What is Kapwa?

Kapwa (Tagalog)

[kap-wa]

noun.

kindred; fellow human; neighbor

“Kapwa is a Tagalog term widely used when addressing another with the intention of establishing a connection. It reflects a viewpoint that beholds the essential humanity recognizable in everyone, therefore linking (including) people rather than separating (excluding) them from each other.”

-from Kapwa: The Self in the Other, Worldviews and Lifestyles of Filipino Culture-Bearers by Dr. Katrin de Guia
