12. Amor Propio
•“Amor propio” is a Spanish
word which means self- love;
a sense of self- esteem or self
respect that prevents a person
from swallowing his pride.
•It includes sensitivity to
personal insult or affront. A
slight remark or offensive
gesture, though insulting,
would not trigger a sense of
“amor propio”. The stimulus
that sets it off is only that
which strikes at the Filipino’s
most highly valued attributes.

“procastination” in
English and “mamaya
na” in Filipino.
