How to be human(e) and other important questions in Sikolohiyang Pilipino: Personal reflections and narratives
In this brief presentation, I aim to present an overview of Sikolohiyang Pilipino (SP) based on my personal and professional involvements in the field as a teacher, researcher, and advocate. I will share (a) what I’ve learned about indigenizing Psychology and why the Philippine case still has a long way to go; (b) some of the tensions in the field (e.g., What language shall we use? Can outsiders contribute? Is SP a science or a movement?); and (c) some of the interesting questions in SP that I’ve tried (or have yet to try) to answer in my own work (e.g., what does it mean to be a good person in the Philippines?). I will end with a personal vision of change for SP (i.e., A Philippine psychology that advances human rights & well-being), potentials for collaborations, and possible ways forward.
