Bayanihan's simplified English translation is "cooperation", but it goes well beyond that. It's more like brotherhood (and sisterhood, too), because the people involved in a particular task help out not because they have to, but because they want to.
The most symbolic bayanihan photo depicts a small crowd carrying what seems to be a small house. Wait-a-minute, it is a house! A bahay kubo to be exact.
What they say:
I refuse to believe that bayanihan is a dying custom.
