Oral Vs Written Culture
What is Oral Culture? Oral Culture is a way of society to transmit history, story, literature,law and other knowledge across generation without writing it. People tends to use the "storytelling" to spread their news, the disadvantage of Oral Culture is the reliability of the information. While in the other hand, the Written Culture is the other way around of Oral Culture, when people discover ink and paper the way of society spread and transmit the news, story, literature, law and other knowledge is by writing it down and publish it.
I dont know if Filipino's are more on Oral or Written Culture. Though we are adopting the technology on written culture, Filipino's still relly on Oral Communication. We love "CHISMIS", we are Chismoso and CHismosa and we love sharing information right? ahahhaha... =)

I believe that both culture is important among us. the fact that we are filipino, our ability to speak and to write are certainly well understood by the reciever since the language filipino is quite easy. kahit sa text sa eh, "nk2intndi tyo ng gnitong mesahe" haha!
Cguro Filipino's are Little bit of both. I mean we appreciate oral and written. Just like what you said we love hearsays o mga chismis then in addition diba usually sa mga teenagers we love writing jounals to keep us connected with our life. So probably whatever type of communication as long as we can express ourselves in a positive way it would be well appreciated. ;)
Both are definitely important but i find that oral is much better in the means to communicate as there are plenty of nonverbal cues that we cannot gather from written communication.
