Speakers Mx. Carl Cervantes and Ms. Laeilani Arocha delved into the aspects of collectivism and individualism present in Filipino society, spotlighting the reasons for the current divide among Filipinos in terms of their culture and beliefs. Furthermore, discussed were paths that the students can take in order to make a change within the current national environment.
