Philippines:

Family ties - In Philippines, the family is the center of the social structure and it was giving priority mainly above else, because of this closed-family ties, most Filipino still lives with their parents even if they have a family of their own, it is a popular belief that Filipino people are obligated to take care of their parents especially at their old age. Concern for the extended family is seen in the patronage provided to family members when they seek employment. And it is common for members of the same family to work for the same company.
