Abstract

This study in general was sought to build a theory on how the stakeholders are involved and propelled successful SBM planning and implementation. The study utilized a qualitative research design since the goal of the study is centered on understanding a phenomenon in the successful SBM perused as to why it is effective hence, gleaned in multiple perspectives of the actors that propel its success. The SBM implementation in the school manifests the relationship of the stakeholders with each other. It can be described as transparent, collaborative, empowering, emphatic, and supportive. In looking closer at these traits, it reveals a connection to the concept of Filipino personhood or Kapwa. Their experience in implementing SBM is a piece of existential evidence that exposed a reflection of Filipino personhood. The stakeholders were able to identify themselves in the affairs of the school and ushered a communal identity that propelled them to exhibit their sense of kagandahang loob and pakikiramdam which radiates the spirit of Kapwa. SBM is existential evidence of Filipino personhood and resurgent of the original concept of Filipino community schools.  The manifestation of Filipino personhood among community development endeavors can be revisited to generate indigenous strategies in community action. Research may be conducted to identify means to strengthen stakeholder’s participation, anchored on the indigenous strategies in community action.
