We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers

Questions

1.       If ever you have the chance to talk to an American, what best feature about Filipinos will you tell him?

Answer:

 For me, one of the best trait of Filipinos is being family-oriented. When our parents grew older we take care of them. Whatever happens, wherever we are and what we are doing, always, we searched for our family’s presence. We reminisce those elusive moments we have shared together with our family, which just shows how family truly matters to every Filipino.

The How’s, What If’s and If ever’s:

1.            How are Filipinos portrayed in the story? What certain characteristics of Filipinos are present in the character of the farmer?

Answer:
Filipinos were portrayed by the farmer as humble and hospitable. Even he can drink tons of alcohol still, he insist that he is a mild drinker. Also, the way the farmer accommodated Joe only shows how welcoming and friendly we are in our visitors.

2.            What if an American invites you to drink but of his choice, would you join him?

Answer:
Well, since I don’t drink, I will refuse him politely. I will still stay and talk to him but I won’t drink. And if he passed out because he have consumed too much alcohol, I’ll be willing to help him and bring him home safely.

3.            Do you believe that Filipinos are mild drinkers?

Answer:
Honestly, I don’t think so. I have seen a group of people drinking two cases of alcoholic beverages yet they were still not too drunk. I also heard that lambanog is a strong one yet many people can drink countless bottles of it.

4.            Do you agree that there should be an ordinance/ law about drinking liquor? Why or why not?

Answer:
Yes, many people forget their limits. They were too reckless and unstoppable when the spirit of alcohol hit them. They can’t think straight and don’t behave well. That’s why some people commit their most regretful moments while they drunk.

5.            If ever you were to decide on what age are Filipinos allowed to drink liquor, how old should he be? Explain your answer.  

Answer:

I think Filipinos should drink at the age of 20. Eighteen is just too young for me, they’re still teenagers at 18 so they want to explore more. Also, I feel like at 20, people are more mature and can handle things better than at the age of 18.
