Filipino Core Values Essay

From the articles that I had read, will reflect the readers understanding on different Filipino value, how it defines integrity, what it means, and if ones personality changes to fit certain situations. Filipino values have been derived from racial strains and cultural elements such as Aeta, Indonesians, Malayan, Hindu and Chinese which formed the core of our moral conscience, cultural identity coupled with the cultural elements derived from Spain, the United States and from the modern global community, (Panopio and Rolda, 2000). These values are Pagkalinga, Pag-aaruga, Pakialam, Pakikisama, and the Feminist Ethics of Care.Here in the Philippines, values are very important and should be respected. As we grow older, our parents shaped us different values. From the day we are born, Pagkalinga, Pag-aaruga, at Pakialam(Care) were given by them. In our culture, Filipinos were very feel for to someone especially to our beloved ones because caring symbolizes that you loved them deeply and you remember them all the time. This value molds our true Filipino faith, which shows that we are aware about others. This article wants to show values that are ever-present but seldom acknowledged, much little recognize in the Filipino society.The other one is the Feminist Ethics of Care, it discussed here that how they value the rectify of men and women. In the article that I have read, they most value the importance of men than women, because the traditionalistic view is that mens concerns are the more important things such as money, career, advancement and ideas. Womens preoccupations are under-valued and deemed as less(prenominal) important, such as families, neighbors, friends, and caring. As I interpret it, women are less important before because they knew that they cant do the things that men can do.I realized that caring is a value that we, Filipino women and men alike, should recognize and give importance to. Pakikisama shows that how Filipino Mingle to others and how they earn a good relationship of every individual. In the practice of pakikisama many things are unsaid. Mostly, things are implied in behavioral patterns. This is the typical way of Filipinos relate with one another. As a concept and a trait, it invites us to do good by responding to the call of the others so that we may practice ones major power that all relationships depends onthe ability to be good and nice companion.
