Aside from being and academic and researcher, the philosopher also faces a huge challenge of being a critique of the inhabited world. It is the aim of this paper to present a style of philosophical crtique based on the works of Romualdo E. Abulad (“maka-Abulad”), a possible development of critical Filipino philosophy. The article begins with an assessment of the current state of the discourse on Filipino philosophy—this is done by revisiting important moments in the history of critical Filipino philosophy. Next, a comprehensive discussion regarding the method and themes of Abulad’s style of critique is provided. This involves an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Abulad’s critical philosophy. It is worthwhile to examine the existing methods of critique in Filipino philosophy because this can initiate the development of an original crtical consciousnees that will undergird Filipino philosophy
