 Kapwa (fellowship or togetherness) is a core value
that explains Filipinos’ interpersonal behaviour. The
term generally refers to a shared identity whereby
people bond together despite differences in wealth
or social status. Kapwa is related to
the collectivistic nature of Filipino society. It is
believed that what is good for one person will be
good for the collective and ought to be shared with
fellow people. Being branded as not having any
kapwa is an insult as it implies that the person does
not belong to a community.
HUMAN FELLOWSHIP
(pakikipagkapwa-tao)

4.  The concept of ‘hiya’ is also one of the underpinning factors
influencing how Filipinos behave and interact with others.
While hiya translates roughly into English as ‘shame’ or
‘embarrassment’, on a deeper level it refers to one’s sense of
self, propriety and respect. Filipinos may be more
motivated to succeed by a fear of shame rather than fear of
failing the task at hand. To avoid experiencing shame, they
may try to give face to those around them through
complimenting them and avoiding direct criticism.
Individuals will often try to be generous and hospitable to
avoid hiya and to maintain kapwa.

5.  An act of mutually acknowledging each other as fellow
human. We can better realize that human life is more
meaningful and worth living only in the presence and
help of others, in communion with others and for the
benefit of others. Our parents , classmate, teachers,
friends, and co- workers give meaning to our life.

6.  To Filipinos, “pakikisama” is
very important trait. It is the
ability of a person to get along
with others to maintain good
and harmonious
relationships. It implies
camaraderie and togetherness
in a group and the cause of
one’s being socially accepted.

7.  Pakikisama requires someone yielding to group
opinion, pressuring him to do what he can for the
advancement of his group, sacrificing individual
welfare for general welfare.
 One good aspect of “pakikisama” exists within close
family kinship and is interpreted as helping each other.
“pakikisama” is defined as an apathy towards others
with the readiness to help.

9. Filipino Values
NON-VIOLENCE

10. Nonviolence is the personal practice of not causing harm to
others under any condition. It may come from the belief that
hurting people, animals and/or the environment is
unnecessary to achieve an outcome and it may refer to a
general philosophy of abstention from violence.
Non-Violence

11. Non-Violence action
Nonviolent action is a technique by which people who reject
passivity and submission, and who see struggle as essential,
can wage their conflict without violence.

12. The Filipino perception
of Non-Violence
Filipino perception of Non-violence, kawalang-karahasan
(“non-”, “none”, “absence” or “lack” of violence). Despite
their religious and Socio-Cultural disparities, not to
mention their varied languages. Filipinos in general, except
for some over-ambitious politicians and terrorists, regards
as priceless the value of peace and reconciliation, harmony
and brotherhood, and love for one another. Violence and
conflict, they believe, will produce nothing beneficial save
hatred and resentment, distrust and ill-will towards one
another.

13. The Tagalogs spearhead the entire Filipino race in teaching
“Kung hinagisan ka ng bato, gantihan mo ng tinapay” (Kung
binato ka ng bato, Batuhin mo ng tinapay).
The “stone” metaphor stands for hardness, strength,
toughness, power, hatred, animosity, and merciless.
The “bread” analogy represent softness, love affection,
friendship, flexibility, resiliency, and congeniality.

14. Filipino Values
EDUCATION

15. Filipino parents value education as one of the most
important legacies they can impart to their children. They
believe that having a better education opens opportunities
that would ensure a good future and eventually lift them out
of poverty.
