Bayanihan Spirit

- MKPG Marinduque in Bayanihan Action -

Bayanihan Spirit is the Filipino value of collective communal action to achieve a greater good. It promotes unity, cooperation and volunteerism among kababayans. It is about helping one another especially in times of need without expecting payment, reward, or anything in return.

The concept can be traced back when people of the barrio would help a kababayan relocate a traditional bamboo house from one place to another. It involves the physical carrying of the house to its designated destination by around 20 able bodied volunteers while the concerned family provides food and water as a token of their gratitude.

The Bayanihan Spirit lives well in the hearts of every Filipino. It is demonstrated by our unity and readiness to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate kababayans during crisis, calamities and disasters.
