 I see some family members looking after lazy siblings and sometimes lazy parents, but I absolutely do not see the strong looking after the weak. 

This makes me confused 🤔, when people with drive and ambitions look after lazy people, isn't that the same thing as the strong looking after the weak?

In the Philippines, the ladies are strong and men weak

I do not see that at all in the Philippines.   I see the "strong" looking after themselves, and I see some family members looking after lazy siblings and sometimes lazy parents, but I absolutely do not see the strong looking after the weak. 

For me, your 2nd sentence is exactly what I mean by the strong looking after the weak.  My definition of strong was pretty loose.
