Contexto cultural
This proverb reflects the 'Resiliency' culture of Filipinos, often seen during the typhoon season where people help each other with a smile despite losing their homes. The proverb is a 'Salawikain.' These are usually rhyming couplets that teach moral lessons. They are considered the 'wisdom of the ancestors.' In Arnis/Eskrima, practitioners are taught that getting hit is part of the learning. This proverb is sometimes used to remind students to stay calm and brave when they take a blow. Many Filipino rock and rap songs use the 'wounded hero' imagery to talk about the struggles of the working class.
