Abstract

The human centric approach to growth and development is grounded on the rational nature of persons who are inclined to doing good, and even choosing the higher good among many choices. The act of making a choice is influenced by family background, social interactions, educational levels, experience in the field of work and conditions that are within the socio-cultural realm. Nation building is only possible if the value-laden human centric approach is adapted in decisions that have repercussions in daily existence. The Philippines, with its 100m constituents, is a home to Filipino cultural values. In this paper, malasakit is one of the values that define the way of showing concern to others. If imbibed in each Filipino, human capital development will further nation building. Through a comprehensive definition of human capital development, this paper will explore the socio-cultural issues with a person-centered approach towards nation building. Keywords: human capital, human capital development, Filipino cultural values, education, human-centric
