Abstract
Absence of creativity has been existing ever since in the world history. During the
medieval period, the people lacked creativity and only used the mechanisms that were
created by the generations before. Violence helped noblemen rise to define themselves
while the creative ones took generations to build a cathedral because they only cared about
glorifying God (brightkite.com). Similarly, some of the poorest countries in Asia are poor
because they lack creativity and inventions that help them to have convenient living. Also,
Filipinos are lack of creativity because of being known as great imitator. From the National
local level, problems in recognizing creativity brought to sluggish progress of the economy.
Thoroughly, creativity is defined as "the ability to produce work that is both novel (i.e.,
original, unexpected) and appropriate (i.e., useful, adaptive concerning task constraints)"
(Sternberg and Lubart, 1999). According to Oxford Dictionary, “significance is the quality
of being worthy of attention; importance”. Moreover, bounteous attention to creativity can
lead to more inventions and discoveries that is useful human civilization.
In line with this, A 2012 Adobe study on creativity shows 8 in 10 people feel that
unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of respondents
feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority – only 1 in 4 people – believe
they are living up to their own creative potential.
Furthermore, the 1987 Philippine Constitution Article IV Section 3 (2) states that
“They shall encourage critical and creative thinking. However, the lack of recognition of
creativity within policy documentation, may prompt professionals to create pedagogic
routines, boundaries and timetables which obscure the personal, affective and creative
dimensions of teaching and learning, fostering ‘a mind-set characterized more by
compliance and conformity than curiosity and creativity’ (Cremin, 2010:19)
A literature review undertaken during the 2009 European Year of Creativity and
Innovation (Ferrari et al., 2009) offered a rationale for creative learning and innovative
teaching across the European Union as a core element in the development of the 21st
century knowledge society contributing to economic prosperity and also individual and
social well-being. Similarly, IBM’s 2010 Global CEO Study stated: The effects of rising
complexity calls for CEOs and their teams to lead with bold creativity, connect with
customers in imaginative ways and design their operations for speed and flexibility to
position their organizations for twenty-first century success.
Hence, this study serves as the validation or a proof on the importance of creativity
and aims to give solution to those people who haven’t recognized the significance of
creativity to their self and to the community that they belong. It will answer the question
how creativity can affect the development of Philippine Normal University students and
how it would affect to their school. Likewise, the upshot of this study can affect the
community of Barangay Mal-ay and the town of Lopez,Quezon . Having its result could
also have the impact to Province of Quezon and to the Philippines as well. From this
research, Asia and the World can use this as one of their references to gain information on
contributions of creativity in the development of one’s community.
A common view was that creative ability is something that only few people possess,
and that true creative performance can only be displayed by a small minority of people
(Sternberg &Lubart, 1999) This research paper “Exploring beyond imagination: The
Significance of Pagkamalikhain (Filipino Creativity) to Lopez Community” will open the
door of horizon to search on the far side of imagination.

to certain behavior patterns or attitudes (Zurmuehlen, 1981). Hence, the descriptive survey

students and twelve (12) faculty and personnel. Also, some data were based on the selected
residents of Barangay Mal-ay. The researchers used purposive sampling. Parahoo
(1997:232) describes purposive sampling as “a method of sampling where the researcher
deliberately chooses who to include in the study based on their ability to provide necessary
data.

supported by the related literatures and 2) Interview Guide which compromises 18
questions patterned by five W’s and one H. The instruments had undergone the test of

because it gives big income to his family. Also, the business renders service to
the community of Mal-ay and provides leisure time to his costumers. In putting
