The importance of Elders in a Filipino family is really worth noting. The family takes care of the elder until he/she dies, the families all pitch in to support their lolo and lolas. The role that the elders play in a Filipino Family is a very vital one, from the elders stems all the culture, values lessons that will be passed on by their sons and daughters to their future grandsons and granddaughters and so on and so forth.
The elders in a Filipino family also acts as the source of those scary stories which their grandchildren are so very afraid of but also love to hear. Elders in their own way keep the family together because their children pay off their debt by taking care of them while their grand children grows fond of them because of the elders take very good care of them, the children are pampered with their grandparents.
The elders stand also as some form of role model both to their children and grandchildren.
