What are some unusual (but good) ways your Filipino parents raised you?

I just came to a realization last night. There's a post somewhere in social media saying "Teach girls to prioritize their safety over being nice." And it hit me. Sobrang swerte ko na my parents were never conservative and knew the risks of the world around me. They raised me to fight back (which was useful in 2nd grade, had to beat up a bully that eventually shut him up, dad had my back sa guidance office and I wasn't given a violation) and told me I had to be strong and assertive and being nice won't get me anywhere. Sure, tinuruan nila ako syempre ng manners and being friendly pero I guess growing up empowered by your parents does make you strong.

So I'm wondering, despite the many stories we've heard about bad parenting in the Philippines, what good things did your parents or guardians ever raised you with? Anything we can change with how we raise the next generation?
