JOURNAL POLICIES
Research and Publication Ethics The PJP abides by the PAP Code of Ethics for Philippine Psychologists Sec X.Research and the National Ethical Guidelines for Health and Health-Related Research.
The manuscript must explicitly indicate that the study underwent research ethics review and obtained clearance or approval by an institutional ethics review board, preferably accredited by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (if authors are affiliated with a local institution; refer to https://ethics.healthresearch.ph/index.php/new-accredited-recs). If formal ethics approval was not obtained, the authors should indicate this in their cover letter to the Editor with an explanation (e.g., the authors’ institution does not have an accredited ethics review committee).
Authors must also declare any relevant conflict of interest (COI) in the cover letter to the Editor. A potential COI exists when the researcher has interests in the outcome of the research that can lead to a professional or financial advantage which may (in actuality or appearance) compromise the integrity of the research. For example, an author should declare that the program being evaluated in the study is copyrighted or owned by the author or the funding agency.
Whether or not there was formal ethics approval, the authors must explicitly describe in their manuscript the procedures they undertook to ensure the rights and welfare of human participants, especially with respect to the informed consent process (ensuring voluntary participation), mitigation of risks associated with research participation, and the maintenance of privacy or confidentiality of data.
Peer-Review Policy and Procedures Upon submission, the Editor or one of the Associate Editors evaluates the manuscript and determines whether it is suitable for peer review. For manuscripts that do not proceed to the peer review process, authors are notified within three to four weeks of submission. For manuscripts that are peer reviewed, authors can expect a decision approximately 90 days from submission. The editorial decision for such manuscripts shall be one of the following: (a) acceptance with minor revisions, (b) revise and resubmit, or (c) rejection.
The PJP implements a double blind peer review policy. It also implements a constructive peer review policy, wherein referees are encouraged to provide authors with detailed comments that would help authors improve their manuscripts for publication.
Manuscripts that are accepted will be subject to copyediting to improve readability. Prior to actual publication, authors will be asked to review the pre-publication proofs of their manuscript, and to supply corrections and/or missing information.
Copyright The copyright of all published manuscripts is owned by the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP), the publisher of PJP. The transfer of the copyright to PAP applies to all printed and electronic copies of the manuscript, and is affirmed in copyright agreement forms.

THE CONCEPT OF UTANG NA LOOB IN THE PHILIPPINES: UTANG NA LOOB SCALE
Asst. Prof. Geselle Manguiat, RPm, RPsy | Angelo Miguel Gundran | John Rovin Manalo | Pauline Anne Soriano | Rance Louise Cagsawa |
April 16, 2021 Psychology
The Filipino value of Utang na Loob refers to an obligation to appropriately repay a person who has done one a favor. This value is impossible to quantify as it involves a deep personal and internal dimension. In Filipino Psychology, value equates to the concept of “kapwa”— a shared personhood or shared self. In this paper, the researchers aim to measure how much individuals are willing to give back or demonstrate their appreciation based on their Utang na Loob. This Filipino value is divided into five dimensions: 1) Closeness, 2) Obligation, 3) Reciprocity, 4) Respect, and 5) Obligation. These dimensions are then used as a guideline to form the questionnaire. Keywords: Utang na Loob, Closeness, Obligation, Reciprocity, Respect, and Obligation

“Hulas at Hiya”: Reflections on Filipino Context of Human-Connectedness and the Nature of Nursing
- Rudolf Cymorr Kirby Martinez San Beda University, Manila, Philippines
This paper, through the lens of ethnography, explores and analyze the Filipino concept of hulas and hiya as the context of human-connectedness and its implication to the contemporary understanding of the nature of nursing and the process of knowing persons as persons. It is argued that the concepts of hiya and hulas are social constructs deeply ingrained in the Filipino psyche and society. Both markedly influence how Filipino persons present themselves and act in accordance with their unique and complex social dynamics. As such, this paper supports the idea that between the dichotomy of social and medical sciences, the discipline of Nursing shares the paradigmatic orientation and values of the former more than the latter. It is implied that education in nursing at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels must include scholarship, research, and studies on the prevailing local cultural knowledge to shed a deeper appreciation of unique practices and concepts affecting the understanding of nursing science and its expression as a discipline.

Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino psychology) refers to the psychology born out of the experience, thought and orientation of the Filipinos, based on the full use of Filipino culture and language. The approach is one of ''indigenization from within'' whereby the theoretical framework and methodology emerge from the experiences of the people from the indigenous culture. It is based on assessing historical and socio-cultural realities, understanding the local language, unraveling Filipino characteristics, and explaining them through the eyes of the native Filipino. Among the outcomes are: a body of knowledge including indigenous concepts, development of indigenous research methods and indigenous personality testing, new directions in teaching psychology, and an active participation in organisations among Filipino psychologists and social scientists, both in the Philippines and overseas.

Using alternative methods to directly test Enriquez’s kapwa theory, this research attempted to characterize Filipino adolescents in terms of their values and the interrelationship of these values. Study 1 verified whether Enriquez’s list of 12 Filipino values would still be endorsed by Filipino adolescents. One hundred thirty six university students answered a questionnaire on these values. Eleven of the 12 values from the original model were retained (bahala na was dropped) while two values were added to the list (maka-Diyos and paggalang). Study 2 aimed to represent the relationship of the 13 values derived from Study 1. Forty seven university students formed individual maps linking these values to each other. After subjecting these maps to multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS), a reformulation of Enriquez’s value system was proposed. Two dimensions (Sarili-Lipunan and Ibang Tao-Hindi Ibang Tao) were suggested to underlie the revised value system.

Hiya and Other Misinterpreted Filipino Values Hiya is another concept indigenous to the Filipinos, and it is literally translated as " shame. " This interpretation of hiya is inadequate because it does not consider the other meanings of the word in different circumstances and form. Armando Bonifacio said that nakakahiya (embarrassing) is different from napahiya (placed in an awkward position) and ikinahihiya (be embarrassed with someone). Zeus Salazar also said that there are internal and external aspects of hiya. Foreign scholars have captured only the external aspect. The more appropriate translation of hiya is not " shame, " but " sense of propriety. " For Western psychologist Charles Kaut, utang na loob is " debt of gratitude. " This definition identified the utang (debt) only, ignoring the other concepts related to loob such as sama ng loob, kusang loob, and lakas ng loob. Utang na loob became convenient in perpetuating the colonial status of the Filipino mind. For Enriquez, reciprocity maintains the image of colonizer as benefactor. When utang na loob is looked at in the Filipino context, it becomes not " debt of gratitude " but " gratitude / human solidarity. " It is not a big a burden as " debt " is because in the Filipino culture of interpersonal relations, there is always the opportunity to return a favor. It is not obligatory in the immediate future; it could be fulfilled in the next generation. It binds a person to his/her home community.Pakikisama is another Filipino value that has been misinterpreted by foreign psychologists. For Frank Lynch (1961), it is maintaining " smooth interpersonal relations by going along with the majority; conformity. " For Enriquez, though, it is just one

Diasporic identities may involve shifting forms of socio-economic class, status, culture, ethnicity and the like depending on one’s relationship with others (Lan, 2003; Pe- Pua, 2003; Seki, 2012). Social networking sites (SNSs) may offer transnationals to do more than just keep in touch with loved ones. Unlike other technologies (landline/mobile phones, email, instant messaging, voice-over IP service, etc.), the SNS design may also reveal ambivalent facets of their identities previously segregated through one-on-one or one-to-few modes of communication. In SNS contexts, unexpected paradoxes, such as being labelled an ethnic migrant in the host country while simultaneously being stereotyped as a prosperous immigrant in the home country, may become more evident. Previous studies conclude that SNS facilitate the demonstration of diasporic identities (Bouvier, 2012; Christensen, 2012; Komito, 2011; Oiarzabal, 2012). These platforms may allow diasporics to constantly and continuously renegotiate who they are to certain people. This research investigates how Filipino diasporics may simultaneously perform their cultural identities on Facebook to loved ones in the home country, new friends in the host country and members of their diasporic community around the world. Profile photos, status updates, photo uploads and video sharing may allow them to challenge Filipino stereotypes. By combining Filipino indigenous methods and virtual ethnography, I acknowledge my unique position as a Filipino migrant. Such means occupying an in- between space—as both an insider and an outsider (saling pusa). While my research methods may seem aligned with virtual ethnography, pakikipagkapwa (development of trust through relationship-building) is my mother method. Interviews and focus group i discussions are more like casual conversations than formal data gathering techniques. I treat participants as equals in our shared experience of renegotiating who we are as Filipino diasporics. This is rooted in the Filipino core value of “kapwa” which views identity as a fusion of self and others. Thus, I investigate how my participants and I renegotiate our cultural identities with Filipino and non-Filipino contacts on Facebook. Subtle renegotiations seemed to emerge through online pakikipagkapwa. These result in new forms of Filipino diasporic identities that may seem more visible on Facebook than in our material encounters. Such renegotiations may involve identity formation through deliberate association with and/or distancing from people in the way we enact kapwa as part of who we are as diasporic Filipinos through social networking.

There is some literature on the situation of Filipino children relative to the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in the Philippines. However, there is a scarcity of research about the experiences of the Filipino haphap (biracial) children, particularly those living in Angeles City; as well as a lack of investigation on the concept of children’s dignity from an indigenous perspective. Addressing these gaps are imperative since the Philippines ratified the Convention in 1990, and considering that millions of Filipino children are in poverty. Hence, this study aimed to recommend child-centred policies that can be applied by the Angeles City Local Government so as to uphold the dignity of the Filipino biracial children. In the thesis, I consider the context of the study through a discussion of the Philippine society, culture, political system, colonial history, and geography. I highlighted the impact of colonisation on Filipino women and ...

Sikolohiyang Pilipino, or efforts of Filipino psychologists and social scientists to indigenize Psychology in the Philippines started in the 1960s, further crystallized into a distinct movement from the mid-1970s and continued to flourish in the 21 st century. Using the broad outlines of critical-emancipatory social science, we argue in this paper that Sikolohiyang Pilipino since its inception in the works of V.D. Enriquez, was meant and has proven to be a liberated and liberating psychology (literally malaya at mapagpalayang sikolohiya), and may therefore be a unique type of criticl psychology in the Philippine setting. We first examine the academic and cultural circumstances that led to the movement of Sikolohiyang Pilipino, then describe its aims, methodologies, advocacies and theoretical contributions and how these resulted in the establishment of professional organizations, research programs, and curricular offerings. The movement from the traditional academic psychology as tau...
