The Philippines is a transitional society dominated on one side
by the traditional culture and on the other side by the modern

The Filipino Culture
A. Belief System
Filipinos are believers of religion.
They believe so much on supernatural powers and viewed
themselves as only a speck in this wide universe.
Success is considered a blessing from above, as a result of good
luck and faith
Good is considered relative.
Hapiness and success differ from one person to another.
Hospitality is practice.
B. Value System
Cultural values are shared assumptions of what is right, good or
important.
Guide man's behavior and action as he relates himself in most
situations in life.
Can best be seen from the aspects of personal and social
relationships.
Majority of Filipinos value more their honor (karangalan) rather
than wealth.
In decision- making, the Filipinos usually consult and take into
consideration the consensus of the family members as the feelings
of those who are to be affected.
Filipinos love to mingle with other people particularly with
friends and relatives.
They engaged themselves in mutual cooperation (Bayanihan)
Filipinos are friendly. They smile at people, even with
strangers
They are warm and simple
Filipino women are regardd and respected.
B. Value System
The Filipino Values (predominant)
1. Utang-na -loob it is a technique of receprocity of debt of
gratitude to others within the family circle or primary group,
sometimes unlimited in nature, emotional rather than financial or
rational.
It is sign of marginal economy where no place is available in
bargaining, formal agreeements, written contracts, specific rights
and responsibilities.
2. Pakikisama
Closely to utang-na-loob
It is the value of belongingness and loyalty to the snall
in-group with sensitivity to the feelings of others on the
principle of give and take.
Is a folk concept of good public relations and avoidance of
conflict with the leader or majority of the groups.
3. Hiya

Dependent on others will think, say and do.
Because of hiya, a Filipino cannot say NO even it is against his
will to do what is being requested.
4. Bahala na
Common expression among Filipinos and this rest on the
fatalistic outlook and strong dependence on the spirits who will
take care of everything if they are really meant for a person.
5. Authoritarianism
It is the dependense of the Filipinos in a paternalistic rather
than in a stern way upon the eldres of the family, upon their boss,
if employed, and upon people in authority as their father
figure.
Commonly practice in the Filipino familoyt which basically
patriachal in nature.
The father is seen as the head that makes major decisions
affecting the family.
6. Individualism
Pattern of behavior which characterizes the Filipino as
self-centered
The desire to make the name for himself becomes the primary
motivation for success.
7. Amor-propio
Individual's highly emotional reaction to protect his honor and
dignity when they are threaten or questioned and to retaliate.
Common forms of this are hele hele bago quiere or pakipot which
shows at aperson initially refusing an offer even if he wants very
much to accept it.
