“…Sikolohiyang Pilipino is a native 'epistemology' that emphasises Filipino culture as source, providing a 'perspective' that is both liberated from and liberating of Western influences (predominantly those of the US). Likewise, it is a 'movement' that seeks to overcome Euro/Western-centric neocolonial thought and structures present in local knowledge production (San Juan, 2006). Sikolohiyang Pilipino privileges the aspirations of all Filipinos, especially of the non-elite and indigenous peoples, through the body of knowledge it presents for the construction of Filipino socio-cultural realities, national identity, consciousness and worldview (Pe-Pua & Protacio-Marcelino, 2000).…”

“…Rather it is maka-Pilipino (Lavides, Waring, Hanna, & Nakhid, 2018;Santiago & Enriquez, 1976). In other words, it is a psychology of, and developed by and for, the Filipino (San Juan, 2006), promoting the interests of all Filipinos and their various life spheres (today, including tourism). Informed by this 'native epistemology', the decolonisation agenda fostered in this paper is grounded in three aspects: topical, theoretical, and methodological (Church & Katigbak, 2002).…”

Towards decolonising tourism and hospitality research in the Philippines

In recent years, scholars have focused their attention on demarcating the neocolonial situations that permeate the tourism and hospitality academy. The 'critical turn' in tourism studies called for the decolonisation of tourism and hospitality research. In this paper, I explore and challenge the state of tourism and hospitality research in the Philippines, by analysing the works of Filipino tourism and hospitality academics. Through a systematic quantitative literature review, I identify the research themes investigated by Filipino scholars on Philippine tourism and hospitality and examine the methodologies and epistemologies employed in the selected research outputs. The findings indicate that colonial legacies and neocolonial situations are strongly present in Philippine tourism and hospitality knowledge production. To challenge these scenarios, I suggest a decolonial agenda informed by Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino psychology), a native epistemological perspective. This article serves as a contribution to the epistemological decolonisation of tourism knowledge production in Asian contexts.

“…With this background, and maybe influenced by the massive liberation of African states from colonialism in the 1960s, in the 1970s there was a wave of nationalism in the Philippines which influenced the demand for indigenization of psychology. Many authors (e.g., Church & Katigbak, 2002;Gastardo-Conaco, 2005;Pe-Pua, 2015;Pe-Pua & Protacio-Marcelino, 2000;San Juan, 2006) have described the development of IP in the Philippines. D. Sinha (1997) argued that the indigenization of psychology in the Philippines was the strongest in Asia.…”

“…Furthermore, an important aim of SP is to correct previous conceptions of the "national traits" of the Filipino human being. San Juan (2006) observed that this implies that "the natives have suddenly bolted from slumber, it seems, and have begun to interpolate their own translation, and, in effect, represent themselves" (p. 50).…”

The Nature and Challenges of Indigenous Psychologies

The indigenous psychologies (IPs) stress the importance of research being grounded in the conditions and culture of the researcher's own society due to the dominance of Western culture in mainstream psychology. The nature and challenges of IPs are discussed from the perspectives of science studies and anthropology of knowledge (the study of human understanding in its social context). The Element describes general social conditions for the development of science and IPs globally, and their development and form in some specific countries. Next, some more specific issues relating to IPs are discussed. These issues include the nature of IPs, scientific standards, type of culture concept favored, views on the philosophy of science, understanding of mainstream psychology, generalization of findings, and IPs' isolation and independence. Finally, conclusions are drawn, for example with respect to the future of IP.

“…Filipino psychology or Sikolohiyang Pilipino (SP) was first developed by Virgilio Enriquez as a response to the dominant usage of Western psychology in various academic and clinical settings in the Philippines (Church & Katigbak, 2002;Montiel & Teh, 2004;San Juan, 2006). Filipino scholars have criticized the application of some of the Western models of psychology, indicating that its usage promoted "intellectual dependence" (Church & Katigbak, 2002, p. 130) and "academic imperialism" (p. 130).…”

Studies on women's experiences as correspondence or Internet brides that were conducted used survey instruments, interviews, and other tests created and normed on U.S. populations. This study specifically examined the experiences of Filipina women who have utilized an international dating agency or other venues to meet their husbands. It attempted to phenomenologically extract the essence of this population's experiences as correspondence or Internet brides. Phenomenological analysis was conducted on the experiences of seven Filipina correspondence or Internet brides. Fortyfour categories were determined and collapsed into eight broad themes: connection with the Filipino culture while acculturating to U.S. culture, negotiating the self, importance of family, correspondence experiences, connecting with her husband, resilience, betrayal, and the importance of one's socioeconomic status. The women's experiences were comparable with the previous literature, including the dichotomy with gender roles, the need to maintain harmony in their marital relationships, and maintaining a sense of independence.
