Abstract

Cultural values represent the core beliefs, norms, and practices that shape the identity and behavior of individuals within a specific community. Understanding these values is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, fostering social cohesion, and promoting cross-cultural understanding. This study aimed to explore the influence of the Manobo's literary pieces from their tribes and their relation to cultural values, including language preservation as one way of preserving their culture. The researchers employed a cultural values framework to comprehend and examine its cultural values. This qualitative study utilized research corpora, which we collected and analyzed. The researchers collected five (5) literary genres of the Manobo tribe: Songs, Riddles, Proverbs, Stories, and poems. The significant findings revealed the values embedded in the Manobo literary pieces, which prove that they have a substantial impact on the Manobo community from their generation past to the next generation. Thus, the collected literary texts are well-founded from the cultural values depicting humility, strong faith, and patriotism. The significant findings revealed the values embedded in the Manobo literary pieces, which prove that they have a substantial impact on the Manobo community from their generation past to the next generation.

Abstract

In a world filled with noise and uncertainty, literature like Max Ehrmann’s “Desiderata” offers timeless guidance for living with purpose, balance, and inner peace. This study analysed Max Ehrmann’s prose poem "Desiderata" using a didactic literary approach to investigate its moral and philosophical teachings, establishing a connection between its linguistic elements and Carol Ryff’s Psychological Well-being model in promoting eudaimonia. Addressing a gap in existing scholarship, this study is novel in examining “Desiderata” as a didactic literary piece, revealing how it systematically imparts moral and philosophical guidance to foster the development of eudaimonia. A qualitative linguistic analysis, guided by Carol Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being framework and employing a didactic literary approach, has been used as the primary methodology of this study. After a thorough analysis, the study revealed that “Desiderata” promotes the six components of Ryff’s psychological well-being, which are personal growth, self-acceptance, autonomy, environmental mastery, positive relationships, and purpose in life, through its moral and philosophical guidance. The findings suggest that the poem retains social relevance across generations by promoting emotional resilience, authenticity, and inner peace in response to shifting moral standards. The study further recommends integrating literary texts, such as “Desiderata”, into values education to promote psychological well-being and moral development. By emphasizing moral reflection and psychological well-being through literature, this study contributes to the broader educational aim of nurturing the holistic development of learners, in harmony with the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4): Quality Education.

Abstract

This study investigates how Indigenous languages serve as vehicles for cultural preservation by examining the Blaan and Manobo languages through an ethnolinguistic lens, with particular attention to their syntactic and semantic structures. Employing a qualitative approach, the research conducted detailed textual analyses of traditional songs, proverbs, and oral narratives to uncover linguistic patterns that encode cultural values, social norms, and communal knowledge. Findings reveal that both languages predominantly exhibit a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order, with songs employing simpler sentence structures to facilitate memorability and communal performance, while proverbs utilize more complex syntactic constructions to convey nuanced moral and ethical lessons. Analysis further highlights the central role of divine and communal forces in shaping cultural narratives, demonstrating that language functions as a medium for transmitting knowledge, regulating social behavior, and sustaining the interconnected relationship among society, nature, and spiritual beliefs. Beyond linguistic structure, the study underscores the broader significance of Indigenous language preservation for educational inclusion, empowerment of marginalized communities, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). The research advocates for future investigations into community-led language revitalization initiatives and the strategic use of digital technologies to support the documentation, teaching, and continued vitality of Indigenous languages, reinforcing their role as critical instruments for identity, knowledge transmission, and social equity.
