- It is a feeling of obligation to repay someone who extended assistance to another which may take place in undetermined time
- This is expressed in a popular Filipino saying, ‘‘Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.”
- Ang pakikiramay ay isang mahalagang pamantayan ng kapwa, lalo na sa panahon ng krisis. Sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, boluntaryong ginagawa ang hindi karaniwan upang makibahagi sa dalamhati ng iba (Jocano 1997).

- Sometimes, we show our pakikiramay through our intense and continuing prayers for one, but also through our personal time, talents, and treasures.
