Filipinos believe that even the hardest things can be made easy when people work together. Although it served as an icon of this value through the years, the essence of bayanihan doesn’t revolve around the thought of having to carry a bahay-kubo with others. Even in simple ways, we can be a hero or bayani whenever we go out of our way and help our community.  </p><div paraeid="{5e3ea98a-0714-410b-b8b0-48da8dd0ec95}{66}" paraid="24"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="391" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7PDsjaIZmpI" title="Bayanihan | Knowledge Factory" width="695"></iframe> </div><div lang="EN-US" paraeid="{9dd3a1a6-8a3c-4170-a3d5-3036644ac990}{131}" paraid="505160104" xml:lang="EN-US"> </div><div lang="EN-US" paraeid="{9dd3a1a6-8a3c-4170-a3d5-3036644ac990}{131}" paraid="505160104" xml:lang="EN-US"><strong>5.

We usually find ways to make use of what we have instead of spending a lot. Being able to adjust on situations is an important skill that can take you places. Looking for an activity to do with your kids to practice resourcefulness?
