Utang na Loob is a Filipino value that is often construed as a cultural norm or a personal virtue that hinges on the individual's understanding of it and its application. Despite multiple dimensions of utang na loob having been identified by previous studies, there is a significant lack of studies of this value in the context of firstborn Filipino children and their familial relations which this research study aims to address through a semi-structured interview of ten (10) participants ranging from ages 19-22. The data collected were analyzed in an inductive approach through qualitative data analysis. The findings of the study reflect the similar views of participants on utang na loob and its relation to their familial relationships which fall under any of the following categories: utang na loob as imposed obligation, utang na loob as debt for life, and utang na loob as gratitude. There is a trend found in the participants' answers about their roles and familial obligations. The results of the study imply that imposing and demanding utang na loob among firstborn children have led to negative perceptions and negative effects. Nonetheless, utang na loob that arose out of gratitude maintains utang na loob as a value. Furthermore, findings show that since intrafamily utang na loob is manifested through familial obligations, firstborn children are faced with imposed obligations that may provide guidance and direction for the children, but can also often lead to pressure and burden.
