    The document discusses traditional Filipino beliefs regarding health and curing illnesses. Some beliefs include that showing affection to a baby can cause "usog" or illness, spreading salt around the home can ward off sickness, and stepping over a child can stunt their growth. While many Filipinos still follow these traditions, there is no scientific evidence that they are effective. The beliefs can interfere with how Filipinos cope with illness if they rely solely on these practices rather than seeking medical help.

    Answer these questions:

    How do Filipinos react to these Traditional Beliefs?

     Many irrational beliefs from the pre-colonial past still exist and continue to
    shape the opinions, decisions, values, and actions of Filipinos in modern
    times. While it may seem harmless at first glance, pamahiins  often
    interfere with how Filipinos cope with illnesses and respond to mental
    health issues.

     If I will be the one to answer this, I will not allow superstitions to cloud my
    judgment. I will make my physical health a priority by regularly visiting a
    medical professional, and undergoing health check-ups as needed.

    Does it affect their everyday living/routine?


     Yes it does. Our beliefs shape our thinking, which influences our behavior.
    When the gap between what we say and what we really do narrows, tough
    decisions become easier. High-stakes situations demand that we make our
    decisions based on our core values — the intersection of what we believe and
    how we behave.
