LESSON REVIEW (5 minutes)
As a review of the previous discussion, the instructor will ask the students the following:
1. What is Indigenous Psychology?
Answer:
Indigenous Psychology recognizes that psychology is not a universal concept but a product of specific cultural, historical, and social
contexts. It emphasizes the importance of understanding Indigenous peoples' cultural and historical contexts and seeks to integrate
Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and practices into psychological theory and practice.
2. As introduced by Santiago (1977) and Torres (1982, 171), the concept of pakapa-kapa has brought a significant contribution in the field
of research in the Philippines. Explain what is pakapa-kapa in the context of Filipino Psychology.
3. Answer
Pakapapa-kapa is a Filipino term that means "feeling one's way through the dark" or "groping in the dark." Pakapapa-kapa is a qualitative
research approach emphasizing the exploration and understanding of lived experiences and cultural phenomena through an open and
flexible inquiry process. The concept of pakapa-kapa has significantly contributed to the field of research in the Philippines by promoting
a more culturally sensitive and responsive approach to research.
4. Pe-Pua (2006) explained some guiding principles in undertaking psychological research the IP way. State those principles.
Answer:

perspectives and experiences of Indigenous peoples. These principles include Respect for cultural diversity: Psychological research
should respect the diversity of cultures, beliefs, and practices of Indigenous peoples. Collaboration and community participation:
Psychological research should be conducted in collaboration with Indigenous communities and involve the active participation of
community members. Contextual and ecological validity: Psychological research should be conducted in a way that recognizes the
contextual and ecological factors that shape the experiences and behaviors of Indigenous peoples. Empowerment and social justice:

PAGPAPALIWANAG:
Virgilio G. Enriquez made a significant contribution to the field of Filipino Psychology. He is the one who
started and led the Development of the theory of Filipino Psychology, which aims to pay attention to the
experience, perspectives, and customs of Filipinos in explaining their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Enriquez
believed traditional Western psychology needed to capture Filipinos' unique experiences and values fully. He
argued that psychology should be rooted in the cultural context of the Philippines, taking into account its history,
language, and social norms.
One of his most significant contributions is the Development of indigenous concepts and methods:
Enriquez developed several indigenous concepts and techniques that are now widely used in Filipino psychology.
These include the kapwa concept, which emphasizes Filipinos' interconnectedness and shared identity, and the
pakikipagkapwa method, which emphasizes the importance of social interaction and relationships in
understanding Filipino behavior. Through his work, Enriquez helped establish psychology as a legitimate field of
study in the Philippines and inspired other Filipino psychologists to pursue more culturally sensitive research
relevant to the Filipino experience. As a result, he is widely recognized as a pioneer in developing Filipino
psychology.
