 note = {Family is the basic unit of society in the Philippines. The filipino culture is a rich EastWest mix. In 1521 Spain brought in Catholicism making the Philippines the only Christianized country in Southeast Asia. A deeply rooted Spanish influence in the country is the observance of Misa de Gallo since then, notwithstanding social and economic status. This paper is the first attempt to ascertain the relationship of Misa de Gallo in strengthening Filipino families. Findings point that filipinos remained faithful in attending Misa de Gallo, which is a symbolism of their covenant to God, and reinforces solidification of family bonds. The intensity of practicing the customary Misa de Gallo evolved overtime due to socio-political and economic pressures.},
