Module 2

Give 3 Filipino culture and explain how this culture affects Philippine Social
Psychology ( Sikolohiyang Filipino)

1. Hiya (propriety/dignity)
2. Kapwa
3. Pakikisama (companionship/esteem)

It is critical to recognize that these values are typically beneficial and constructive,
and that they are the reasons why we have a strong feeling of community, and why
Filipinos are a collective. We put others ahead of ourselves, are kind, and diligent,
among other qualities. At the same time, these ideals may contribute to the subtle
reasons why certain Filipinos may struggle with mental health concerns.

Kapwa may hinder someone from obtaining therapy, especially if it requires them to
go to a hospital or a location where a family member works. It is a value connected
to hiya. There is still a stigma associated with admitting to having mental health
concerns, which can cause people to delay getting therapy for fear of bringing
disgrace to their family, community, and themselves.

People may also experience feelings of humiliation, which can contribute to despair.
So if you feel ashamed that you didn't graduate from college, or that you didn't get
married before having a child, or that you haven't gotten married and you're 40 years
old, there might be a slew of mental health issues along with it.
