3. • The Filipino terms papapasimuno, pakukusa,
pagpapanimula or pangunguna may correspond
to the term "initiative"; so "self -initiative" connotes
sariling pagkukusa or sariling pagpapasimuno.
• The concept of initiative means the ability to
take the lead, the capacity to begin the first
step, or the power to blaze the trail.
Self- Initiative
4. • It refers to one's own ability and power to begin, to
break the ground, to start the ball, to lay and first
stone, and to make the first move or first step in
any undertaking.
• In Filipino, a man of initiative is known as isang
taong mapagkusa, mapagpasimuno, or
mapgpasimula. He does not wait for others to
make the first move as long as he can do it
himself.
Self- Initiative
5. • Kusang-Loob roughly translates to “automatic” or
“self-starting” in English. This value is deeply
ingrained in our culture, and it is one that we
should embrace in our personal and professional
lives.
• At its core, Kusang-Loob is about taking initiative
and being proactive. We don't have to wait for
someone to tell us what to do. We don't have to
wait for permission to do a good deed.
Kusang Loob
6. • A very important requirement for the
conveyance of kagandahang loob is that it be
done out of kusang loob (roughly, free will).
This means that the agent (1) must not be
acting under external compulsion, (2) must
be motivated by positive feelings (e.g.
charity, love or sympathy) towards the
beneficiary, and (3) must not be motivated
by the anticipation of payment or reward.
Kusang Loob
7. • Genuine kusang loob flows spontaneously
and without the agent having to be coached or
intimidated. One may be able to bring benefits
to others by complying with public
expectations but that would not amount to
kusang loob. For this, beneficial acts need to
be initiated by the agent without having to be
solicited by others.
Kusang Loob
8. • The performance of a duty is not attended by kagandahang loob if
there is no positive emotional involvement on the part of the
agent. For, an agent who is motivated purely by a sense of duty
does not act out of kusang loob. Instead, such an agent responds
to what is perceived (though not in Kant's view, perhaps) as an
external call, i.e., an obligation imposed from without.
• Actions done in anticipation of reward or personal gain are not
done out of kusang loob. There can be no kagandahang loob if
actions are tainted with selfish desire: "A deed lacks nobility if it is
motivated by self-interest and not by a sincere desire to help." (1).
Hence, actions calculated to derive public recognition or material
reward do not have the purity that is essential to kagandahang
loob even if they are truly beneficial to others.
Kusang Loob
9. ● Kusang-loob is taking ownership of
our work and seeking opportunities to
make a difference.
● Professionals who embody Kusang-
Loob tend to be more efficient in their
work, as they do not require constant
supervision or guidance. They can
take the initiative to get things done
and are proactive in identifying areas
for improvement. They become more
productive.

10. ● Kusang loob can result in improved
teamwork and a more cohesive work
environment and foster a positive
organizational culture that values initiative,
self-motivation, and continuous
improvement.

11. —Elbert Hubbard
"The world bestows its big prizes, both
in money and honors, for but one
thing. And that is initiative. Initiative is
doing the right thing without being told.
Next to doing it without being told is to
do it when you are told once."
