LEARNER’S INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
In the previous chapter, we have learned about the dominant approaches and ideas in
the social sciences which offer different ways of looking at society. The three dominant
approaches (positivist, interpretive, and critical social science) give us various perspectives in
analyzing society. Under positivist social science, you have discussed structural-functionalism,
rational choice, and institutionalism; under interpretive social science, we have tackled
hermeneutical phenomenology and symbolic Interactionism; and under critical social science,
we have talked about feminist theory, Marxism, psychoanalysis and human-environment
systems (Jison & Ponsaran, 2018).
The social ideas by Filipino thinkers in the 19 th century starting from the ilustrados,
instigators of the revolution and ideas of Filipino social scientists which emerged in the second
half of the twentieth century (Ong, 2016). These Filipino approaches in the social sciences offer
us alternative ways of looking at society using our own perspective as Filipinos.
There are several key disciplines in the social sciences can be applied in different
Philippine scenario, such as in politics, economics, and society. Also, you will learn to the recent
concepts of multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity and how these perspectives can be utilized
in solving various issues in our society. Lastly, we will analyze the significant roles being played
by the social sciences in addressing critical issues that upset the balance of the society (Ong,
2016).
I hope that this module, you will become better equipped to take on the challenge of
functioning as an integral part of the Filipino society.

LECTURE NOTES
At the end of this lesson, it is expected that you will be able to:
One day, Peter and John went to the Temple to pray. They entered the city through the beautiful
gate. Near the gate sat a man who had been crippled all his life.
The man saw Peter and John and asked them for some money. They said, “Look at us!” The man
looked up, hoping for some money. Peter said, “I do not have any money, but I can give you
something else. By the power of Jesus Christ, stand up and walk!”
Then Peter helped the man stand up. His legs felt strong. He was healed! He was so happy. He
went to the Temple with Peter and John walking, jumping, and praising God. All the people were
amazed.
Learning about the power of Jesus can also make you happy.
Processing Questions:
As Michaelian, what will you do when you see someone who needs help? Will you
try to help, just like what Peter and John did or you will just ignore him/her?

INTRODUCTION:
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) discovered the importance of knowing and
understanding the culture, indigenous identity, and the environment of the people the
organization is helping, to aid in carrying out its programs. UNICEF programs thus found a
perfect fit in Dr. Virgilio Enriquez’s Sikolohiyang Pilipino which “allows professionals to see the
world from the perspective of the people they serve.” Sikolohiyang Pilipino has definitely
reshaped worldview in community advocacy.
KAPUWA
Kapuwa is a vital concept in Sikolohiyang
Pilipino. According to Enriquez, the words
“both”, “fellow being”, and “other” are commonly
used as English counterparts of kapuwa. But the
term kapuwa is very different from its English
counterparts since it connotes “unity of the self
and others.” While the English word “others” is
used in opposition of the self, the term kapuwa
recognizes shared identity. Hence, kapuwa
means extension of the self. As Enriquez puts it,
“the ako (ego) and the iba sa akin (others) are
one of the same in Kapuwa psychology.

LEVELS OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS BASED ON PAKIKIPAGKAPUWA
Social interaction is an important aspect of a people’s life. Hence, analysis of social interaction
in the Philippines setting as reflected in the language reveals a lot about our character. The
Filipino language provides subtle distinctiveness in several stages and manners of social
interaction.
According to Santiago and Enriquez (1976), there are eight stages and manners of social
interactions in Filipino.
Pakikipagpalagayan/Pakikipaglagayang-loob
(being in rapport/understanding/acceptance with
There are theoretical and conceptual differences among the eight manners of social
interaction mentioned above. These are more than just interconnected manners of interpersonal
relations, ranging from the moderately uninvolved civility in pakikitungo to a complete sense of
identification in pakikiisa. Thus, the value of pakikipagkapuwa in Philippine society cannot be
questioned, because one can understand or even accept someone who is walang pakisama,
walang hiya, or walang utang na loob, but not someone who is walang kapuwa tao.
Pakikipagkapuwa seems to be the key in understanding one’s personhood or pagkatao.

Western-oriented scholars, But Enriquez insisted that if these concerns are being valued by
Filipinos then they should be legitimate subjects of psychological studies.
Currently, Sikolohiyang Pilipino is alive and kicking, so to speak. This is due to the vigor
and hard work of the younger generation scholars who have been inspired by Enriquez’s goal of
promoting an indigenous psychology. To this day on, the publication moves toward the
proliferation of national consciousness and awareness among Filipinos.

CONCLUSION
The institute of Philippine Culture paved the way for giving importance to the role of
interpersonal relations in the study of Philippine values. Sikolohiyang Pilipino serves as an
alternative to the Institute of Philippine Culture’s study on Philippine values for espousing a
Filipino perspective in the study of Philippine culture.
It has been more than fifty years since Sikolohiyang Pilipino was conceptualized by
Virgilo G. Enriquez. It is very evident that his brainchild has outlived him, and it can be said that
the growing expansion of Sikolohiyang Pilipino has come to immortalize him. Today, when we
say Sikolohiyang Pilipino, the name Virgilio G. Enriquez also comes to mind. Enriquez devoted
the most productive years of his life developing and popularizing a framework that best suited
the Philippine context when it comes to the study of Filipino psyche.
Moreover, Sikolohiyang Pilipino not only provided a framework for the liberation of our
minds from the influence of Western psychology, it also contributed an indigenous research
methodology, the cross-indigenous methodology, that would help and guide researchers in their
quest for the understanding of Filipino psychology in particular, and hopefully of Filipino identity
as a whole.
Although it has its share of criticisms, Sikolohiyang Pilipino has been an invaluable
contribution to the promotion of a nationalist consciousness by providing an alternative view to
colonial psychology.
LESSON SUMMARY
Search and use of indigenous concepts that could serve as bases for understanding the
Filipino psyche from a distinctly Filipino Perspective.
Kapuwa is the key concept in Sikolohiyang Pilipino; it is an indigenous concept that has
a different meaning from its English counterpart, which is “other”; for kapuwa denotes unity of
the self with others while “others” implies the recognition of the self as a separate identity.
Virgilio G. Enriquez is considered the Father of Sikolohiyang Pilipino and his legacy
continues as his brainchild is being used not only by social scientists in the country but also by
international organizations such as the UNICEF.

LECTURE NOTES
In the previous lesson, we have thoroughly discussed Sikolohiyang Pilipino as a Filipino Social
Science perspective which aims to search for and use indigenous concepts that could serve as bases
for understanding the Filipino psyche from a distinctly Filipino perspective. Sikolohiyang Pilipino, as
propagated by Virgilio Enriquez, served as an alternative to the application of Western theories in the
study of Philippine culture and personhood. Now, in this lesson, we will discuss another major
contribution to Filipino social science perspective by learning about Pantayong Pananaw, as
propagated by the eminent historian Zeus Salazar.
At the end of this lesson, it is expected that you will be able to:
“Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for
everyone.”
INTRODUCTION:
For a long time, Philippine history, culture, and society have been studied using Western
perspective. After all, the first chronicles were Spaniards so they recorded their observations
using their own perspective as Westerners. Even when propagandists such as Jose Rizal,
Marcelo H. del Pilar, and Graciano Lopez-Jaena defended Philippine history and culture in the
9
DISS 11-HUMSS (Q2 Weeks
3 & 4)
19th century, they were still within the colonial framework for they were compelled to use the
language of the colonizers and argue using Western standards. There were Filipino historians
who advocated a nationalist perspective in writing Philippine history but most of them still chose
to write in the English language. This is where the contribution of Pantayong Pananaw lies – in
advocating the use of the Filipino language in writing history and understanding society.
In ancient times, there was no written history although the natives knew how to write in
the ancient system of writing known as baybayin. Their history back then was in the form of oral
tradition such as legends, songs, epics, myths, folklores, and riddles. Thus, they were able to
keep the concepts and values important to them through the forms of oral tradition. The
babayalan or female spiritual leader was the keeper of oral tradition and had the duty of
transmitting it to succeeding generations.
Their worldview could be described as cyclical, meaning they saw important events and
phenomena as a cycle, like day and night, planting and harvesting seasons, summer and rainy
seasons, and birth and death.
When the Spaniards colonized the Philippines in 1565, they introduced the concept of
historia, or the writing of important events chronologically. They introduced the concept of
written history and the importance of objectivity in the writing of history.
With this in mind, they proceeded to write the history of the Philippines in what has
become known as Spanish chronicles. Spanish chronicles include Antonio Pigafetta, Miguel de
Loarca, Pedro Chirino, Antonio de Morga, and Francisco Alcina. They wrote about Philippine
history and culture using Spanish as the medium of communication and their own perspective in
analyzing Philippine society. They propagated what is termed as the bipartite view of Philippine
history in which they divided the period into two parts: pre-colonial and colonial periods, the
former being characterized by “darkness” and the latter, “light”.
Simply put, this means they considered our civilization as backward and advocated the
idea that we only became civilized because of them. Thus, historia was all about the Spaniards’
efforts in civilizing a “savage” culture, so to speak. Moreover, it is noteworthy that our oral
tradition was relegated to the status of myth because it did not conform to the Western
standards of historia, from which the English term “history” originated.
Pansilang Pananaw From the 16th century to 19th century, the bipartite discourse
dominated, with the Spaniards at first talking about our culture
among themselves and in their own language.
Pangkayong Pananaw Spaniards talking to us about it using their own language again.
Fortunately some changes in the 19th century paved the way for the education of some mestizos
who would challenge the dominant bipartite discourse. They were called ilustrados, the
“enlightened ones”.
10
DISS 11-HUMSS (Q2 Weeks
3 & 4)
Pangkaming Pananaw Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez Jaena and Marcelo del Pilar
(ilustrados) formulated the tripartite view of Philippine history by
dividing the period into three parts – pre-colonial, colonial and
post-colonial periods (light-darkness-light). They all agreed that
we had a high level of civilization before the Spaniards came.
Thus, they joined the colonial discourse by talking back to the
Spaniards using Spanish as the medium of communication and
colonial standards as bases in defending Philippine culture.
Pantayong Pananaw According to Zeus Salazar, “this was the task of the Filipino
thinkers of the Propaganda and the Revolution. What they
brought into being was a tripartite view of Philippine history
which, essentially, would consist of the revision of the two-part
Spanish philosophy of history and the addition of a third
epoch.”
Using Pantayong Pananaw, the term kasaysayan was more used rather than the term history.
Kasaysayan means “salaysay ukol sa nakaraan o nakalipas na may saysay para sa isang grupo
ng tao at inuulat sa pamamagitan ng sariling wika.”
The Pantayong Pananaw has basic tenets that explain the nature if this perspective:
1. The original language of the Filipinos and other indigenous groups in the Philippines must be
used in writing Philippine history.
2. Language as proposed by the advocates of Pantayong Pananaw serves as the root and
backbone of the Filipino experience.
3. Foreign people can speak and learn the Filipino language but cannot really have that whole
hearted knowledge about the language.
11
DISS 11-HUMSS (Q2 Weeks
3 & 4)
4. Writing history using Pantayong Pananaw would therefore hinge on using and tapping the
local and national languages.
5. Having one language (Filipino) used in writing history makes the Filipino society fully grasp
the true meaning of Kasaysayan.
BAGONG KASAYSAYAN
The idea of Bagong Kasaysayan is a fusion of the ancient definition of kasaysayan with
the scientific tradition of historia. Indigenous concepts and values vital to kasaysayan are
studied through the use of scientific method of historia. Thus, in Bagong Kasaysayan, historians
focus on non-traditional themes such as epidemics, women, environment, and even jokes.
Written documents are not the only valid sources considered, as what is propagated
especially by positivists in the 19th century such as the German historian Leopold von Ranke
who argued that “no document, no history”. The use of primary sources, which was Ranke’s
contribution to the field of historiography, is also being emphasized, but primary sources are not
confined to documents alone but to other sources as well such as artifacts, fossils, remains,
language, and architecture.
The use of an indigenous perspective is also a must in Bagong Kasaysayan since it will
serve as the historian’s framework in analyzing historical facts and propagating nationalist
consciousness. Finally, the use of a national language is considered beneficial in Bagong
Kasaysayan since it would help in the promotion of a Filipino perspective in the writing of
history.

CONCLUSION
Pantayong Pananaw was initiated by Dr. Salazar in the 1970s in the context of the
search for a Filipino perspective in the midst of the repressive atmosphere generated by the
implementation of Martial Law and the dominance of Western perspective in Philippine
historiography in particular, and in the Social Sciences in general.
It has gained following inside and outside the University of the Philippines where it all
began, as can be attested by the number of publications using the Pantayong Pananaw as
framework, as well as the number of teachers who incorporate Pantayong Pananaw in their
teaching ideology and strategy, especially in the fields of Social Studies and Philippine history.
LESSON SUMMARY

DISS 11-HUMSS (Q2 Weeks

Dr. Zues A. Salazar is considered as the “Father of Pantayong Pananaw” and one of the
great minds, together with Virgilio Enriquez (Sikolohiyang Pilipino) and Prospero Covar
(Pilipinolohiya), who pioneered the articulation of Filipino perspective in the social sciences.
The use of Filipino language is a must for Pantayong Pananaw, hence it is called a
“language-based framework.” It advocates the idea that the choice of language is a clear
indicator of whom one wishes to talk to.
