May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! I'm always proud to be celebrating my Filipino American heritage. So in honor of that, here are a few Filipino characteristics that all Filipino moms have.

Giphy2. If you had any talents like singing, playing an instrument, or dancing, you would be performing any time guests would come over.
Giphy3. She taught you how to measure water for your rice with your fingers.

4. She did the duck face before it was popular by pointing with her lips.
Giphy5. She's a little superstitious. For example, opening an umbrella in the house is bad luck!
Giphy6. I grew up watching very dramatic teleseryes and Wowowee with her.
