dealing with a person as an equal and an awareness of
shared identity.

which is shown in the act of generousity display
spontaneously on account of the goodness of heart and
inherent graciousness.
 3.Karangalan (dignity)- refers to a person’s self-
esteem and has no relation to how others in the
society view him.
 4.Kalayaan- Life itself. This implies freedom of the
society within the limits of the rules, laws, social
norms and resources.

4.  5.Katarungan (social justice)- which carries with it
the consideration of fairness and promptness in the
defense of certain basic rights and the need for the
truth and reason.
 6.Katotohanan (truth and reason)- this may be
observed in the implementation of justice.
 7.Pagkakaisa (unity)- this is the highest level of
interaction where there is fusion, oneness, and trust.
 8.Kapayapaan(peace)- this is the consequence of
katarungan and can be observed in situation where
one is a victim of injustice.
