I. GOOD CITIZENSHIP VALUES OBSERVED IN VIDEO COMPILATION #1

In a world where love transcends boundaries and limitations, a collection of clips

show a variety of Good Citizenship Values that shines a spotlight on the quintessential
Filipino traits of caring for one another.

a. Jollibee

The Kwentong Jollibee segment pursues the trait of love found in Makatao
Cluster at Unit 2. In a tearjerking Jollibee commercial, a father's love shines through,
even in the face of illness.

b. Breeze

Breeze showed us what it looks like to embody the Concern for the Environment
value found in the Makakalikasan Cluster at Unit 4. Breeze's story shows a child taking
on adult responsibilities, driven by love and pride, while highlighting the power of love to
help others.

Yet again, love of Makatao Cluster was the center of the stage for this segment.
In Johnson's video clip, we witnessed a deaf mother's unwavering love for her baby,
triumphing over self-doubt and adversity.

MakaDiyos Cluster. Nido Nido depicts the enduring love between a grandmother, her
daughter, and granddaughter, emphasizing the timeless nature of love across
generations.

work. Coca-Cola's story revolves around selflessness and kindness, where love
motivates acts of generosity for a greater cause.

commercial portrays the bond between an older brother and a young boy, uniting a
community through love and support.
II. DEALING WITH A PRIDEFUL PARENTAL FIGURE

Relationships are tough, they aren’t built overnight. Hence, it’s important that we
put ourselves in a place of great understanding to decipher the psychology of one’s bad
behavior. The psychology of a prideful parent is characterized by a deep-seated sense
of self-importance, a strong desire to be perceived as superior, and a tendency to
prioritize their own image and achievements over their child's well-being. This
disposition often stems from issues related to narcissism, marked by an excessive need
for admiration, a lack of empathy, and an obsessive preoccupation with personal
success and image.

If ever so my parents are prideful, conflicts may arise. They can be particularly
challenging to resolve due to their resistance to feedback and compromise driven by
their pride and need for control. To navigate such situations, it's essential that I employ
effective strategies that promote open and constructive communication while
safeguarding my well-being.

First and foremost, I must select an appropriate time and place for the
discussion. It’s best to opt for a private and calm setting to avoid escalating the conflict,
as public confrontations tend to make the parent defensive. Using "I" statements is an
essential approach, as it allows me to express feelings and concerns without resorting
to accusations. Phrases like "I feel hurt when..." or "I am worried about..." can shift the
focus to my emotions rather than directly attacking my parents.

Empathy plays a pivotal role in addressing conflicts with prideful parents. Attempt
to understand their perspective and emotions, even if I disagree with them. This
approach can help de-escalate the situation and make the parent more receptive to my
point of view. Additionally, providing evidence or examples to support your concerns can
lend credibility to your argument and prevent it from becoming a personal attack.

Setting clear boundaries is another crucial step. I will make it explicit what
behavior and communication are acceptable, and communicate my expectations for the
relationship. It is important to remain calm throughout the conversation, as getting
defensive or emotional can exacerbate the situation. Seeking mediation from a trusted
family member, therapist, or professional mediator may also become necessary if the
conflict persists.

In the course of resolving conflicts, it’s best to try to find common goals or areas
of agreement, even when differing opinions exist. This can help bridge the gap and
create a more cooperative atmosphere. Nonetheless, it is essential that I prepare for the
possibility of resistance or a lack of immediate change on the part of the prideful parent.
Changing their behavior may not always be possible, and it's important to prioritize my
mental and emotional well-being.

Dealing with a prideful parent can be emotionally taxing, and it is crucial to

practice self-care. Taking care of my mental and emotional health through self-care
practices and seeking support from friends or professionals are crucial when needed.
Ultimately, the goal is to address conflicts with prideful parents in a way that promotes
open communication, respects boundaries, and, when possible, leads to healthier family
dynamics.
