KAPWA.

In Filipino culture, kapwa (pronounced "kahp-wah") means "shared identity" or "togetherness," representing a profound concept of interconnectedness where an individual's well-being is intrinsically linked to that of others. It goes beyond simple empathy, embodying the belief that "my joy, my struggle, my healing is bound to yours," fostering a sense of collective responsibility and unity that forms the basis of Filipino indigenous psychology.
