    The document summarizes Michael L. Tan's work "Stress and Filipino" which explores how Filipinos define and cope with stress. It notes that Filipinos do not have a direct translation for "stress" and tend to ignore it or find temporary ways to forget problems rather than directly addressing issues. While stressors are not universal, Filipinos experience stress which can negatively impact physical and emotional health. The document concludes that stress should be seriously addressed by understanding its causes rather than relying on medical treatments alone.

    A Reaction Paper in Stress and Filipino by Michael L.

    Tan
    Stress and Filipino by Michael L. Tan revealed a lot of issues on how
    Filipinos define stress and how they cope up with it. He illustrated a lot of Filipino
    practices when stress is included in the context and true enough that these practices
    is what most Filipinos is the way to relieve stress. Even at the beginning he
    challenge me to say stress in Filipino or in a local dialect like Bicol, and it was
    surprising that we really don’t have a word for stress and we simply say “stressed
    ako”. I have a feeling that somehow it symbolizes how Filipinos can’t deal
    properly with stress and we ignore it. Every Filipino experience stress up until
    stressors are present stress will come its way. But Tan claimed that stressors are
    not universal and he illustrated a great example which is “noise”; her nephew and
    niece was born originally in Canada and they find Filipino streets’ surroundings
    like jeepney vehicle and the people noisy but not rock music playing in their Ipods.
    Tan have honestly shown the issues that Filipinos faced in dealing with stress, but
    if we will read it and understand it in a holistic manner, we could find ways what
    could be done when dealing with stress

    I firmly believe that Filipinos are resilient even Tan highlighted the
    resilience of the Filipinos. We are the happiest people in the world. We mostly
    enjoy but I am also guilty that sometimes I enjoy not because I have done or
    accomplished an important task but rather I enjoy because I am so stressed out so
    that I can forget my problems for the meantime especially for the boys that Tan
    also mentioned that boys didn’t really addressed their problem but find a way that
    they can forget that problem not like girls who are expressive that they want to
    settle the issues immediately.

    I therefore conclude that stress should be seriously addressed because it is


    proven that it affect a person negatively by physical and emotional. I also believe
    in what Tan said that stress should be tackled not treated since there a lot of
    medical pills for stress nowadays this shouldn’t be the greatest choice to relieve
    stress instead you have to know where is stress is coming from and face it when
    you already know how to handle to.
