it has been a very unique value here in the philippines.
we define here close family ties as being doing something as family bonding like hearing mass with the whole family, taking meals together, having reunions and a lot activities which involves the whole family.

Hi there fellow countrymen. hehe
We also have sometimes exchanging thoughts, problem sharing, and personal relationship news or problems like my sister's has a problem of her boyfriend. And so as I, shares some problem regarding that I expends money too much for a day. I love my family. but sometimes we argue and then later fix the problem.

I do believe in family ties and the closeness that comes with it. It is very good to have close ties with your immediate family and it helps your children grow up with values in their lives.
Sticking together through struggles and good times sets a great precedent for the children in later years within their families. The good charity starts in the home.
