    FILIPINO

    PHILOSOPHY
    Lesson Objective
    ⚫To identify the Filipino Philosophy
    ⚫Appreciate and value these Filipino
    Philosophy
    ⚫Application of these positive values
    in our day-to-day life.
    ⚫Many philosophers hold that
    there are three great original
    center of philosophy in the
    world – Greek (or Western),
    Indian and Chinese. All three
    arose as critical reflections on
    their own cultural traditions.
    ⚫In our present century, almost
    all the major philosophical ideas
    What about Filipino Philosophy ?

    ⚫It may sound presumptuous to


    speak of “Filipino Thought” for
    the reason that the Philippines
    could not very well speak of a
    tradition such as that of China,
    India or Greco-Roman.
    What about Filipino Philosophy ?
    ⚫Yet, for the Filipino, there has to be
    “Filipino Thought”. Like any other
    people, Filipino must eventually take
    consciousness of his own particular life
    and his world, society and gods in the
    light of truth and thereby realize his
    proper being. (Reyes 1990).
    Nevertheless, Filipinos do have their
    own philosophy.
    The Three Dimensions of Filipino Thought
    1. Loob : Holistic and Interior
    Dimensions
    ▪ Kagandahang-Loob, kabutihang loob and
    kalooban are terms that show sharing of one’s
    self to others.
    ▪ For Mercado (1992), interiority (inner life)
    manifests itself in freedom.
    ▪ Loob puts one in touch with his fellow beings.
    ▪ Philippine values are essentially interpersonal.
    Loob

    ⚫The use of intermediaries or go-


    betweens, the values of loyalty,
    hospitality, pakikisama and respect
    to authorities are values that relate to
    persons
    ▪ Filipinos generally believes in the
    innate goodness of the human beings.
    Loob

    ▪ In short, the Filipino as individual


    looks at himself as holistic from the
    interior dimension under the principle
    of harmony. He looks at himself as a
    self, as a total whole- as a “person”,
    conscious of his freedom proud of his
    human dignity and sensitive to the
    violation of the two. (Mercado 2000)
    Hospitality
    -A Filipino trait of being
    receptive and generous in
    treating visitors.
    ⮚ HOSPITALITY:A WELCOME
    ATTITUDE

    “Bukas-Loob na Pagtanggap”
    - Filipinos open their hearts
    to complete strangers and
    offer them the best in their
    homes.
    2. Filipino Philosophy of Time

    ⚫The Filipino believes in the gulong ng


    palad (literally wheel of fortune and
    hence looks at life as a series of ups and
    downs (Timbreza 1992).
    ⚫This philosophy of life makes the
    Filipino an optimist. When the so-
    called wheel of life is on the downtrend,
    he looks to the future with hope
    because life’s wheel cannot stay down
    forever.
    2. Filipino Philosophy of Time

    ⚫When one weeps, one will


    surely smile.
    ⚫The Filipino looks upon every
    event, fortunate or unfortunate,
    as fleeting or transitory.
    Filipino Philosophy of Time

    ⚫Gulong ng palad blends well with


    foreign philosophical ideas in the
    Asian region. It approaches karma
    of the Indians and yang and yin
    thought of the Chinese
    3. Bahala Na
    ⚫The pre-Spanish Filipino believed in
    the Supreme Being, Batula or
    Bathala.
    ⚫The Filipino puts his entire trust in
    this Bathala who has evolved in the
    Christian God. (Mercado 2000)
    ⚫The Filipino subconsciously accepts
    the bahala na attitude as part of the
    life
    It is believing that life depends on:
    ▪ Swerte or buenas (good luck)
    ▪ Tadhana (decried by fate)
    ▪ Malas (bad luck)

    ⮚ 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.
    Expressions which reflect
    bahala na are:
    ▪ iginuhit ng tadhana
    (decreed 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).
    ⮚ UTANG NA LOOB:
    INFINITE
    RESPONSIBILITY
    - portrays our true
    identity based on our concern
    and response to others.
    o Pagtanaw is the unending
    gratitude but this is not enough
    because the responsibility to
    others does not end since
    pagpapakatao has no limits,
    same with pakikipagkapwa-
    tao.
    Bayanihan or Spirit of Kinship
    & Camaraderie
    - A Filipino community spirit &
    cooperation wherein a group of
    individuals extends a helping hand
    without expecting any
    remuneration.
