...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Education is the action or process of educating or being educated. But being educated not only means that you have learned all the knowledge you may need to succeed in life. There are factors that define success, acquiring all the learning and knowledge we may need and of course having the right attitude and proper values in facing all the challenges that we may encounter in life. Family is the basic unit of the society, our first school, our first teacher where in we obtained the foundation of our learning. At our early age, our parents never taught us the figures of speech or even idioms; they never tell us the law of gravity or even the logic behind of the law of supply and demand; they did not teach us to find the x and y in math. Instead, the first thing they taught us is how to pray, kissing the hand of elders (Pagmamano) which is sign of being respectful and how to be good with others through giving (generosity). The family is the place where we can have the best learning and that is being a good person. Besides the family, the school is another social unit that gives values education among children. Parents entrust their children to the school to perform significant tasks of developing children's potential to prepare them for active participation in the future. The teacher is the most important element in the educational success of the child in school. But as the child grows in all aspects, changes occur...

...Delicadeza : A Thread of Filipino Values The Filipino value system arises from our culture or way of life, our distinctive way of becoming human in a particular place and time. We speak of Filipino values in a good sense. Delicadeza, good manners and right conduct? There are still people with delicadeza. Delicadeza is derived from the Spanish word delicado which means delicate, fragile, easily broken, irreplaceable and precious. Delicadeza was once placed in Philippine culture, it suggests gentleness the exquisite qualities of sensitivity, tactfulness and refinement. All these virtues are born from a sense of propriety and decency like doing the right thing when no one is looking. Filipinos are known for this positive trait, it is an important value that parents should pass on to their children, having delicadeza means your integrity and honor are in tact. You insist on doing the right thing even when people aren’t watching, because to you it’s not about letting the whole world know, it’s about believing that there is a correct way of doing things, acting your values and not taking advantage of every opportunity for self-gain and selfishness. Delicadeza means the sensitiveness of someone, it says refined responsive bearing of somebody contrary to see shamelessness. It even conveys elementary good manners and right conduct, ladylike actuation and gentlemanly behavior, in other words, “delicadeza” stands for sensibility on the part of an individual such that it sees and...

...impressed me or had a great impact on me is the commercial of McDonald Philippines classic commercial “Karen Po”. It is about a grandfather who keeps on interchanging his granddaughter's names. The grandfather keeps on mentioning the name Gina instead of Karen, while Karen repeatedly answers “Karen po” every time her Lolo got it wrong again. It was so much upsetting on Karen’s part but when the food came and the granddad was already cutting the cheeseburger into half, he mentioned it was for his favorite apo, “Karen”. Karen here was left speechless and happy with what she just heard from her Lolo, whom she thought has forgotten her. This advertising had a great impact on me because the message that McDonalds contributed is that, how much Filipino values family. McDonalds created an advertisement that would surely catch every Filipino’s heart. Aside from that, the actors in the commercial will be remembered by the viewers because of Lolo’s memory loss and repeating “Gina” and “Karen po” lines. The message of the advertisement makes the viewer remember McDonalds and their food. In the commercial, I can sense that in a family even if we forget about the names and interchange it with another person we can still remember the...

...INTRODUCTION Rationale Television is among the most important means of communication nowadays. It is used to communicate ideas to change people’s behaviors by means of several term including selected Filipino Short Film commercials that give values to the viewers. According to McLuhan (n. d.), television is a form of entertainment, and it has educational properties. It teaches all the time, doing even more educating than schools. In addition, according to Shairise (2011) Filipino values, these works call a development of a Filipino philosophy of values so that the ultimate causes and principle to be manifested. Today, the need for the solid Filipino philosophy of values is urgent in order to serve as a fundamental basis not only to speculation of the different sciences but also to the practice for Filipino philosophy of values exist. According to Patton (2006), television commercials have long been an effective means of advertising products. Today they are less dominant in the television landscape due to the rise of TiVo, commercial free cable and other forms of video entertainment. New types of advertising like sponsorship of sporting events featured on television and the placement of products within shows are growing, but traditional commercials still take up significant airtime and account for a large amount of broadcaster revenue. Few television viewers have not been exposed to television commercials. Advertising involves programming that is paid for by companies...

...EXTREME PERSONALISM Extreme personalism o sobrang pamemersonal. Ito yong ugali ng mga Filipino na ang mga negatibong komento ay itinuturing na personal na pag-atake sa kanila. Kawalan ng rasyonalidad. EXTREME FAMILY CENTEREDNESS ang kapakanan lamang ng pamilya ang inintindi. From the discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the Filipino, it is clear that there is much that is good in us but there is also much that needs to be changed. It is also clear that many of our strong points are also the sources of weakness. As people, we are person-oriented and relationships with others are very important part of our lives. We are thus capable of much caring and concern for others. On the other hand, our person orientation in the extreme leads to lack of objectivity and disregard for universal rules and procedures where everyone, regardless of our relationship with them, is treated equally. Our person orientation leads us to be concerned for people and yet to be unfair to someone. Our family orientation is both strength and weaknesses, giving us a sense of rootedness and security, both very essential to any form of reaching out to others. At the same time, it develops in us an in-group that prevents us from reaching beyond the family to the larger community and the nation. Lack of Self-Analysis and Self-Reflection. There is a tendency in the Filipino to be superficial and even somewhat flighty. In the face of serious problems, both personal and social, there is...

...Local Literature According to Dean Francis Alfair, Filipino men are spending millions to look — and feel — good. As was stated in his article, “Machos in the Mirror”, a metrosexual like himself doesn’t generally think of himself as vain, but then there’s this incident where Mr. Alfair remember from high school: some of his friends were assembled at his house so that they could all ride together to a party. As they were getting dressed in their Spandau Ballet-inspired finery (then the height of fashion), one of the barkada produced, from out of the depths of his bag, a can of mousse, which none of them hapless males had ever seen or even heard of before. Naturally, they all had to squirt some into their hands and smear it on their hair. Not knowing that they were then supposed to blow-dry or otherwise style it, they left the house feeling snazzy, while looking pretty much the same as they had prior to applying the mousse — at most, their hair was a little damper, vaguely crispy in texture, and certainly stickier than before. But they felt utterly transformed. They felt really good looking. Mr. Alfair stated “These days (long past high school, thanks), I don’t exactly wander around feeling guapo, but according to a survey by global research firm Synovate last year, a good many Filipino males do — 48 percent of us, in fact. This is just a slightly lower percentage than males in the United States at 53 percent, and considerably higher than our Asian neighbors: 25 percent of Singaporean...

...Herrera, Lei Dianne A. Uinversity of the Philippines – Manila College of Nursing Batch 2016 Implications of Taking Care of a Filipino Patient Communication and language play a vital role in establishing good connection between patients and their respective health care providers such as nurses. Mejico (2004) concluded that, “it is in their own mother tongue that a person can truly express his innermost sentiments, ideas, perceptions, and attitudes.” Relating it to class discussions, most Filipino students find it easier to learn and understand if the teacher considers a balanced use of the English language and the native language in explaining the lecture; the same is true for a patient-and-nurse relationship. It will be easier for a patient to express his sentiments if he uses the language he naturally speaks. At the same time, the nurse can precisely understand the patient’s concerns if she naturally uses the same language as well. It is through effective communication that a patient can openly speak of his difficulties and physical complaints for the nurse to precisely interpret the situation and render appropriate medical action. This concept is true for the patient to comprehend the nurse’s instruction or advice in return. A clear and constant communication will only be possible if both the patient and his nurse understand and speak a common language. According to Wilson and Billones (1994), ethnic identity is an important factor in rendering health...

MARY ANN VILLENA INTRODUCTION BILINGUAL EDUCATION involves teaching academic content in two languages, in a native and secondary language with varying amounts of each language used in accordance with the program model. ➢ “Bilingual Education Policy (BEP) in the Philippines is defined operationally as the separate use of Filipino and English as the media of instruction in specific subject areas.” As embodied in the DECS Order, Filipino shall be used as medium of instruction in social studies/social sciences, music, arts, physical education, home economics, practical arts and character education. English, on the other hand is allocated to science, mathematics, and technology subjects. ➢ From the above description, it is quite evident that there is confusion for some educators who defined BEP as the actual use of both languages (English and Filipino) inside...

...effects on the job performance of working students in selected colleges in cavite Jaime A. Enoc Jr., Aileen C. Juera De La Salle University – Dasmariñas City of Dasmariñas, Province of Cavite Abstract Education is considered as one of the valuable thing for every Filipino that they can achieve. It became a culture for every Filipino family to have even one member of the family to finish the education with a Diploma. This now became the answer for poverty for most of them. That is why even though the path to achieve success through education is seem to be narrow and steep, they still strive for excellence. That is why Filipino youth who really want to pursue their education chose to work while studying because of the incapability of their parents to support them financially. But due to their oath-to-work together with their responsibility as a student, how can they perform well in their job despite of their school responsibility? This study, therefore, was undertaken to find out how are they going to perform in a job while being a student at the same time. More specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: * Is schooling hindrance working students to perform to their job well? Or vice versa? * Is there any aspect that hinders the student to perform in their job? * Are they satisfied with their current job that can make them perform in the job well? * Are they more effective in their work environment than others?

...Philippine situation today. Questions such as "what's wrong, what's right with the Filipino?" have set many Filipino minds upon some deep and not-so-deep soul-searching and brainstorming. Is American democracy fit for the Philippines? Is Catholicism brought by Spain partly responsible for the failure of the country to become another economic "tiger" of Asia? The questions have not been answered with finality, although short-term and medium-term responses have been proposed and realized. Many seem to agree, however, that the root of the crisis facing the Filipinos in the past two or three decades is moral in nature. This calls for a long process of social transformation, of value recovery, formation, or transformation as the case may be. Education plays a crucial part in this process, and indeed teachers in both the private and public sectors , since the People Power Revolution of 1986, have responded to this call by introducing reforms in curriculum, content, style, and even mission statements. Such groups and institutions as The Association of Philippine Colleges of Arts and Sciences (APCAS), The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), not to mention The Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), have produced various programs for value education. The Senate passed a resolution, calling for a task force that would inquire into the "strengths and weaknesses of the Filipino with a view to solving the social ills and strengthening the nation's moral fiber"...
