Indigenous psychologies are psychologies that developed during the second half of the 20th century as a reaction to Western psychology's domination. This text reviews some concepts of Filipino indigenous psychology (Sikolohiyang Pilipino) as they are presented in English-written works of Filipino authors. Filipino psychology developed many indigenous concepts, like kapwa, pakikiramdam, utang-na-loób, and hiya, as well as several indigenous research methods, like pakapa-kapa or pagtatanong-tanong. Concepts of Filipino psychology are often somehow related to social processes and relationships among people, so the discipline could be considered Filipino social psychology. Its methods are similar to Western methods, but Filipino psychology insists on methodological sovereignty to relieve themself from colonialism. It is argued that Filipino psychology concepts are an example of social psychology taken as a scientific discipline, dependent on the context. If categorized into social psychological disciplines, most Filipino concepts belong to the study of social relationships, pakikiramdam could be categorized as social cognition, and utang-na-loób as belonging to attitude studies. For Czech readers, Filipino psychology is a key example of how to decolonize psychological research.
