Abstract
The Waray as a people is not so much different from the rest of the Filipinos. Just like everyone else, we may show evidence of undesirable traits, but we also have character values that we can be proud of. The negative connotation of the Waray being brave, in an imprudent inference as synonymous with violence and criminality, must be stopped once and for all. It is rather apt to advocate that the Waray is imbued with courage, which is a quality of being brave. We are very well-known to have the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action.
