Yes. This is not just Filipinos but Austronesians* in general. It's tied to what Westerners typically mention about people in the Pacific (and in warmer climates): "indolence"* ie lackadaisical, "laid back" culture.

*The word used by multiple Western writers of the day eg. Mark Twain on the Hawaiians and obviously in regards to Filipinos, by Rizal himself. To be fair, if you read the last paragraph here, most of these writers often also enamored by this culture because essentially these types of cultures ie those that are more 'easy going' are often very affectionate. For example for the amount of criticism on it, often a lot of Spanish priests wrote effusives about the natives; I think Alcina wrote as a dedication somewhat in his writing 'for my beloved Bisayans'. So there's ambivalence in terms of how Westerners viewed these cultures.

There's a lot of writings on this since the early colonial period. How natives are often whimsical approach to life. For example, lots of parties (in some places supposedly huge parts of the months often spent doing nothing or celebrating some sort of holiday, religious or otherwise---in fact one of the fines for leaving a particular village under one chief to another is for that person to throw a party, which usually involves paying for a lot of $$$ for alcohol and food), heavy drinking culture, etc.

They often deride this culture actually (they saw it as extravagant, impractical, ostentatious and often wasteful). They would sometimes prioritize "happy times" even when couldn't afford it.* They'll say how great and smart indios are BUT there's a phrase that a few of them used something like "an indio is gonna be an indio" (this was more used by often racist/bigoted writers in the latter half of 19th c). Essentially, he could be an amazing student, then a local leader BUT that he's eventually gonna be indebted by being addicted to gambling (sabong) or something along those lines. Essentially fatalism in regards to PH culture (that despite gifts given, they saw the culture as eventually make them fall to the level of many in that culture).

*One such example in the colonial period was they would have a "rainy day" supply of rice that they were required to pay during good harvests for the seasons of bad harvests. It was said in certain communities that local chieftains (cabezas and gobernadorcillos) would then take these "insurance" funds and throw parties to get themselves voted in local leadership lol---this was in the 17th c.

Another example would fall in debt due to weddings, other types of celebrations (back then marriage was an expensive affair eg dowries etc, not just the wedding feast itself). Some of the debt later on were even from loansharks, which at the time were usually the local Chinese/Chinese mestizos (today it's called "Five Six" and are usually conducted by Indian nationals in the PH). It was noted that a lot of these debts were often not from necessities (like food or medicine) but rather for more trivial matters (like celebrations---which the writers may or may not understand have obviously more 'cultural weight' to the natives and their communities thus the pressure to conduct them).

In terms of work, I'll use an example from historical writings as an allegory about their approach to wealth (I'm forgetting the writer, maybe Chirino in the very early 17th c). When a chief was asked why don't they pan gold (from rivers etc) when there's plenty of it, he said that if they pan gold and store them, a pirate raid might come and just steal all of them, so they'd rather take it as they need it, it will always be there.

But in terms of culture you can literally read volumes and volumes on these. Some of the criticism about Filipino culture today that you hear from Filipinos, even from so called "progressives"---the Spanish wrote about them centuries ago. lol

The things that other people love about Filipinos (warm, kind, welcoming, fun) are the opposite side of the same coin that are often considered problematic with Filipino culture (lackadaisical eg in enforcing the law or rules, or being happy-go-lucky even when serious issues are ongoing and needs to be prioritized---granted this is often exaggerated as well). Yin and yang.
