Respect for elders
(Paggalang sa nakatatanda)

experiences that may come in handy during tough
times. That's why we should honor them, listen to
their words, and follow their examples.
Deep regard for fellow humans
(Pakikipagkapwa-tao)
Sacrificing your own comfort for other people is one of
the most gratifying deeds a human can do. And it also
sets an example to other people, who might remember
you when they encounter the same situation. Essentially,
albeit unconsciously, you are spreading good vibes by
pakikipagkapwa-tao.
Cultural continuity
(Pagpapatuloy sa kultura)
In line with pagiging makabayan, we should also promote
our own culture. And by promoting, we mean not just
practicing it but also ensuring its continuity amid
challenging times. Let's not forget that our culture is the
soul of our humanness. It is composed of traditions,
morals, beliefs, and everything that keep our community
from falling apart.

The history of religion refers to the written record of human religious feelings, thoughts, and ideas. This period of religious history
begins with the invention of writing about 5,220 years ago (3200 BC).[1] The prehistory of religion involves the study of religious beliefs
that existed prior to the advent of written records. One can also study comparative religious chronology through a timeline of religion.
Writing played a major role in standardizing religious texts regardless of time or location, and making easier the memorization of
prayers and divine rules. A small part of the Bible involves the collation of oral texts handed down over the centuries.[2]

The concept of “religion” was formed in the 16th and 17th centuries.[3][4] Ancient sacred texts like the Bible, the Quran, and others did
not have a word or even a concept of religion in the original languages and neither did the people or the cultures in which these sacred
texts were written.[5][6]

The word religion as used in the 21st century does not have an obvious pre-colonial translation into non-European languages. The
anthropologist Daniel Dubuisson writes that “what the West and the history of religions in its wake have objectified under the name
‘religion’ is … something quite unique, which could be appropriate only to itself and its own history”.[7] The history of other cultures’
interaction with the “religious” category is therefore their interaction with an idea that first developed in Europe under the influence of
Christianity.
