A hermeneutic phenomenological approach is utilized for this qualitative study that sought to understand the Filipino value nakakaluwag that is embedded in the shared beliefs and embodied in the shared-practices. In the final analysis and reflection: “anumang nakapag-uugnay sa Diyos, sa kapwa, sa sarili at sa kalikasan ay nakakapagpaluwa sa buhay” (relationships with God, others, oneself and nature make for a life of ease).
