Bayanihan is a Filipino cultural concept that encourages people to help one another without expecting anything in return. It exemplifies community spirit as everyone contributes to achieve a common goal. In the past, it involved helping neighbors move houses made of light materials, and it still inspires people today.

Politicians like Leni Robredo have also strengthened bayanihan by uniting thousands of volunteers through initiatives to aid those affected by COVID-19 and natural calamities.
