In the time and world we live in today,

Filipinos have seemingly taken the unique

nature of their identity for granted. They may

have embraced characteristics that make up

their one-of-a-kind selves with open arms;

masterpieces. In this paper, I look at

fellowbeing portrayed in Fernando Amorsolo’s

“Antipolo Fiesta,” at religiosity represented by

the Manila Cathedral, and at nationalism

exhibited in Eduard Castrillo’s “People Power

Monument.”

“Antipolo Fiesta” depicts a festivity happening

in the rural streets infront of a church where a

man and a woman were dancing in the midst

of a gathering crowd. I look at this

breathtaking piece of work as an exhibition of

kapwa (lit trans. fellowbeing or shared

identity), which is said to be the core of

Filipino social psychology in accordance to

the fact that statistical results have shown this

concept to be intricately linked to all Filipino

values (Pe-Pua & Protacio-Marcelino, 2000).
