Nakaluluwag or nakakaluwag (variants: nakakaluwang or nakaluluwang) is a Filipino ethic wherein the well-off are socially and morally obligated to help those in need. In Hiligaynon, the term is nakaalwan. It comes from the blending of the Chinese concept of wo (peace and harmony),[1] the Malay culture of familiarity even to distant relatives and other clan members,[2][failed verification] and the Christian teaching of helping the poor.
