DISCIPLINE
■ Principal emphasis in psychology
Identity and national consciousness
Social awareness and involvement
Psychology of language and culture
Applications & bases of Filipino psychology
(health practices, agriculture, art, religion)
Virgilio G. Enriquez (1992). From colonial to liberation psychology: The

11. PRIMARY AREAS OF PROTESTS OF
SIKOLOHIYANG
PILIPINO
■ It is against
a psychology that perpetuates the colonial
status of the Filipino mind
a psychology used for the exploitation of the
masses
the imposition of psychologies developed in
foreign countries
12. POSITIONS OF SIKOLOHIYANG
PILIPINO
■ On psychological practice
conceptualization of psychological practice in a
Philippine context (industriya vs. kabuhayan;
klinika vs. kalusugan)
concerned with folk practices, indigenous
techniques of healing, popular religio-political
movements
13. POSITIONS OF SIKOLOHIYANG
PILIPINO
■ On Science – Humanism issue
utilizes scientific methodology in the study of
psychological phenomena
concerned not only with the universal validity of
psychological science but also in utilizing such
for the purpose of serving the interest of all
mankind, affording protection to the
disadvantaged
14. POSITIONS OF SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO
■ On Mentalism - Behaviorism issue
• uses both phenomenological & behavioristic concepts,
but lesser emphasis on individual experience and
greater emphasis on the collective experience
• attaches greater importance to kamalayan, subsidiary
importance to ulirat
15. POSITIONS OF SIKOLOHIYANG
PILIPINO

for wholeness
(social context, political implications, cultural
meaning of the study)
16. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO
IS A ‘TAONG-BAHAY’
■ Metaphor
Sikolohiyang Pilipino can be explained through a
metaphor: (a characteristic way of clarifying
concepts) – difference between tao sa bahay
(person in the house) and taong-bahay (house
person).
17. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO IS A CALL
■ for the exercise of care in the adoption of foreign
theories… “uncritical rejection is just as
dangerous as uncritical acceptance of Western
theories”
■ for example: psychological problems are the
same anywhere however, the sources of such
problems differ greatly
18. LINES OF FILIATIONS IN
PHILIPPINE PSYCHOLOGICAL
THOUGHT
■ Academic-scientific psychology: Western
■ Academic-philosophical psychology: Clergy
■ Ethnic psychology: Indigenous psychology

19. PSYCHOLOGY: THE
WESTERN TRADITION
■ Academic-scientific psychology:
Wilhelm Wundt, the German tradition
University of the Philippines (1908)
and other American traditional schools
■ Academic-philosophical psychology:
Thomistic philosophy and psychology
University of Santo Tomas (1611)
20. ETHNIC
PSYCHOLOGY NATIVE
PSYCHOLOGICAL
THOUGHT
■ Indigenous psychology: kinagisnan and
katutubong sikolohiya.
■ Psychology of Filipinos - perceived ethnic traits,
as observed by foreigners or as felt and
expressed by Filipinos.
■ The practice of psychology by Filipinos –
techniques of enculturation, socialization.
21. PSYCHOLOGY: THE
FILIPINO TRADITION
Ethnic psychology
■ Kinagisnang sikolohiya
the subconscious psychology imbedded in the
native language, art, music, culture and religion
(one has been born into; unaware).
e.g. kaluluwa at ginhawa
Zeus A. Salazar (1977) in Sikolohiyang Pilipino: Teorya, metodo, at gamit.
Rogelia Pe-Pua (Ed.) (1989). University of the Philippines Press: Quezon
City.
22. PSYCHOLOGY: THE
FILIPINO TRADITION
Ethnic psychology
■ Katutubong sikolohiya
psychology worked out by Filipinos with
indigenous elements as basis (innate to the
Filipino) e.g. Kartilya of the Katipunan, Jose
Rizal, Hermano Pule, Isabelo de los Reyes.
Katutubong sikolohiya and Kinagisnang
sikolohiya constitute Katutubong sikolohiya
23. PSYCHOLOGY: THE
FILIPINO TRADITION
Ethnic psychology
■ Psychology of Filipinos- based on mainly
Western system of thought e.g. Spanish:
Pigafetta’s quite objective observation of the
Filipinos in the Visayas (impressed by them);
American: Worcester’s view of the Filipinos as
distinct ethnic groups different from one another
as Christian and non-Christian (pagans and
Moros).
24. PSYCHOLOGY: THE
FILIPINO TRADITION
Ethnic psychology
■ Practice of psychology by Filipinos:
a. indigenous techniques of enculturation/
socialization, e.g. myths for social control, or as
affected by Christianity or Islam.
b. proto-clinical practice, e.g. tagapayo,
manghuhula, ancient techniques of group
therapy that are still present (alternating chants
during wakes, poetry, consensus).
25. PSYCHOLOGY: THE
FILIPINO TRADITION
■ Ethnic psychology
• Psycho-medical system: religion as cohesive
element and explanation.
• (1565) Babaylan or Catalonan techniques
of healing; disease theory, causation, therapy.
• (1650) Messianic movements
• (1730) Herbolaryo
• (1900) Espiritista
26. FILIPINO
PSYCHOLOGICAL
KNOWLEDGE
■ Filipino Language
use as a tool for identifying/rediscovering
indigenous concepts
e.g. study of diwa (psyche), refers to the wealth
of ideas implied by the philosophical concept of
“essence”
27. FILIPINO
LANGUAGE
“Enriquez does his theorizing in Filipino and
does his writing in Pilipino; merely as a heuristic
device, a discovery procedure… returning to the
‘deep structure’ of the language… Enriquez
worked in an area where Filipinos are most
adept, where the language has a rich vocabulary
of feeling and sentiment.”
Andrew B. Gonzales (1982) in Indigenous Psychology: A book of readings.
V.G. Enriquez (Ed.) Akademya ng Sikolohiyang Pilipino: Quezon City.
28. LANGUAGE, A
HEURISTIC TOOL
Analysis,
■ Methods: Ethnography, Language
Semantics, Introspection
Language provided the instrument to refine the
tools of research so as to discover categories
and subcategories which would be lost to a
Western English-speaking researcher…
29. FILIPINO, THE PHILIPPINE
LINGUA FRANCA
The issue of national language has long been
resolved by the Filipino masses through their
use and propagation of a language based on the
Manila lingua franca, Manila being the seat of
government, the business hub, melting pot,
center of history.
Virgilio G. Enriquez & Elizabeth P. Marcelino (1984). Neo-colonial politics
and language struggle in the Philippines. Akademya ng Sikolohiyang
Pilipino: Quezon City.
30. LANGUAGE &
KNOWLEDGE
■ System of communication
summing-up our lived experiences
■ Social interaction
expressing our thoughts and feelings
■ Spoken language
from bodily gestures to linguistic acts
specialized speech apparatus
primary medium of communication
31. THINKING & LANGUAGE
■ Interdependence of knowledge & language, i.e.
the thinking process cannot work independently
of language
■ Language is not a neutral system of signs nor is
it value-free, i.e. it is partisan to the values,
perspectives, and rules of cognition of a
particular class or society
32. LANGUAGE, HISTORY, AND SOCIO-
ECONOMIC-CULTURAL LIFE
■ Specific historical features and socio-economic-
cultural conditions shape the thinking and
language of a people, giving distinctive
meanings and value judgments to their words.
■ Indigenous language, genuine vehicle of the
innermost thoughts and intimate feelings of a
people bound by a common historical heritage
and a specific socio-economic-cultural
environment.
33. PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPTS AND
HUMAN BEHAVIOR
■ The formation of psychological concepts is the
more important stage in the entire process of
understanding human behavior.
■ These concepts lay the foundation for the
formation of indigenous psychological theories
and models of analysis that correspond more
fully to the realities of the life and culture of a
society.
34. DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL
TERMINOLOGY IN FILIPINO
PSYCHOLOGY
■ System of affixation in the Filipino language a
resource for terminology development
■ The meaning changes because of the use of
affixes (suffixes, prefixes, infixes, postfixes)
paki, mang, mapa, ika, ipang, ma, ka, maka

40. KAPWA, A CORE CONCEPT IN FILIPINO
PSYCHOLOGY
■ The Filipino language provides a conceptual
distinction in several levels and modes of social
interaction (antas ng pagtutunguhan).
■ Eight behaviorally recognizable levels under two
general categories in Filipino were identified
(ibang-tao; hindi ibang-tao).
Carmen E. Santiago and Virgilio G. Enriquez (1976) in Sikolohiyang Pilipino:
Teorya, metodo at gamit. Rogelia Pe-Pua (Ed.) (1989) University of the
Philippines Press: Quezon City.
42. KAPWA, THE SHARED INNER SELF
■ Kapwa (English: both, fellow being, others)
others is used in opposition to the ‘self’
implies the recognition of the ‘self’
‘self’ as a separate identity
■ Kapwa in Filipino
a recognition of shared identity
an inner self shared with others
the ‘ako’ (ego) and the ‘iba sa akin’ (others) are
one and the same in kapwa psychology
43. KAPWA, A CORE CONCEPT IN
FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY
■ Pakikitungo, pakikipagkapwa are mutually
replaceable in taxonomic analysis, either
covers the entire lexical domain.
■ Pakikipagkapwa, more theoretically fertile
concept when analyzed semantically; much
deeper and profound in its implications as it
means accepting and dealing with the other
person as an equal.
44. PAKIKIRAMDAM:
THE PIVOTAL ASPECT OF KAPWA
■ refers to heightened awareness, sensitivity
■ ‘feeling for another’
■ a kind of emotional a priori
■ an active process involving great care and
deliberation manifested in ‘hesitation to react,
inattention to subtle cues, and non-verbal
behavior in mental role-playing
Rita H. Mataragnon (1987) in From colonial to liberation psychology: The
Philippine Experience. Virgilio G. Enriquez (Ed) (1992) UP Press.
45. PAKIKIRAMDAM:
THE PIVOTAL ASPECT OF KAPWA
■ Pakiramdam is necessarily tied to the operation
of all Filipino surface values:
pakikisama, hiya, utang na loob
■ The improvisatory character of pakikiramdam is
operative in bahala na
lakas ng loob, pakikibaka
■ The centrality of pakiramdam in behavioral and
interpersonal domains:
biro-lambing-tampo.

respondents
■ Participatory – negotiate issues jointly as they
arise
■ Indigenous – seek to enhance awareness as
one-with-the-other
49. INDIGENOUS
RESEARCH
■ Cross-Indigenous Psychology fuses the modern
and the traditional i.e. using scientific methods
and ensuring that they are culturally appropriate.
■ Sikolohiyang Pilipino utilizes and borrows
concepts from both the modern and traditional
cultural systems.
50. APPROACHES IN THE

51. INDIGENIZATION
FROM WITHOUT
■ Content indigenization

■ Theoretic indigenization
■ Indigenization as strategy
■ Culture assimilation

52. INDIGENIZATION
FROM WITHIN
■ Identification of indigenous concepts, methods,
theories
■ Semantic elaboration
■ Indigenous codification re-codification
■ Systematization/explication of implied theoretical
frameworks
■ Application/use
53. USING THE CULTURE

65. PHILIPPINE
CULTURAL STUDIES
■ Perspectival and Interpretive Models
• absolutist position - assumes the basic
congruence of psychological phenomena across humankind
• relativist position – assumes differences across cultures, if
not the uniqueness of each one
66. PHILIPPINE
CULTURAL STUDIES
pangkami (reactive relativist), assumes the utility
of an alien frame of reference
pantayong pananaw (ethnocentric), assumes the
absolutist indigenous perspective

cross indigenous orientation of Sikolohiyang
Pilipino
67. PHILIPPINE

■ Universalist position
assumes that basic psychological processes are
likely to be common features of human life
everywhere, yet their manifestations are likely to
be influenced by culture
68. PHILIPPINE

perspective (using natural taxonomies)
■ Etic approach (phonetic)
the discovery of psychological universal
69. FILIPINO INTELLECTUAL
TRADITION
■ Philosophical traditions and paradigms of
science as neither Eastern nor Western
■ The West does not have a monopoly of scientific
standards, in fact science evolved from Eastern
intellectual traditions
■ Filipino intellectual traditions: the Ma’aram, si
Pilosopong Tasyo
70. FILIPINO INTELLECTUAL
TRADITION
■ Filipino philosophy of science incorporates the
demands of empirical validation from reliability
and validity to affirmability and authenticity.

77. RESEARCH
MODELS
■ Models of data collection
Self-orientation Model:
the data collector and contributors relate to the
other only to the extent of waiting until the other
stops responding, e.g. laboratory-based studies
of memory. Communication is not taking place
between them through socially shared
interpretations or common constructs.
78. RESEARCH
MODELS
■ Models of data collection
Experimenter-orientation Model:
the data collectors appear to influence while only
the data contributors appear to be influenced,
e.g. Asch’s person perception study; an
imbalance of power in favor of data collectors
who appear to define the experimental situation.
79. RESEARCH
MODELS
■ Models of data collection
Reactive-orientation Model:
the participants in the data collection are
reacting to what is currently taking place
between them, e.g. verbal conditioning research;
yet the capacities of both data contributors and
collectors to construe are assumed to be
unimportant and are ignored.
80. RESEARCH
MODELS
■ Models of data collection
Mutual-orientation Model:
the data collector and contributor give something
to, and gain something from the data collection,
e.g. Piaget’s early research on conservation.
Indigenous psychology research uses this model
as the cultural researcher is a culture bearer
himself.

■ Levels of Relationship
There are eight levels of interaction which range
from the relatively uninvolved civility of
pakikitungo to the total sense of identification in
pakikiisa. These eight levels of interaction can
be divided into two categories: the ibang-tao
(outsider) and the hindi ibang-tao (one-of-us).

■ Pakikiramdam could serve as a personality
disposition, as a situational behavior, as a
coping mechanism; closely related to many
general psychological concepts such as
empathy and sensitivity.

Panunuluyan approach
■ Paninimbang: damdamin at isipan (sentido
komon) ang pinaiiral dito at anuman ang
namasid, nadama, o napakiramdaman ay
aangkupan ng tugong-kilos, subalit iniisip ang
kahalagahan at kabutihang maidudulot ng
katugunang ito (pagtutumbas).

Pagtatanong-tanong Method
■ Pagtatanong-tanong, Filipino word for “asking
questions,” the repetition of ‘tanong’ to ‘tanong-
tanong’ indicates seriousness of purpose, one is
truly determined to get answers to ones
questions.

APPROACHES AND TECHNIQUES
Pagtatanong-tanong Method
Major Characteristics
– Participatory in nature
– Equality of status
– Appropriate and adaptive
– Integrated with other indigenous methods
102. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH
APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Pagtatanong-tanong Method
■ Preparation: pagtatanong-tanong is part of
everyday casual interaction, researcher must
plan very well for certain conditions, consider
convenience and comfort of informants, their
background
differences,
language, norms, values, and
(history, within/between group
activities, policies).
103. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH APPROACHES
AND TECHNIQUES
Procedure of pagtatanong-tanong
Get to know the people, place, lifestyle
Greet informants, give credentials (name the go-
between)
Go tell them the purpose of the study
Give an estimate of the expected length of the
session
Guide questions are used when necessary
Goodbye and thank you is not abrupt
104. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH
APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
The level of the relationship that exists between
the researcher and the informant significantly
influences the quality of data obtained
(Santiago-Enriquez Model).
The language of the respondent is used in the
conduct of pagtatanong-tanong.
105. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH
APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
The use of pakikiramdam as ‘feeling for another’
(cultural sensitivity), through this the researcher
knows when to ask or avoid questions, interprets
a ‘yes’ for a ‘no’.
The equality of status is maintained, as it is a
dialogue (informant is a kausap or person
spoken with) not an interview.
106. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH
APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
The issue of reliability: consistency of response
can be checked by repeating the question in a
different way.
The problem of investigator bias and data
contamination can be solved by having more
than one person do the pagtatanong-tanong.
107. SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO RESEARCH
APPROACHES AND
TECHNIQUES
Principles of pagtatanong-tanong
Repeated sampling from as many informants as
possible can produce commonalities of lexical
domain which can then constitute a ‘construct.’
Familiarity with the language, values, cultural
norms, will optimize accuracy and relevance of
interpretations.
108. Pakikipagkwentuhan Method
Kuwentuhan is an occasion for exchange of
information, ideas, insights, and opinions also it
is a sharing of beliefs, thoughts, and
experiences.

Pakikipagkwentuhan. DLSU-URCO Research Project Report.
110. Pakikipagkwentuhan Method
Pakikipagkwentuhan is an informal, free, as well
as a social process of exchanging information,
thoughts, and knowledge that is part of human
daily activities.
