“Filipino Value”

Objectives:

• Cultivate a deep sense of commitment to building a free, democratic, peaceful, and progressive
nation.
• Demonstrate Filipino value system.

"Many Filipinos are what / call Sunday-religious, that is they go to church every Sunday, take in
confession and communion, but the rest of the week they bribe and do corrupt deeds..."

- Dr. Pura Santillan-Castrence

Filipino Values: Nature, Constellation and Context

What are Filipino values? What is distinctly Filipino in our value system? The Filipino value system arises
from our culture or way of life, our distinctive way of becoming human in this particular place and time.
We speak of Filipino values in a fourfold sense.

First, although mankind shares universal human values, it is obvious that certain values take on for us a
distinctively Filipino flavor. The Greek ideal of moderation or meden agan, the Roman in medio stat

virtus, the Confucian and Buddhist "doctrine of the Middle", find their Filipino equivalent in hindi labis,
hindi kulang, katamtaman lamang.

Secondly, when we speak of Filipino values, we do not mean that elements of these Filipino values are
absent in the value systems of other peoples and cultures. All people eat, talk and sing, but they eat
different foods, speak various languages and sing different songs. Thus, we easily recognize Filipino,
American, Chinese, Japanese or any other foreign food, language or music. The difference lies in the way
these elements are ranked, combined or emphasized so that they take on a distinctively Filipino slant or
cast.

For instance, in China, honesty and hard work may rank highest; Chinese and Japanese cultures give
great value to politeness and beauty, American Culture to promptness and efficiency: and Filipino
culture to trust in God and family centeredness. In this sense of value-ranking and priority of values, we
can speak of dominant Filipino values.

Thirdly, universal human values in a Filipino context (historical, cultural, socio-economic, political, moral
and religious) take on a distinctive set of Filipino meanings and motivations. This is true not only of the
aims and goals, beliefs, convictions, and social principles of the traditional value system of the lowland
rural family but also of what Fr. Horacio de la Costa, S.J. calls the Filipino "nationalistic" tradition
(pagsasarli, pagkakaisa, pakikisama, pakikipag kapwa-tao, and pagkabayani).
A Filipino value or disvalue does not exist alone, in isolation or in a vacuum. Filipino values like bahala
na, utang na loob, hiya, pakikisama, pakiusap are clustered around core values like social acceptance,
economic security, social mobility, and are always found in a definite context or set of circumstances.

Both positive values and negative disvalues together form a characteristic constellation in school (aralan
at dasalan [studying and praying], kuwentuhan at laruan [storytelling and game], inggitan at tsismisan
envying and gossipingl), which differs from the configuration found in government offices
(pagkakaisa[unity], pagkabayani [heroism) intriga [intrigue], palakasan [show of power], sipsipan
[bribery, palusot), in business firms (palabra de honor [word of honor), delicadeza [finesse],
"commission", "kickback", padulas grease money], lagay[bribe]), or in the barrio barangays (paggalang
[honoring). pagdadamayan [comforting]., bayanihan [cooperation], bahala na [come what may], utang
na loob gratefulness], hiya [shame] /pakiusap [appear], palakasan show of power]).

To change a framework of values, it may be necessary to change the constellation and context of those
negative values that hinder Filipino and Christian development.

Fourthly, we can speak of Filipino values in the sense that the historical consciousness of values has
evolved among our people. The Filipino concept of justice has evolved from inequality to equality, and
to human dignity; from the tribe, to the family, and to the nation. Filipino consciousness of these
different values varies at different periods of our history.

It is only in the last two decades that the Filipino people have become more conscious of overpopulation
and family planning, environmental pollution (Kawasaki sintering plant) and wildlife conservation

(Calauit Island), and the violation of human rights (Martial Law), active non-violence and People Power
(1986 Non-violent Revolution).

Filipino Values: Ambivalence and Split-Level Christianity

Are Filipino values good or bad? The

truth is that Filipino values are
ambivalent in the sense that they
are a potential for good or evil, a
help or hindrance to personal and
national development, depending
on how they are understood,
practiced or lived. They can be used
in a good or evil context, like,
pakikisama sa kabuktutan or sa
kaunlaran. Filipino values have both
positive and negative aspects
depending on the context in which
they are found.

In a social system or atmosphere of extreme insecurity, the positive qualities of the Filipino take on
negative and ugly appearances. For example, utang na loob can lead to pakiusap nepotism and
"cronyism". Pagmamay-ari ng kapangyarihan (the possession of power) and their abuse could lead to
class “Hiya” can distinction or the "malakas-mahina system" become pakitang tao or gaya-gaya;
machismo (tunay na lalake) is partly responsible for the "querida system" and the doble-kara morality.
To show the ambivalence of Filipino values, one example will suffice. Take the well-known but
ambivalent Filipino bahala na mentality. On the one hand, this Filipino attitude could be the root of the
positive value of risk taking, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. Prof. Jose de Mesa, in a pioneer
book on the Filipino and Christian meaning of bahala na, stresses the positive meaning of this virtue of
risk- taking, enterprise and joint trust in both human effort (bahala tayong lahat) and divine Providence
(bahala ang Maykapal).

A people's will to take chances and risks, no matter what difficulties and problems the future entails, is
necessary for a nation's growth and destiny. Bahala na could be a genuine faith and trust in Divine
ProvIdence that also presupposes a self-reliance (pagsasarili) that took the form of People Power in the
EDSA revolution. Bahala na was a positive and nationalistic virtue for Jose Rizal, who believed that
Filipinos could no longer rely on the Spaniards, but only on themselves and on God.

On the other hand, in the past the negative aspect of bahala na which dominated Filipino life meant a
false sense of resignation (ganyan lang ang buhay), a superstitious belief or blind faith (malas/suwerte,
tadhana, kapalaran), or escape from decision-making and social responsibility. As such it may be the
root cause of national apathy (walang pakialam) and collective paralysis of action (bakit pa kikilos) to
solve both local and national problems. Everything is already predetermined or fated.

Negatively, bahala na could engender a false sense of security with God as insurance or a security
blanket. For example, if God wants Filipino families to have plenty of children (anak ay kayamanan), God
will take care of everything. Bahala na could be the cause of the absence of national initiative and of
that discipline required for national growth.

When negative bahala na prevails, nothing ever gets done. Potholed roads, uncollected garbage,
countless unsolved murders, car napping and smuggling remain year after year. How many have ever
been arrested, convicted or jailed for wanton murder or for notorious graft and corruption? A sense of
national frustration, helplessness, and despair grips the nation and the people no longer care. Nothing is
going to happen--Bahala na, come what may.

From a Filipino perspective, what social reforms are necessary to transform bahala na positively? No
society will long endure unless there is justice; that is, unless a system of reward and punishment exists
and is effective. If in Philippine society lying and stealing people's money are rewarded and truthfulness
and honesty are punished, what else can one expect but a badly broken political will for national
reform?
The present government should therefore prioritize an effective system of universal sanctions for those
who hold power. From a Christian perspective, the Christian doctrines of divine Providence, creation,
stewardship of land and property, and the conservation of our natural resources remain the challenge
and task of parents, educators, and Christian evangelizers.

Split-level Christianity or double-standard morality, the immorality and hypocrisy of many so-called
Filipino Christians, is a scandal to both Christians and non-Christians alike. It is important to distinguish
between pseudo Christianity in all its varied forms and authentic Christianity; between bad and good
Christians. We must also take into account the ambiguity of any religious commitment, which is not
something made once and for all, but a life-long process which demands constant conversion and
renewal. We must also distinguish between Filipino actual and normative behavior (between what is
and what ought to be).
Filipino values are not static, i.e., they are not simply what they are, but dynamic, i.e., they become.
From a historical perspective, the question to ask about Filipino values is: Ganito kami noon: paano kayo
ngayon? How are we to know towards what goal or direction Filipino values ought to move or become?

Now that we have regained our democratic form of government once again and have arrived at a
privileged historical kairos, how do we transform Filipino values to build a more just and humane
society" (Preamble, 1987 Constitution)

According to Fr. Gorospe, we need both external structural and internal cultural change. It is here that
the Christian faith should, in the last analysis, point the way to the kind of values education needed for
national reconstruction.
