Enumerate and explain each Positive Qualities of the Filipino take the negative

approaches.
The Positive qualities of the Filipino take the negative appearances:
1. Religion is used for the immediate solution of his material needs in the so-called "magic";
2. Family solidarity is based on self-defense which later becomes individualism;
3. The grabbing of opportunities in his struggles for survival is called lack of value-synthesis;
4. The self-provision of the exploited becomes dishonesty;
5. The no acceptance of monopolous transactions is dubbed as resistance to change;
6. The perpetual consideration of possibilities is called ambivalence, indecision, inaction,
laziness, and;
7. The disregard of an uncertain future is termed anticipation, orientation to the present moment
or lact of planning.
As long as this social system - the main obstacle to his development - is kept in existence and
allowed to distort the inner nature of the Filipino, there remains a very weak foundation for
development and Christianity, which require a total concern for our fellowmen according to the
precepts of love and justice for all Filipinos in the image of God.
Discuss and explain in depth about the Philippine Values as a whole.
Sociologists in the past ten years have been one-sidedly stressing and overstressing the
negative aspects of the Filipino personality and of Philippine culture. It is very doubtful whether
by doing so, they help the Filpino in his attempt towards modernization and in creating a new
image of himself. It is a psychological law that people are what others regard them, that is,
what others keep on thinking and saying unto them, that is, what others keep on thinking and
saying unto them. For as man builds up his self-image, he is significantly helped by others
whom he looks up to as his looking glass or mirror. Consequently, if sociologists repeatedly
state that there are aberrations in the Filipino personality and repeatedly condemn what is highly
positive in Philippine culture, namely that a Filpino is always part of a group, at all times
subordinated to an end larger that himself. If no positive points from which he can take off
are indicated, the modernization and self-identification will amount to self-destruction, to
creating a vacuum that has to be filled with the Western man who is effecient, diligent, orderly,
punctual, frugal, scrupuloussly honest, rational, prepard for change, alert to oppotunities,
energetic, enter-prising, full of integarity and self-reliance, cooperation, and willing to take the
long view.
