Today, Most Filipinos would often prefer a modernized lifestyle than our culture and tradition-filled lifestyle back then.

Filipinos would probably prefer this house above thanthis one below.
In my opinion anyone can choose their type of lifestyle but either way I would really prefer the second house because it reminds me of my nationalism and how much I love my country.
