    Filipino Virtues

    • Pakikiramdam is a virtue that values sensitivity beyond direct and spoken communication, reconstructing another person's feeling state or state of being.
    • Hiya is a form of self-control that prevents someone from making another person suffer embarrassment, and involves restraint from selfish impulses.
    • Lakas-ng-loob (or Bahala na) is a positive response to uncertainty, literally meaning "strength of will" and corresponds to the cardinal virtue of courage or fortitude.

    Loob and Kapwa

    • Loob is not a disembodied, subjective view of the self, but is always directed towards something, especially towards other people.
    • Loob must be understood in tandem with the concept of kapwa, which refers to the shared identity and recognition of the inner self with others.
    • Kapwa is the core value of Filipinos, recognizing the shared identity and inner self with others.

    Filipino Virtues (continued)

    • Kagandahang-loób is the beauty-of-will or goodness-of-will, manifested through acts of generosity or kabutihan, with no motive save kindness and inherent graciousness.
    • Utang-na-loób is a Filipino virtue that involves a sense of reciprocity and obligation to repay kindness with kindness.

    Decision-Making Model

    • Rae's decision-making model involves gathering facts, clarifying the situation, and asking the right questions to ensure ethical deliberation.
    • The model helps to identify whether the dilemma is moral, strategic, or a communication breakdown, and resolves the issue accordingly.
