Vanishing Filipino Values
Statement of the problem
1. What are the factors behind the slowly fading out of the Filipino values?
Introduction
Culture is a way of life of a group of people; it is the cumulative deposit of
knowledge experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings hierarchies, religion, notions
of time, spatial relations, concepts of universe and material objects and possession
acquired by a group of people passed along from one generation to the next. Filipino
values system is defined by way of people live their life as an influence to one’s culture.
The proverb is a reflection of Filipino sensitivity towards dealing with others. They are
cautious and careful when they commune with others. To understand the sensitiveness of
the Filipino values, it is important to understand their thoughts and needs.
The Philippines is a well-known land for its culture, traditions and values. As this
land was colonized by Spaniards, Japanese and Americans, they contributed a big impact
in developing the culture of the Philippines. And other nearby and farther countries also
help building the culture this country has today.

We are rich in those traditions, beliefs and practices that we can call "ours". Originally
from our ancestors that passed on through generations. We inherited those things from
them that we should really treasure. This also what makes us unique from other races. But
due to the evolution of time and shifting of generations, these traditions are slowly fading
away.
It is clearly seen that Filipino values are now undermined by the influences of
other countries and the changing traditions of today’s youth. The cultures were being
pulled out from the youth’s mind in replace to the foreign ethnicity.
For the fact, Young Filipinos of today look far different from their forefathers in
the manner they speak, act, dress, in the mode of living and other aspects. But then,
cultural traces inherited from ancestors are carried from generation to generation in
varying degrees. Presently, traces of this culture can be gleaned through typical ways
shown in relation to their everybody dealings with each other.
Because of our vulnerability to outside influences, our actions today in terms of
cultural traits are very much affected by our connections with the foreigners who
came to our shores. We easily picked up many of their cultural traits.
It is for us now to decide whether we should be better known as Filipinos in the
manner we act. We can’t deny that it is a fact that we began to fail identify in us
Filipinos qualities that we should uphold as true Filipinos.
Carino and Peñalosa reveals that the answer is in our hands. What we do to
preserve Filipino values and not what we say, will determine what tomorrow will be.
We Filipinos talk much but do little. We should change our ways. Let us train and
teach our youth to do their part. For unless we do so we will continue to be the sick
man of Asia. Or maybe even the dying man of Asia.
The value upheld by every Filipino individual significantly affect the current
status of our nation. In fact, it has played a major role in the economic, political,
social, and moral aspects of the Filipino people in the nation building. From the
earliest centuries of the Philippines, sets of values accompanied by traditions and
customs were maintained by our forefathers.
The Filipinos are usually caught in the midst of social changes, of
depression and other natural crises. Problems usually encountered by every Filipino
challenge their establishing and thereby pose aspects of life. Despite of this hazard,
they were able to resist on these because of having the traits of being a true Filipino.
Conclusion
The following conclusions were drawn based in the findings of the study:
1. There were some who still practice good behavior and still follow the tradition to
show the significance of all people related to them.
2. The Filipino values, exposed at it have been to foreign influences, has not entirely
lost it values, beliefs and traditions we have cherished for long. Many old-
fashioned virtues as mentioned before continue to be treasured in most Filipino
houses.
3. Reinventing the Filipino values is not a matter of chance. It should be left to
chance. It is a movement, a concerted, deliberate effort to establish a new order of
life. It is also a creative process. Colonization is merely a temporary detraction.

Recommendation
It is strongly suggested that we have to reinvent Filipino values. Reinforcing with
the older generations, younger generations will work on to uphold and restore the values
that were slowly receding out from the practice of the youths today. She hoped that
Filipinos will realize in such time that they also have to fight for their rights to preserve
the values that were genuinely cherished from the older generations passing them to
younger generations.
