Filipino Millennial Mindset

Show Notes

Episode 30. Filipinos tend to be people pleasers. Most avoid confrontation and don't like letting other people down. Filipinos refrain from asking questions or NOT seek clarification on certain instructions out of politeness, even if they don't fully understand everything. This is what mostly leads to mistake. Our desire to "please" will be our own downfall.
