The bayanihan spririt pervades among the tagalogs. This spirit is best shown during their wake for dead.
In Marikina, Metro Manila right after a person breathes his last, his neighbors would build a shed of canvas or split bamboo in his yard or on the street fronting his home, and put long wooden benches for all condolers. Throughout the several days of the wake, those who stay with the family of the deceased are served lunch. In the evening, they are served coffee, rice cakes or sandwiches. The immediate family members of the deceased do not do anything during this time.

About Dating
Women during the Spanish regime were generally shy, refined and inhibited. Their behavior was strictly monitored by the family to maintain their good reputation. A girl was not seen alone with a man; he did not touch them, not even her hands when talking to each other they were always an arm's length apart. A man got to know a woman only by being a friend of the woman's trusted friend who would help in case he wanted to have the opportunity to see the girl of his dreams. He did not directly approach the woman; that was impolite. On the other hand, the woman did not face a man alone; to exchange glances with the man was unbecoming.
