GENERAL CONCEPTS OF CHARACTER
The term was derived from the Greek word “charassein” referring to
an engraving instrument, originally used of a mark impressed upon a coin
or the mark cut by it. Then it was applied to a distinctive mark of the
personality, and each individual one is being called characteristics
(Bartemeir, 2009). The social, emotion and intellectual manifestations of a
character are called personality, and the character is equivalent to
personality.

reacting of a person that distinguish one individual from another and
trademark of being a person.

by which the
individual, through
interaction of biologically transmitted predispositions with the
environment, develops stable pattern of functioning, thinking and
feeling.

actions that are often established in precognitive times of life through
the natural and normal educational patterns that are appropriate for
young children.

early relationship to the patterns (especially to the mother).
o As to Aristotle, character develop over time as one acquires habits from
parents and the environment either through reward and punishment.
Developing a good character is much learning to play a musical
instrument. Initially, an individual may be under some pressure to
practice, but eventually enjoys playing and understanding (Hartman,
2013).

contribute to the character formation of a child. It is said that the parents are
the first educators of the children. The parental guidance and discipline that
creates the kind of character, personality and attitude of a child. Parents
make sure that the child incorporates the positive emotions in personality
and stays away from the negative emotions. A child needs both parents to
develop their personality.

child towards classmates, teachers and response to rules and regulations

small lies or self – serving behavior that quickly destroys relationship.

communications and conduct. Honesty in communications is
expressing the truth as best we know it and not conveying it in a way
likely to mislead or deceive. There were three (3) dimensions of

openness
integrity
reliability (promise keeping)

interests of certain people, organizations or affiliations. To be loyal we must

have them do unto you” perfectly illustrates “respect”. When respect is

autonomy, tolerance
acceptance.

consequences of what we think and do.

According to Renato Constantino, the principal exponent of nationalism
holds the view that the Philippines did not sufficiently developed pre – colonial
civilization because of scattered and fragmented Filipino communities. National
literature, art music and all other forms of culture must therefore find their source
and inspiration on the people’s activities and dedicate their achievements to the
people.

Filipino Nationalism and its Barriers

The emergence of Filipino nationalism came as the end long process set in
motion by Spanish misrule and exploitation, hastened by the political and economic
developments in the Philippines and Europe. The insular mountainous character of
the Philippine geography limited social contact and communication. The dismal
state of transportation and communication facilities rendered these as natural
barriers to develop our nationalism and limit our national consciousness.
Quest for Nationalism

The Filipino quest for independence continued until 1935 when the United
States promised to withdraw on a definite date. During this period, Filipino efforts
were largely channeled into a constitutional struggle, but note should be taken of the
militant spirit which tried to kindle the nationalist movement into armed revolt.
Rizal’s Vision
As gospels of Philippine nationalism, Rizal’s novels convey the essence of
his nationalism that was to resound in the hearts of the people. He identified this
essence in his letters as his aspiration to alleviate the sufferings to the masses, to
make men worthy, to avenge one day the many victims of cruelty and injustice, to
erect a monument to the native tongue and to educate his people. In two novels, the
essence of Rizal’s nationalism is best understood through the keen study of the
characters. Through their dialogue and actions, in their ideas and ideals, or in the
lack of love of country, his appeal for reforms, his attitude towards the friars, and
his views on the weaknesses of the Filipinos.
Economic and Constitutional Nationalism of the Filipinos

In the context of constitutional reform, the development of the country
necessitates a more positive definition of economic nationalism. It is evident that
our economic policy has longed emphasized economic nationalism. Based on our
laws, our strand of economic nationalism emphasizes the fear of exploitation by
foreigners. In fact, from the time of Quezon until present we have adopted a system
of laws, starting with our constitution, reserving to the state the role of providing
cover and protection for the Filipino, defining his exclusive rights over others.

Religious Nationalism
The Spanish friars were the crucial elements in the Westernizing the

The apostolic zeal of the missionaries followed up the efforts of men like Miguel
Lopez de Legaspi and aided to consolidate the enterprise of hispanizing the
Philippines.
