According to Edgar Shefield Brightman’s Personalistic Value
Theory, Value means ‘’ whatever is actually liked , prized esteemed , desired , approved or enjoy by anyone at anytime.It is actual experience of enjoying a desired object or activity.Hence value is an existing realization of desired.
![Page 11: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
•Values are our ideas of right or wrong, good and bad, to which we are committed and which influence our everyday behavior an decisions.
•Values are standards of which group or society judges the desirability and importance of person, ideas, action and goals.
•Values are shared conviction or beliefs in what are considered contributory to the welfare of the group.

Personally the Filipinos value more their honor(karangalan) and status than anything else.
![Page 14: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Socially the Filipinos give more emphasis on
social relationships.
![Page 15: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
They engage themselves in mutual cooperation, which is best pictured through the Bayanihan.
![Page 16: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bayanihan is coined from the root word “bayad” which means to pay, and refers to the asking for payment for service done when there is not supposed to be any fees; Bayanihan means “tulungan sa isang gawain.”

mechanism. ..playful, sometimes, disrespectful, we laugh at those we love and at those we hate and we make jokes
about our good fortune and bad.

It is manifested in the millions of Filipinos who bravely live through the harshest
economic and social circumstances. What we might be able to do under better
circumstances?

What about weaknesses in character?
Daghan pod oy! Pamalandungi ,dong.
![Page 48: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
1. Extreme PersonalismFilipinos view the world in terms of personal relationship
Hoy, bata! Hindi dito
tinatapon ang basura!
Hoy, kung galit ka sa akin, wag mong
pagalitan ang bata!
![Page 49: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Filipinos view the world in terms of personal relationships; no separation between an objective task and emotional involvement.
![Page 50: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
We tend to give personal interpretations to actions, i.e., “take things personally”.
Thus, a sincere question may be viewed as a challenge to one’s competence or positive feedback may be interpreted as a sign of special affection.
![Page 51: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
There is in fact some basis for such interpretations as Filipinos are quite personal in criticism and praise.
Personalism is also manifested in the necessity for the establishment of personal relationships before any business or work relationships can be successful.
![Page 52: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
2 Extreme PersonalismBecause of this personalistic world view, Filipinos have difficulty dealing with all forms of personal stimuli.
![Page 53: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
We tend to be uncomfortable with bureaucracy, with rules and regulations and with standard procedures, all of which tend to be impersonal.
we tend to ignore them or we ask for exceptions..
![Page 54: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Personal contacts are involved in any transaction and these are difficult to turn
down.
Preference is usually given to
family and friends in hiring, delivery of services and even in voting.
![Page 55: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Extreme personalism thus leads to the graft and corruption evident in Philippine society.
![Page 56: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
3.Extreme Family Centeredness
![Page 57: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Excessive concern for the family creates an in-group to
which the Filipino is
fiercely loyal to the detriment of concern for
the larger community or
for the common good.
![Page 58: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Excessive concern for family manifests itself in the use of one’s office and
power as a means of promoting the
interest of the family,
factionalism, patronage and
political dynasties, and in the
protection of erring family members.
![Page 59: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Family centeredness results to a lack of concern for the common good and acts as a
block to national consciousness.
![Page 60: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
4. Lack of Discipline
![Page 61: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The Filipino’s lack of discipline is manifests in a casual and relaxed attitude towards time and space which manifests itself in lack of precision and compulsiveness, in poor time management and procrastination.
an aversion for following strictly a set of procedures and this results in lack of standardization and quality control.
![Page 62: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
We are impatient and unable to delay gratification or reward, resulting in the use of short-cuts, in skirting the rules (the palusot syndrome) and in foolhardiness.
We are guilty of ningas cogon, starting out projects with full vigor and interest which abruptly die down leaving things unfinished.
![Page 63: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Our lack of discipline often results in efficient and wasteful work systems
violations of rules leading to more serious transgressions and a casual work ethic
leading to carelessness and lack of follow-through.
![Page 64: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
5. Passivity and Lack of Initiative
![Page 65: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Filipinos are generally passive and lacking in initiative.
There is strong reliance on others (e.g., leaders, government) to do things for us related to our need for a strong authority.
![Page 66: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
There is high tolerance for inefficiency, poor service and even violations of one’s basic rights. In many ways, it can be said
that the Filipino is too patient and long suffering (matiisin).
Filipinos tend to be
complacent and there rarely is a sense of urgency
about any problem.
![Page 67: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Too easily resigned to one’s fate. Filipinos are thus easily oppressed
and exploited.
![Page 68: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
6. Colonial Mentality
![Page 69: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Filipinos have a colonial mentality which is made up of two dimensions: the first is a lack of patriotism or an active awareness, appreciation and love of the Philippines; the second is an actual preference for things foreign.
![Page 70: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Filipino culture is characterized by an openness to the outside—adapting and
incorporating the foreign elements into our image of ourselves - not built around a deep core of
Philippine history and language.
![Page 71: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The result is cultural vagueness or weakness that makes Filipinos extraordinarily susceptible to the wholesale acceptance of modern mass culture which is often Western. Thus there is preference for foreign fashion, entertainment, lifestyles, technology, consumer items, etc.
![Page 72: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The Filipino colonial mentality is manifested in the alienation of the elite from their roots and from the masses as well as in the basic feeling of national inferiority that makes it difficult for Filipinos to relate as equals to Westerners.
![Page 73: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
7. Kanya-Kanya Syndrome

Filipinos have a selfish, self-serving attitude that generates a feeling of envy and competitiveness toward others, particularly one’s peers who seem to have gained some status or prestige.

The kanya-kanya syndrome is also
evident in the personal ambition
and the drive for power and status
that is completely insensitive to the
common good. Personal and in-group interests
reign supreme.

The public is made to feel that service from these offices and from these civil servants is an extra perk that is to be paid for.
This characteristic is also evident in the lack of a sense of service among people in the government bureaucracy.

The kanya-kanya syndrome results in the dampening of cooperative and community spirit and in the trampling upon the rights of others.

8. Lack of Self-analysis and Self-reflection
![Page 79: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
There is a tendency in
the Filipino to be superficial
and even somewhat
flighty. In the face of serious problems, both personal and
social, there is lack of
analysis or reflection.
![Page 80: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
We joke about the most serious matters and this prevents looking deeply into the problem. There is no felt need to validate our hypotheses or explanations of things. Thus, we are satisfied with superficial explanations and superficial solutions to problems.
![Page 81: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
We tend to emphasize on form (maporma) rather than on substance; to be satisfied with rhetoric and to substitute this for reality; rhetoric and endless words are very much part of public discourse.
As long as the right things are said, as long as the proper documents and reports exist, as long as the proper committees, task forces or offices are firmed, Filipinos are deluded into believing that what ought to be, actually exists.

The Filipino lack of self-analysis and our emphasis on norms is reinforced by an educational system that is often more
form than substance and a legal system that tends to substitute law for reality.

D. The Filipino Cultural Values
![Page 84: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
1.“Utang na loob”or debt of
gratitude
Filipinos always recognize one’s indebtedness. This means that he owed to a person who has helped him through the trials he had undergone.
He repays that person in whatever kind, whatever time and situation. It is one way of showing deep appreciation for lending out a hand.
![Page 85: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
It is a Filipino value that is difficult to translate. Literally it has several meanings such as shy, timid, sensitive rather than ashamed. Filipinos believe they must live up to the accepted standards of behaviour and make it a point not to cause another person’s embarrassment. Each is anticipated to have hiya in the way they behave to win respect from the community. This is a value that gives a Filipino a sense of social decency and politeness.
2.Hiya

• It means getting along with others to preserve a harmonious relationship. It invites the Filipinos to do good and to be a nice companion.
The value of pakikisama results in camaraderie and a feeling of closeness to one another. Pakikisama is also sharing one’s wealth, talent, time and self with fellow human beings and working together for a common good. This value bridges the gap between cultures.

BAHALA NA- is an
expression which expresses that fatalistic outlook of the Filipino. It happens when one simply resigns to the consequences of life’s difficulties.
It is believing that life depends on:
Swerte or buenas (good luck) Tadhana (decried by fate) Malas (bad luck)
![Page 88: FILIPINO VALUES](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102407/5456bec7af7959bc078b7a89/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Expressions which reflect bahala na are: iginuhit ng tadhana (decried by fate)
malas (bad luck) swerte (good luck) gulong ng palad (life’s ups and downs)
tsamba (undeserved success brought about by luck)
In every positive way, bahala na is what makes people move, take risks and plan for the future (Panopio & Rolda, 2000).

5. Authoritarianism
The dependence of Filipinos in a paternalistic rather than in a stern way upon the elders of the family, upon their boss, if employed, and upon people in authority as their father figure.

6. Amor-propioThe Individual’s highly emotional reaction to protect his honor and dignity when they are threatened or questioned and to retaliate.
Common forms of amor-propio are “hele-hele bago quire” or “pakipot” which shows at the outset a person initially refusing an offer even if he really wants very much to accept it.
