FILIPINO CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY
Three Main Traits Undergoing Filipino Values:
1. Personalism
2. Familialism
3. Particularism
FILIPINO VALUES ORIENTATION
Values Orientation – Is the approach that may influence work or social relationships by persons
relating to objects, events and ideas.
MAIN OBLIGATION UNDERLYING FILIPINO VALUES ORIENTATION
The relational or face-to-face interactions and their resulting responsibilities are called
interpersonal obligations. This is in relation to the value in Filipino cultural orientation, the
personalism. Pakikiramay, pakikisama, bayanihan, and galang are the nature of the
interpersonal relationships that are inherent to the pure-blooded Filipino people.
1. PAKIKIRAMAY – It is in the Filipino Value of going out of the way to help, without being
asked, ie., unsolicited help.
2. PAKIKISAMA - regardless whether someone’s views are agreeable or not, Filipinos
are capable of getting along with it. Camaraderie, trust, confidence, and loyalty are
enhanced and developed by this Filipino value.
3. BAYANIHAN – As mentioned in the preceding topics, Filipinos are able to render
services and generous enough to extend help without compensation. Somebody can
request help in time of need from those to whom it is extended.
4. GALANG – Filipinos are basically oriented to revere to the opinions of elders, peers, or
those in authority, during important discussions and during social encounters. Verbal
clash or any sign of extreme familiarity in public meetings is a sign of disrespect to
elders or persons in authority.

The Filipino is like a bamboo. He knows that he is not strong enough to withstand the onslaughts of
superior forces. And so, he yields. He bends his head gracefully with many loud protests.
The Filipinos survived the colonization of the Spaniards, Americans, and Japanese.
Filipinos are highly adaptable to different people, cultures, and situations that generally make us
well-rounded beings.
OPTIMISM
