Business Practices
In this theme, you will learn more about
how Filipino business practices are
influenced by values. I try to explain the
unique Filipino values in relation to the
business environment. To make this lesson
more effective, prepare your workspace.
If you want to fully understand the thinking
behind these value systems, please read
and understand the concepts provided.
Filipino values and their impact on business
a Utang na Loob, or duty to be grateful,
refers to the idea of remembering good
deeds others may have done for oneself,
especially in times of great need. Some
abuse this duty of gratitude by demanding
favors and goods that are unfair or beyond
the means of the indebted.
B. The virtue of honoring parents, elders,
and ancestors is called piety. Filipinos are
formally trained in manners and respect.
This is also the result of religious influences
teaching people to respect elders and
parents alike. Filipinos use the pronouns
'po' and 'opo' to show respect for their
elders when talking to the elderly and
elderly. Depending on several factors, filial
piety can be beneficial or detrimental to
your business
But it definitely affects how we do business,
especially when entrepreneurs face ethical
dilemmas.
Philippine culture, commerce, and politics
where favors, promotions, or political
appointments are recognized through
family ties or updates. please explain.
Friendship over merit. Both in government
and business, the Padrino system in the
Philippines has been the subject of
numerous scandals and corrupt practices.
The Padrino system is clearly bad for
business, especially when businessmen face
moral dilemmas. The Padrino system does
not serve as a basis for ethical business
decisions.
D. Suki - In Filipino, the word "suki" is a
term that describes an avid consumer. This
supposed "market exchange partnership"
could evolve into a contract that could be a
consistent buyer and seller.
Retailers know that happy customers are
loyal customers. Therefore, customer
satisfaction is critical to the sustainability of
any business, large or small. When the
customer buys again, the retailer makes
plans to nurture the customer relationship.
Business owners strive to meet and exceed
expectations by meeting customer
demands. Customer expectations of
products and services. This increases your
chances of getting Sukis. Ethics can be
beneficial or detrimental to a business,
depending on many factors, but it affects
how it is carried out, especially when
businessmen face ethical dilemmas. 
A. Bahala Na is loosely translated as “come no
matter what” and is known as the Filipino
equivalent of fatalism, which means to leave
everything in the hands of fate. However, the
word 'baharana' actually comes from 'batalana',
which means 'god'. Therefore, ``Bahalana''
literally means ``Leave things to God'', ``I have
done my part''.
Some people misuse the term 'bharana' to refer
to one's sense of hopelessness and acceptance
of one's fate. It can also be used to describe a
person's lack of knowledge or general inaction.
In contrast, the spirit of 'Bhaharana' gives one
the courage to face challenges and
unpredictability, just like any other business
activity.

B. The term "maana custom" refers to

postponing or postponing to tomorrow what
might be done today. The Spanish word 'maana'
literally means 'tomorrow' or 'undefined
future'.
punctuality and delay
The Filipino sense of time is related to the
"Manana Customs". Philippine time differs from
standard time by minutes or even hours. In
other words, Filipinos are often late for
appointments and gatherings. This practice
causes missed opportunities, makes
relationships difficult, and prevents others,
including foreigners, from participating in
activities that may be beneficial. Being late as a
"good habit"
Definitely undesirable behavior that belongs
outside the office.

C. Amor Propio or "self-love" is a Latin

expression. Amour propio refers to a person's
self-esteem and personal worth and qualities
worthy of admiration and respect. It can also
refer to an exaggerated sense of superiority or
extreme pride. Filipinos are experiencing
pressure to achieve the economic status quo of
their society. A sign of this is willingness to pay
more than you can afford at a party so as not to
embarrass yourself with your financial situation.
