• There had been studies of the Filipino moral life, the

more popular of which were those Fr. Jaime Bulatao, Fr.
Leonardo Mercado, Fr. Francis Senden, and Fr. Vitaliano
Gorospe. Fr. Bulatao's research identified the "kami"
mentality of Filipinos. In "kami" (a Filipino term which
means "us") he says, "I identify with my family and
relatives ... We are opposed to all who are not kami." Fr.
Vitaliano Gorospe, SJ referred to this way of thinking as
"group-centeredness" or "group thinking"
