Otherwise, the benefits that could be derived fromthis values would be offset by its
apparent weaknesses.

● Barkada as positive factors is both belief and commitment.

the best.
● CLOSING STATEMENT: Barkada has very Filipino values which it is already among us
even before the spaniards. However , today we must expand the values of barkada
including all Filipinos who are willing to join us, work with us and develop brotherhood
with us for the betterment and development of our society.
