𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚|1𝒔𝒕 𝑨𝒖𝒈𝒖𝒔𝒕 2026 2:00𝒑𝒎, we 𝑱𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 a 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 about the 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒆 of 𝑭𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 on 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒔—𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐎-𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘𝐀.
In the meeting, we talked about the questions being ask including "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥?" It all started on our 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗼 and 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆𝗮 and "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮?" we all know the answer, that we all come from God, through image and Integrity of Creation by God.
The message that marked in our mind is 𝐷𝑟. 𝑁𝑖𝑐𝑎 𝐶. 𝑇𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑔 statement that being 𝗠akatao is having a 𝗘mpathy and 𝗠alasakit or 𝗖ompassion, about 𝗠akatao, that it is also the fundaments of the generation. Having knowledge and success does not measure how makatao you are but has the ability to understand, care, and spread the love to other people because being Makatao only started in Empathy by putting themselves into other's situation.
𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗼 represents ourselves as part of our society and human being itself. It also stands how we interact or connect with our family or also refer as 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬𝗔, just like 𝐷𝑟. 𝐿𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝐷𝐼𝑅. 𝑅𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎 stated that being makatao is existing, on how we treat our family in terms of having a dinner, do we eat with a proper communication? or we eat while holding a phone on our hand.
In addition, we also learned that in Makatao, it includes our morality by having 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 and 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝓔mpathy is the action on how we express our feeling and concern and fitting our foot on other's shoes, while 𝓒ompassion is the feeling we are about to express. This only tells us that we should face our life by being 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗢 not just being a person but a human being with a 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 Itself especially on how we treat our acquaintance, elders and 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬𝗔.
