Moreover, this proposes to view and analyze the Visayan philosophy of labor within the context of the Visayan notion of <em>kahimtang</em>. The researchers believe that the word <em>kahimtang</em> can be viewed as a combination of three words <em>ka</em>, <em>himu</em> and<em> butang</em>, in which <em>himu</em> connotes a concept of work. Furthermore, within the compatibilist minds of the Visayan, <em>himu</em> (labor) plays a significant role to redirect one’s <em>kahimtang</em>. Work (labor), for the Visayan, is an essential expression of freedom which has a similar expression to JPII’s Philosophy of Labor.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Recoletos Multidisciplinary Research Journal}, author={Acampado, Arian G. and Pajares, Glenn G.}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={53–65} }
