FILIPINO VS AMERICAN
Part 2
Kapwa (fellow being)
by Alicia Lalicon

This is a series of four articles about my experiences as a Filipino American.
Each article will focus on a certain core value believed to characterize
Filipinos. The inspiration for this series comes from Filipino American
Psychology by Kevin L. Nadal, an influential professor, psychologist, activist
and author who has brought attention to the lack of representation and
academic research on the Filipino community.
