We, as Filipinos we have the best traits in the world. We are not perfect but we have the great characteristics and qualities that everyone must be proud of. Thus, let us appreciate the fact that these values should be applied to our society to have a good potential in terms of working for our human upliftment and to our national betterment.
Filipino values refer to the set of values or the value system that a majority of the Filipino have historically held important in their lives. This Philippine value system includes their own unique assemblage of consistent ideologies, moral codes, ethical practices, etiquette, and cultural and personal values that are promoted by their society. As with any society though, the values that an individual

Based on his linguistic analyses of Filipino value terms like loob (Cebuanobuot), he concludes that Filipinos desire harmony, not only in interpersonal relationships, but also with nature and religion, while still remaining nondichotomous.
Also, Florentino Timbreza (1982), concludes that Filipino values are based on the significance of the world to man. Life experiences dictate the philosophy of the Filipino, augmented by other sources like proverbs, folk sayings, folk tales, and the like.
I have below the core values of Filipino - positive and negative traits that not everyone may know.
According to Quito, E.S. (2008), Hiya (shame) became a positive trait because it contributes to peace of mind and lack of stress by not even trying to achieve. While for negative trait it arrests or inhibits one's action. This trait reduces one to smallness or to what Nietzsche calls the "morality of slaves", thus congealing the soul of the Filipino and emasculating him, making him timid, meek and

(2008), Ningas-cogon (procrastination) maybe positive in a way, because it makes a person non-chalant, detached, indifferent, nonplussed should anything go wrong, and hence conducive to peace and tranquillity. On the contrary it maybe negative by all standards, because it begins ardently and dies down as soon as it begins. This trait renders one inactive and unable to initiate things or to persevere. Ningas-cogon maybe defeat giving and accepting more compliments and encouragements. This is to avoid hopelessness, rather gives strength and enthusiasm to finish what has been started. Avoid starting a project if you know you know in yourself that you cannot finish it. Ask help from somebody else, that way the work will be easier and there will be lesser chances of not finishing it.
Utang na loob (indebtedness) may be positive because it is a recognition of one's indebtedness. This trait portrays the spirit behind the Filipino saying, "He who does not know how to look to the past will never reach his destination." But it could be negative, because one overlooks moral principles when one is indebted to a person. One who is beholden to another person will do anything to please him, thinking that by doing so he is able to repay a debt. One condones what the other person does and will never censure him for wrongdoing - Quito, E.S.
Value is someone’s moral standard of right and wrong, and is based off of one’s motivations or aspirations of life. Common values include loyalty, patriotism, and trust.
Values -Everyone has them. Where do those values come from? In literature, one can find the answer to that question by taking a close look at characters and their values. They can be compatible to real life experiences. Look at the two stories, "Abuela Invents the Zero" by Judith Ortiz Cofer, and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The main characters in the stories are Constancia from "Abuela Invents the Zero" and the Four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth from Little Women. These two stories demonstrate how Experiences can shape, and change values.
Every cultures has their own way to define the values. What could be of value in one country could be invaluable in a different country. For example, in Mexico there are places within the same country where the values are measured in different types of ways, such as; in a low-income scenario morality is of great value and in a high-income scenario money and power determine their values of life in a different manor. Everything depends in the social background you are born into that determines how you will live life this term would be called ascribed status” a position an individual either inherits at birth or receives involuntarily later in life”(Henslin, 2015, pg.102).
Values and perceptions that each person has on the behavior and perceptions are the vision of different personality traits, values and very different life experiences.
State how these values were formed, how they influence your character, and how you came to embrace these values. (2 marks)
Firstly, I will begin by identifying my core values. These values can be put into two separate groups. Firstly, there are instrumental values: courageousness, intellectualism, and helpfulness. When considering the myriad of ideals, many others were eliminated
In a country as culturally and ethnically diverse as the United States of America it may be difficult to believe so many people from so many different backgrounds could share the same basic set of values. Even if one were to ask any number of random Americans, they would receive varying responses on what their values are. Some may not be able to give a definitive answer. Others could continuously list values without stopping. Although it may appear that there is a broad range of values, taking a closer look one will find that these ideas can be condensed into four major categories. These highly important American values are individualism, equality, competition, and advancement.
Personal Values depends on where you come from, who you are as a person and your culture. Everything we go through and we experience our beliefs all depend on what we have been through in our lives. Life impacts every person from a different perspective and that specific perspective is how you view your life and the things that occur in it. As a future educator I want everything that I am impacted with that involves sexism, racism, prejudice and illegal immigration I will observe and handle with an open mind. It is all about perspective.
Values will determine how you live and are affected by the world around us. They direct our daily life and help us to make choices in a situation when you are not sure what to do. They identify who we are and our beliefs and they molded our way of life. Everyone has his or her personal collection of values. Every person’s value differs from one other. These values are made up by way of one’s life experience, religious beliefs, heritage and family history. Values are the representation of a person’s moral guidelines.
Understanding who we are as individuals can be a struggle for people throughout life. It can be difficult to comprehend who we are and why we exist. There are daily outside influences that help create who we are and what our values are. Values play a significant role in our lives. They shape the choices we make and reveal a big part of our identity to the world. Some values may be more important than others, but they still manage to influence our lives in one way or another, whether we know it or not. Values can range from a tangible item to an idea that has influenced us to stand by and remember those values. The values we hold with the highest importance act as a guide and help us prioritize our purpose and goals in our daily life. My family has taught me a list of values and traits that have helped me become a well-rounded individual. I value my family more than anything because most of my core inner values have started from their teachings at one point or another. My top values that I have developed from my family are dedication, honesty, and wisdom. I will discuss who I am in terms of the important values that shape my personal belief system and decision making framework that, in essence, describes the direction of my life.
During everyone 's lifetime, there is always something we hold closest to our hearts; it maybe our principles we live by, values, and even our own beliefs. Values are those things that are very important to us but never really realize how much we actually value them in our life. Have you ever been asked to define three of your main values and rip them up? I have and I never noticed how much they meant to me. Each and every one of us believes in our own personal values. These values are what gives us strength and strive us to do what makes us happy. These values are very important to us and are standards that we live by whether we realize it or not. Everyone has something we value including me. Some of the values I might think highly of,
Values can be defined as “a belief about what ought to be, what ought not to be, what is right, or what is wrong” (Chelladurai, 2006). I believe that values ground people and provide the framework for all decisions they make. I have four core values that I use to carry me through life every day and they are faith, family, honesty and passion. Faith is my number one value because I choose to walk by faith every day. To me that means staying strong in my relationship with God and making sure that all decisions I make are pleasing in his eyes. My second value is family. This is not limited to just my immediate or blood-related family. In every decision I make, I ask myself before or after whether it will or whether it did have a negative or positive impact on my family. With my immediate family I ask myself, “Would I be okay with telling Mom this?” I considered my volleyball teammates as family, so every decision I made in college I would consider the impact that it could have on my team as a whole. My third value is honesty. I always want to be honest with myself, honest with those around me and I expect the same from others. I believe that with honesty it is easier to build trust, loyalty and respect all around. The final core value in my life is passion. Without passion for the things one does, they will be just that “things.” I wa...
Our society has several pillars, and human morality serves as a foundation for a lot of it. (Elsevier, 2009) It has always been a big aspect of our life, especially in a Filipino community wherein religion plays a big influence in our norm, which inturn affects our day to day decisions and interactions
