I. CASE ANALYSIS
GUIDE QUESTIONS
1. As a student, how do you exercise the values being promoted by the
University?
For me, I exercise the values being promoted by the university by
embedding it to myself and showing it to others. Being able to become a
leader or become someone who can set as a good example for everyone is a
nice way to show how you really value the values of the university. Especially
now wherein classes are being continue via online, most students nowadays
already forgotten these values so we need someone who can help them to
remember it.
2. Other than the core values of the University, what other values do you think
are being practiced by the Stallions.
“Utang na loob” which basically translate to a sense of obligation to
return a favour owned to someone. Many of us students know the feeling of
being indebted to someone and we can’t deny this because as we all know
stallions helps each other. The guilt that we feel everytime we received some
help and we can’t repay them cannot be gone easily until we repay them.
Especially when its all about money, lessons or something personal. That’s -
why I think utang na loob is now a value that is being practiced by the
stallions.
3. Suppose that Poldo is your friend. What pieces of advice can you give for him
to appreciate the NSTP Program?
The first thing that I will do when giving advice to Poldo is asking him
how he value his own country. For me, hating nstp basically means hating
your own country, as we all know the aim of nstp is to build a sense of
patriotism to the individuals. Learn teamwork and loyalty. And NSTP
addresses the need for national program of youth development and
mobilization for the task of nation building. I will tell him to change his
perspective toward this program because even though this program doesn’t
II. REFLECTION
Create a guided reflection on the values of the Filipino Society. Are these values still
observed from today? Based on your personal life experiences, site examples for
each Filipino values discussed in the topic and reflect on it whether it has positive or
negative as the result. In your own opinion, how can you eliminate/if not lessen the
negative effects/weaknesses of the Filipino character?
Definitely yes, because these values are already part of us Filipinos. This value
will continue to be pass generation by generation which makes it impossible to
forget or to erase. Based on my personal experience, the most common value that I
always observed to the people around me are they always say “Bahala na” when
they didn’t really know what are they doing. My mom always says “Maka ammun
tun” (translate to bahala na) whenever I ask her the possible outcome of something
and I always wonder why she kept on saying this. For me, saying this quotation is just
like flipping a coin and letting it decide which sides shows up. Why do people let fate
decide their future and doesn’t really make a clear choice? If you really want to
achieve something don’t just let fate decide it, work hard for it and make sure to
achieve it.
