뜻
Doing good makes people happy.
문화적 배경
This proverb is often taught in 'Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao' (Values Education) classes in Philippine schools. It reflects the ideal of being a 'Mabuting Tao' (Good Person). The proverb is the verbal expression of 'Bayanihan' (community spirit). When people help move a house or clean a street, they are living this proverb. Many Filipinos associate 'mabuting gawa' with religious merit (charity), believing that what pleases 'lahat' (everyone) also pleases God. The 'lahat' in the proverb refers to 'Kapwa'—the shared self. Doing good to others is doing good to a part of yourself.
