emotional involvement.
- Because of this the Filipino is uncomfortable with bureaucracy, with rules and
regulations and with standard procedures.
- He uses personal contacts, and gives preference to family and friends in hiring,
services and even voting.

2. Extreme Family Centeredness- Excessive concern for family means using one’s
office and power to promote family interests and thus factionalism patronage, political
dynasties and protection of erring family members.
- It results in lack of concern for the common good, and acts as a block to national
consciousness.

precision and compulsiveness, in poor time management and procrastination(acts of
delaying).

control

love of the Philippines and an actual preference for things foreign.

upon other’s rights.

the larger community and our nation.

analysis.

makes us submissive to God’s will.
