Our Motivations

Our Motivations

Utang na loob, also known as debt of gratitude, is a Filipino value that refers to an individual’s commitment to repaying people who have assisted them. Throughout the years, this value has been used either in an appreciative or abusive manner, which has come to affect millennial breadwinners.

With this project, we aim to explore how utang na loob can affect different Filipino breadwinners, creating opportunities for more discussion on how utang na loob can both be positive and negative.
