Mama Knows Best






The Philippines are known for being a matricentric society.  Historically, mothers have been the backbone of the family.  The Philippines are the leaders in exporting nurses to meet the demands of the United States.  This is partly contributed to the Filipino culture of careful nurturing and motherly care, as many Filipinos have large families.  Mothers also generally have the duty of child rearing, discipline, and managing the affairs of the home, including finances.
