    Filipino thought is based on an individual's understanding of their own life, world, and society through the lens of truth. There are two basic stages: vital thought based on immediate experiences expressed through myths, rituals, language, and customs; and reflexive thought which analyzes, systematizes, and critiques vital thought as it evolves. Filipino values are rooted primarily in kinship relationships, obligations, religion, friendship, and commerce. Values include being family-oriented, hardworking, religious, hospitable, joyful, humorous, flexible and resourceful. While influenced by where they originated, Filipinos decide on and live according to their values.
