Typically Filipino (XVII) - Typisch Philippinisch (XVII): "Utang na Loob" - Schuld des inneren Selbst

 


Pakikisama vermittelt sich über persönliche Gefälligkeiten, genannt UTANG NA LOOB, wörtlich "Schuld des inneren Selbst".  UTANG NA LOOB ist eine komplizierte und weitreichende Angelegenheit , denn man muss seine persönlichen Verpflichtungen mit Zinsen zurückzahlen. Und da diese Art von Schulden sich aber nicht in genauen Zahlen berechnen läßt, entsteht so eine sich wendlose windende und ausweitende Spirale, die ein ziemlich verflochtenes Netz gegenseitiger Abhängigheiten aufgrund von UTANG NA LOOB webt. 

Pakikisama is conveyed through personal favors and really does blame the inner self. UTANG NA LOOB is a complex and far-reaching business because you have to repay your personal obligations with interest. Since this type of debt cannot be calculated in exact numbers, the result is a turn loosely winded and expand the spiral that weaves a fairly intertwined network of mutual dependencies due UTANG NA LOOB.




In seinen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen ist jeder Filipino einem anderen durch UTANG NA LOOB verbunden und vice versa. 

UTANG NA LOOB geschichtlich betrachtet ist ein anderes Thema und wird im nächsten Kapitel behandelt.

Historiker und Politikwissenschaftler behaupten, die politischen Führer der Philippinen hatten sich bei den Verhandlungen zwischen den USA und den Philippinen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg selbst in eine unvorteilhafte Ausgangslage versetzt, weil sie die amerikanische "Befreiung" der Philippinen von Japan unter den Vorzeichen von UTANG NA LOOB bewerteten.

Historians and political scientists claim the political leaders of the Philippines had out themselves in an unfavorable position in the negotiations between the USA and the Philippines after WW II because they assessed the American liberation  of the Philippines from Japan under the auspices of UTANG NA LOOB.

Increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Visayas, Mindanao flagged anew

 By: Analou de Vera

The Department of Health (DOH) once again flagged the increasing number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in Visayas and Mindanao.

DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III said that they were closely monitoring the situation in those areas.

“Nagpapakita ang Visayas ng pagtaas kung saan Region 6 ang may pinakamabilis na pagtaas lalong lalo na po ang siyudad ng Iloilo (Visayas is showing a rise in cases with Region 6 having the fastest increase especially in Iloilo City),” said the Health chief during the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday night, May 26.

“At ganun din sa Mindanao, Regions 9 and 10 ang may pinakamalaking itinaas habang tumataas din ang natitirang rehiyon (And also in Mindanao, Regions 9 and 10 recorded the biggest increase, while the cases in other regions are also rising),” he added.

Meanwhile, coronavirus cases in the National Capital Region and “the rest of Luzon continue to decline but at a slower pace.”

In his key message, Duque stated that “we cannot solely rely on the implementation of ECQ (enhanced community quarantine) and MECQ (modified enhanced community quarantine)” to curb the rising number of cases.

“Sa tuwing magpapatupad tayo ng enhanced community quarantine malaki po ang negatibong epekto nito sa ating ekonomiya at kabuhayan ng mamamayan natin (Every time we implement an enhanced community quarantine, it creates a negative impact on our economy and the livelihood of our people),” he said.

He noted that minimum public health standards and safety protocols must be “well implemented to counter potential surges in the future.”

“Hinihingi din namin ang tulong ng ibang mga sektor partikular na ang ating transportation, trade, and tourism, among others upang siguraduhin po na ligtas at protektado ang ating mga mamamayan (We also seek the help of other sectors particularly our transportation, trade, and tourism, among others, to ensure that our citizens are safe and protected),” said Duque.
