FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY  FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY REFERS TO THE PSYCHOLOGY BORN OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE, THOUGHT AND ORIENTATION OF THE FILIPINOS, BASED ON THE FULL USE OF FILIPINO CULTURE AND LANGUAGE ANCHORED ON FILIPINO THOUGHT AND EXPERIENCE AS UNDERSTOOD FROM A FILIPINO PERSPECTIVE (ENRIQUEZ, 1975) THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS DEFINITION IS THE FILIPINO ORIENTATION. ENRIQUEZ (1985) LATER DEFINED SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO AS ‘‘THE STUDY OF DIWA (‘PSYCHE’), WHICH IN FILIPINO DIRECTLY REFERS TO THE WEALTH OF IDEAS REFERRED TO BY THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT OF ‘ESSENCE’ AND AN ENTIRE RANGE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPTS FROM AWARENESS TO MOTIVES TO BEHAVIOR’’  FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY INITIAL WORK ON DEVELOPING SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO CONCENTRATED ON A TYPE OF INDIGENIZATION WHICH IS BASED LARGELY ON SIMPLE TRANSLATION OF CONCEPTS, METHODS, THEORIES AND MEASURES INTO FILIPINO. ON THE OTHER HAND, ANOTHER TYPE OF INDIGENIZATION WAS GIVEN MORE EMPHASIS- INDIGENIZATION FROM WITHIN: LOOKING FOR THE INDIGENOUS PSYCHOLOGY FROM WITHIN THE CULTURE ITSELF AND NOT JUST CLOTHING A FOREIGN BODY WITH A LOCAL DRESS. MUCH OF THE STRATEGY FOR DISCOVERING SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO IS BASED ON ASSESSING HISTORICAL AND SOCIO-CULTURAL REALITIES, UNDERSTANDING THE LOCAL LANGUAGE, UNRAVELING FILIPINO CHARACTERISTICS AND EXPLAINING THEM THROUGH THE EYES OF THE NATIVE FILIPINO.  FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY PRINCIPAL EMPHASIS OF SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO IS TO FOSTER NATIONAL IDENTITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS, SOCIAL INVOLVEMENT, AND PSYCHOLOGY OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. CONCERNED WITH PROPER APPLICATIONS TO HEALTH, AGRICULTURE, ART, MASS MEDIA, RELIGION, AND OTHER SPHERES OF PEOPLE’S DAILY LIFE. BEGINNINGS OF FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIODS WHEN THE PHILIPPINES WAS COLONIZED BY SPAIN, AND THEN THE USA, ACADEMIC PSYCHOLOGY, OR THE PSYCHOLOGY TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS, WAS PREDOMINANTLY WESTERN IN THEORY AND IN METHODOLOGY. IN THE 1960S, MANY FILIPINO INTELLECTUALS AND SCHOLARS WERE ALREADY SENSITIVE BOTH TO THE INADEQUACY AS WELL AS THE UNFAIRNESS OF THE WESTERN-ORIENTED APPROACHES TO PSYCHOLOGY. BEGINNINGS OF FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO CONCERTED EFFORT IN THE 1960S TO REJECT AND CORRECT THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF TEACHING AND STUDYING PSYCHOLOGY. IT WAS IN THE EARLY 1970S THAT THIS WAS INITIATED WHEN VIRGILIO GASPAR ENRIQUEZ RETURNED TO THE PHILIPPINES FROM NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, USA WITH A PH.D. IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY AND LOST NO TIME IN INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO (FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY) BEGINNINGS OF FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY TOGETHER WITH THEN-CHAIRMAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES (U.P.), DR. ALFREDO V. LAGMAY, ENRIQUEZ EMBARKED ON A RESEARCH INTO THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL ROOTS OF PHILIPPINE PSYCHOLOGY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE RESEARCH INCLUDED IDENTIFYING INDIGENOUS CONCEPTS AND APPROACHES IN PHILIPPINE PSYCHOLOGY AND DEVELOPING CREATIVITY AND INVENTIVENESS AMONG FILIPINOS. BEGINNINGS OF FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY FROM THESE RESEARCHES, A TWO-VOLUME BIBLIOGRAPHY ON FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY AND A LOCALLY DEVELOPED PERSONALITY TEST, PANUKAT NG UGALI AT PAGKATAO (MEASURE OF CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY), WERE PRODUCED. IN 1975, ENRIQUEZ CHAIRED THE UNANG PAMBANSANG KUMPERENSYA SA SIKOLOHIYANG PILIPINO (FIRST NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FILIPINO PSYCHOLOGY) WHICH WAS HELD AT THE ABELARDO AUDITORIUM AT U.P.
