Understanding The Philosophy of Buot-loob - Nakem - 4 0 16; Mercado, Leonardo N.; 5 Scientia. 6:2 (December 2017. pp. 1-10
ABSTRACT : What is Loob, buot, nakem and its other Philippine counterparts? we think that the English translation equivqlent is the inner se;f. This inner self embraces loob as the intellect, will the feelings. Theyare also connected to the physical . Kalooban embraces the entire self. it is holistic and interior. It is non-compartmentalized. in other words, kalooban is the inner self. We have three concetric circles pertaining to the inner self, starting from the outermost, namely, body, soul and spirit. these three components are not compartmentalized but act as one. Inthe second concentric circle, the filipino does not compartmentalize thinking, willing, feeling and being ethical. in the third concetric circle again we see here the principle of holism, that kalooban embraces the holistic inner self.
