In Philippines, we usually call our older siblings "Kuya" for an older brother and "Ate" for an older sister while, for our younger siblings, we simply call them by their names or say "Inday or Dai” (younger sister) and “Dodong or Dong” (younger brother). These terms show the close family values and respect that are important in Filipino culture.

One of my favorite childhood memories is playing outside together until sunset, creating simple games with our neighbors and siblings. Another cherished memory is eating meals together and celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and New Year's at home. We would laugh, share stories, and enjoy each other's company. These simple moments are the memories I treasure the most.

In the end, having seven siblings has made my life more meaningful. They have taught me the importance of love, responsibility, teamwork, and forgiveness. No matter where life takes us, I know that my brothers and sisters will always be one of my greatest sources of strength and happiness.
