<P> According to the anthropologist Leonardo Mercado, the Filipino worldview is basically' nondualistic' . Based on his linguistic analyses of Filipino value terms like loob (Cebuano buot), he concludes that Filipinos desire harmony, not only in interpersonal relationships, but also with nature and religion, while still remaining nondichotomous . </P> <P> "The Filipino wants to harmonize the object and the subject, while at the same time holding both as distinct ." </P> <P> Florentino Timbreza, a cultural philosopher, concludes in his book Pilosopiyang Pilipino (1982) that Filipino values are based on the significance of the world to man . Life experiences dictate the philosophy of the Filipino, augmented by other sources like proverbs, folk sayings, folk tales, and the like . </P> <P> F. Landa Jocano identified two models of the Filipino value system . The first is the exogenous model or the foreign model, while the second is the indigenous model or the traditional model . The foreign model is described to be a "legal and formal" model . The indigenous model is described as a "traditional and non-formal" model or guide but is deeply embedded in the subconscious of the Filipinos . </P>
