PHILOSOPHY the concepts of loob or kalooban (meaning what’s inside the self, the inner-self, or the actual personal feelings of the self),The search for an i “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.ndigenous Filipino philosophy has been the goal of several Filipino thinkers. Jose Rizal- Reformist Andres Bonifacio- Revolutionist Emilio Jacinto- Revolutionist Manuel L. Quezon- Political Philosopher Jose P. Laurel - Political Philosopher Renato Constantino- Nationalist Claro M. Ceniza- Metaphysician Rolando M. Gripaldo- Circumstantialist The Filipino value system or Filipino values refers to the set of values or the value system that a majority of the Filipino have historically held important in their lives. This Philippine value system includes their own unique assemblage of consistent ideologies, moral codes, ethical practices, etiquette, and cultural and personal values that are promoted by their society. As a general description, the distinct value system of Filipinos is rooted primarily in personal alliance systems, especially those based in kinship, obligation, friendship, religion (particularly Christianity), and commercial relationships PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS Based on his linguistic analyses of Filipino value terms like loob (Cebuano buot), he concludes that Filipinos desire harmony, not only in interpersonal relationships, but also with nature and religion, Intoduction Augustinian concept of anima-cor indigenously. Puso (heart), isip (mind), diwa (spirit), kaluluwa (soul), are terms. If we take the literal translation of cor as “heart,” the Filipino equivalent could be puso. Like cor, puso is also a metaphor. But in general, puso belongs to the affective or emotional dimension of a person. Filipino values (A brief introduction to the philosophy of human values is necessary for an understanding of Filipino values and values education. A Filipino experiences family closeness and solidarity (pagpapahalaga sa pamilya), politeness (use of po or ho), hospitality (tuloy po kayo), gratitude (utang na loob) from within, that is, subjectively and emotionally, unlike a non-Filipino observer, social scientist, or psychologist who studies Filipino values objectively from without or from a distance. Such Filipino values as social acceptance, (pakikisama, amor propio, economic security, pagmamay-ari), and trust in God (paniniwala sa Diyos, bathala or Maykapal) find their philosophical basis in mans dynamic openness toward nature and the world (e.g., the value of hanap-buhay ng magsasaka), ones fellowmen (the values of paggalang, hiya, katarungan, pag-ibig), and God (the values of pananampalataya, pananalangin, kabanalan). Dynamic openness of man is an openness to the possibilities of the future. That is why values are something to be realized. Take the value of peace. The Philippine situation is now characterized by insurgency; conflict between the NPA, the MNLF and the AFP; vigilante groups; hostility and division--in short, an absence of national peace and order. Human values are not merely private. All values have a social aspect. The government official who demands porsiyento, the fireman or policeman who extorts tong or lagay for a service which is his duty, all contribute to the worsening graft and corruption. We are all responsible for one another (tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isat-isa).
