Description

This virtual class will teach you about traditional and evolving Filipino family values that make the Philippine culture unique.  Filipinos are known for values such as respect for elders, religiosity, ‘utang na loob’ or debt of gratitude and many more that are evident across the 7,107 islands of the archipelago. The value system that Filipinos have came from a unique way of life which should be continued to be passed on from one generation to generation.

Filipino values are indeed quite unique to the Philippine culture. Utang ng loob, pakikisama, magparaya – these are some of the things we Filipinos grow up hearing. At the heart of these values is the word “kapwa” or “shared self”  – a recognition of shared identity or the inner self that is shared with others. “Kapwa” serves as the force behind our dearest values and virtues, including “bayanihan.” It can be translated to English in different ways: kindred, both, fellow beings, equally (applied to one of a pair). No matter how you use it, its core message remains the same – it is a recognition of our shared identity or the inner self that is shared with others. This makes the course valuable not only to Filipinos but to non-Filipinos as well because being able to relate to and connect oneself to others is now considered a vital part of living.

In addition, the origins of these values will also be discussed and expounded as to how it has evolved and is now seen in present times. Lastly, tips on how to maintain the Filipino family values while living in a foreign land will also be covered.
