This article explores the Christian tradition's handed down heritage being encapsulated in the basic theological virtues: transforming faith, undying hope, and agapeic love as proclaimed by Paul in his letter to the church in Corinth. This life-giving tradition continues to be robust and a reliable source of living the faith and building up the Church in the midst of challenges that threaten both the legacy of faith and the integrity of cultural values in Philippine society. It is argued that the basic virtues are helpful and relevant to Filipino Christians whose present experiences beckon them to go back to the basics.
