanese are "terrified" of the english speaking people. They dont want to be asked in English because they will say that they are bad in it. But they are very helpful and will converse with you in very easy nihongo, so that you can understand them.

6. They are not ashamed to get their hands dirty. We have Mizuno san, obaachan aged 78 as our "kaisha keeper" -- she does the cleaning of the whole building.

7. Body Language - ang watashi sa hapon, nakaturo sa ilong; sa pinoy, sa dibdib. Ang pinoy pag tumuturo ng direksyon, ginagamit ang nguso. Pag nakikipag usap sila sa telepono, nagbabago ang boses nila, tumataas ng ilang note sa mga haponesa.:p

8. They don't test nor blame the government. They are taught to obey the laws at an early age. They dont like talking about politics, government, and religion. They like to talk about work, entertainment, and sports. Whereas, halos lahat ng sama ng loob natin sa buhay, ibeblame ang gobyerno.

10. They are very honest. You can leave your wallet in the street and come back for it.

11. They have many gods. When you ask them why, they cannot even explain why.

12. They have national/social awareness, theirs being japanese are rooted in their hearts. Whereas, pinoys found their own national identity...sometimes when in a foreign land.

13. Iba ang CR nila sa atin heheh. Naliligo sila ng bold ksama ang bata, dalaga, matanda sa onsen habang tayo, hirapang magbathing suit kahit kasama ang kaibigan.

14. Simpleng pomorma ang pinay - t-shirt at jeans. Sila, di ko maintindihan. :D

15. Students go to school 7 days a week. (if i am not mistaken, I had seen students in saturdays and sundays)

16. They have japanese passports that can take them to any country in the world.

17. May jidouhambaiki (vendome machine), kahit sa gitna ng palayan heheh.

18. Walang padyak, tricycle at jeep dito! Pero merong densha, bus at bike.

Eto po, sensya na marami akong naisip heheh. :O

thanks friend, I was deeply pondering over if this practice is widely done sa mga Hapon. Sa family ng hubby ko, my Father in-law did explained it to me nga dahil their clan is very prominent sa Tokyo formality should take place and that all their kins should acknowledge the blessing he bestowed to his son.

ang differences ng culture

sa japan bago matulog at gumising nagsasabi ng oyasumi nasai/ohayo gozaimasu
sa pinas hindi yata uso ang ganun.

sa japan-matamaan mo lang nag sosorry kaagad
sa pinas- bihira lang ang mag sorry pag natatamaan mo.

sa japan- time is gold at mabilis ang kilos
sa pinas- lahat na late ang mga tao

sa japan -bago kumain nagsasabi ng ittadaikimasu at pagkatapos gochio sama deshita
sa pinas -wala yata ganun

sa japan-pagnanood ka ng sine talagang may oras batch-batch ba
sa pinas -ang sine pwede ulitin ng 3 beses at kahit ano oras ok pumasok

sa japan -malinis sila sa basura
sa pinas sobrang dami ng basura

yon lang muna sharte ko:D
