THE REAL DEFINITION

THE REAL DEFINITION

The system of Filipino value comes out from our own culture or way of dealing with the flow of life, our extraordinary way of becoming such a human in this particular setting and time. We speak about the Filipino values in a fourfold sense.

         First, although the humankind which is us, shares comprehensive human values, it is totally obvious that certain values take on for us an originally flavor of Filipino. Second is, when we talk about Filipino values, we don't mean that the Filipino values' elements aren't present in the value systems of other peoples and cultures.

          Third, an example of Filipino value or disvalue does not exist alone, such as in isolation. These values of Filipinos like utang na loob, pakikisama at pakikiusap are categorized around the important core values like acceptance in a social matter and social mobility, and are always found in a definite set of fate or circumstances. Lastly, we can speak of Filipino values in the sense that what has evolved among the Filipino people is the historical consciousness of values.

           Values month is a way of remembering how important values is. It is a month of giving ourselves a reminder that we must always follow the core values. It is a month of making our own selves aware of the real meaning of having a good value.
