“Amor propio” is Spanish word which

 means self –love; a sense of self-esteem
or self respect that prevents a person
from swallowing his pride. It includes
sensitivity to personal insult or affront. A
slight remark or offensive gesture, though
insulting, would not trigger a sense of
“amor propio”. The stimulus that sets it
off is only that which strikes at the
Filipino’s most highly valued attributes.
For example, an abandoned wife will
refuse to seek financial support from a
husband who has abandoned her no matter
how financially destitute she is on this
principle. Amor propio in short means ego
defensiveness, dignity or one’s personal
pride akin to the traditional oriental
attitude of having ‘face’.
