The primary Filipino aesthetic term

“Sum total of katangian (traits) of anything that gives


GANDA the highest pleasure to the senses.”

(Beauty) Relative term since its use defends on the judgment of


the beholder.

When applied to person, ganda involves both physical


appearance (ayos) and social character (ugali).

Ganda then is about the “totality of the person,” both


his pagkataong panlabas (physical appearance) and
his pagkataong panloob (social behavior).

Ganda and buti (good) are interchangeable terms so


that whatever is maganda is also mabuti. Aesthetic
taste involves moral judgement.

often witness when we met a
blushing girl.“

All societies have aesthetic standards for
appreciating things. This appreciation is
essentially a collective formation, deeply
embedded in symbols and meanings of
society. These symbols and meanings are
closely associated with the people’s concept
of ganda as this materializes in their ways
of experiencing the world or rationalizing
their relationship with it. Ganda may be
viewed not only as an emotion experienced
in the encounter of what is pleasurable but
also as a particular cast of mind out in the
world of objects.
