This paper explores the thoughts of Emerita Quito, Claro Ceniza, Florentino Timbreza, and Rolando Gripaldo as contributions of De La Salle University to the development of Filipino philosophy in the cultural sense. These philosophy mentors are selected based on their textual productivity and on the fact that they retired from DLSU as full professors. Filipino philosophy in this paper is limited to the following discourses: logical analysis, phenomenology/existentialism/hermeneutics, critical philosophy as an academic method; appropriation of foreign theories; appropriation of folk philosophy, revisionist writing, interpretation of Filipino worldview, research on Filipino values and ethics, identification of the presuppositions and implications of the Filipino worldview, and the study on Filipino philosophical luminaries. This exploration concludes with some assessments of the aforementioned philosophers’ more specific impact on Filipino philosophy.
