Nibalvos, M.A San Beda University Abstract: Lydia P. De la Rosa argues that “Values are expressed specially in literature.” Based on this claim, the researcher attempted to identify Filipino values in selected siday (or Lineyte-Samarnon poems) written by “paragsiday” (or poets) in the town of San Julian, Eastern Samar. This research used three theories on values in analyzing the poems: the classification of Filipino values developed by Timbreza in 2003; the taxonomy of values developedby Bulatao, Gorospe, Cordero, Paterno and Crisol; and Schwartz’s Theory of Basic Human Values in 1992. Intertextual Analysis was also used to help evaluate the Filipino values that are contained in the poems. Twenty-two values were determined from the ten Lineyte-Samarnon poems. Nineteen of these are classified as Recurring Filipino Values or values typically possessed by Filipinos or San Juliananons, while three values were not included in any classification or theory. These values are: listening to advise, giving importance to the elderly, and concern for the youth. These are the Emerging Filipino Values or values unique to San Juliananons as Filipinos or to the Filipinos.
