 Self-Awareness
Theory
In 1972, Shelley Duval and Robert Wicklund developed
the idea of objective self-awareness. They asserted that
at any given moment, a person could be self-focused or
other-focused. Further, they believed that inward focus
involved comparing the self with standards.
These standards arise from interactions with the
external environment.

 Self-Awareness
Theory
states that when we focus our attention to
ourselves, we evaluate and compare our
current behavior to our internal standards and
values. We become self-conscious as objective
evaluators of ourselves

 The Filipino
Value System
This Philippine value system includes their own unique
assemblage of consistent ideologies, moral codes, ethical
practice, etiquette, and cultural and personal values that are
promoted by their society. The distinct value system of Filipinos
is rooted primarily in personal alliance systems, especially
those based in kinship, obligation, friendship, religion
(particularly Christianity), and commercial relationships. It
centered at maintaining social harmony, motivated primarily
by the desire to be accepted within a group.

Filipino Values

 Philippine Core
Values
Philippine Values is defined by the way people live their lives
as an influence of one’s culture.
The Philippines being an archipelago – has not become a
hindrance towards having a single values system
throughout the country. In whatever part of the
country may be, one will find the same hospitality that the
Filipinos are known for as well as many other values that
have originated from the
Filipino forefathers.

 Family
The Filipinos recognize their family as an
important social structure that one must take
care of. They give importance to the safety
and unity of one’s family. The Filipino family is
so intact that it is common for members of the
same family to work for the same company. It
is also common to find the whole clan living in
the same area as Filipinos are afraid to be too
far from their own family.

 Politeness
Filipinos are taught to become respectful
individuals. This is mainly due to the influence of
Christianity that tell us to honor both our
parents and our elders. The use of “po” and
“opo” when in conversation with an elder or
someone who is older is a manifestation of
how Filipinos respect their elders.

 Hospitality
The Filipinos are very hospitable when it comes to
their fellowmen. They will invite their visitors to
come into their homes and offer them treats such
as snacks and drinks after a long journey. There
are also instances when the Filipinos will serve only
the best to their visitors even if at times they may
not be able to afford it.
 Gratitude
Gratitude or “utang na loob” is a very popular
Filipino characteristic. One does not forget the
good deeds that others may have done to him or
her especially at times of great need. This sense
of gratitude is sometimes abused by those who
have done well to others as they may ask favors
or things that may either be unreasonable or
beyond the means of the one in debt.
 Shame
Shame or “hiya” is a very common Filipino value. It is
said that Filipinos would go to great lengths in order for
one not to be ashamed. Hiya has a great influence on
one’s behavior for one will do everything, if it is beyond
his means just to save his reputation as well as the
reputation of his family. When it comes to economic
standing, Filipinos feel pressured to meet the status quo
of the society. One indication of this might be a
willingness to spend more than they can afford on a
party rather than be shamed by their economic
circumstances.
 Flexibility, Adaptability,
and Creativity
Filipinos’ sense of joy and humor is evident in their optimistic
approach to life and its travails. These are manifested in the
ability to adjust to often difficult circumstances and
prevailing physical and social environments. Filipinos have a
high tolerance for ambiguity that enables them to respond
calmly to uncertainty or lack of information. Filipinos often
improvise and make productive and innovative use
whatever is available. These qualities have been repeatedly
demonstrated in their capacity to adapt to living in any part
of the world and in their ability to accept change
 Loyalty
Filipinos are said to be loyal to their friends
and fellowmen in order to ensure the peace in the
group. This is manifested in their basic sense of
justice and fairness and concern for other’s well-
being. Filipinos recognize the essential humanity of
all people and regard others with respect and
empathy. With this orientation, Filipinos develop a
sensitivity to the nature and quality of interpersonal
relationships which are their principal source of
security and happines
 Hardwork and
Industry
Filipinos are universally regarded as excellent
workers who perform well whether the job
involves physical labor and tasks or highly
sophisticated technichal functions. This
propensity for hard work, which often
includes a highly competitive spirit is driven
by the desire for economic security and
advancement for oneself and one's family.
 Resignation
Trust in God or the concept of "Bahala Na" has
been over-used time and again. This ideal is
used when a person does not know what to do
or too last do anything at all. This belief to put
fate in God's hand may be a sign of how
religious Filipinos may be and, at the same time,
may show that the Filipinos are fress-spirited
and that they put their life in fate's hands.
 Unity\Bayanihan
"Bayanihan" literally means, "being a bayan,"
and is thus used to refer to a spirit of
communal unity and cooperation. It happens
when ordinary people come together, in unity,
to help a member of the community, the whole
community, or the nation in times of crisis.
These ordinary people do not expect to be
celebrated as heroes. They believe that
helping others or the community is what they
ought to do.
 Faith and Religiosity
Filipino people place their moral values in religion,
particularly Catholicism and Islam. Religion is seen as a
universal value that further strengthens the family and
sometimes even affects the government in power. For
many participants, religion and prayer played an
important role in Filipino health practices, and they
believed miraculous cures were possible. For Filipinos,
prayer was synonymous with healing, and like medical
treatments or procedures, prayers to God for healing
would be answered with improved health.
