The Pagdadala Model

The Pagdadala Model is a perspective developed by
Dr. Edwin Decenteceo (1997), a Clinical Psychologist.
He continues to use this perspective in his work with
poor communities. This model has the following
aspects: ang dinadala, ang nagdadala, ang pagdadala,
ang pinagdaanan, ang patutunguhan, ang
pagdadaanan, ang pinagdadaanan, ang pagpapatuloy,
ang pagtanggap, & ang pagharap. Decenteceo says
that ang dinadala is about tasks, responsibilities, and
relationships.

Dinadala (The burden).
• Refers this to roles, responsibilities,

relationship, and experiences.
• Basic question: Ano ang dinadala mo?

RELATIONSHIP

RESPONSIBILITIES
KARANASAN

Nagdadala (The burden bearer)
• This aspect describes how a person understands

himself/herself.
• Basic question: Sino ang nagdadala?

Pagdadala (The manner by which the burden bearer
carries the burden).
This explains the manner by which a person carries the
burden.
Basic question: Paano mo dinadala?

IBA-IBANG PAGDADALA

Pinagdaanan (The past of the burden bearer)
• A person looks back to past experiences.
• Basic Question: Ano ang mga pinagdaanan mo?

Patutunguhan (The destination of the burden bearer).

carries his/her burden.
Basic question: Saan mo dadalhin ang iyong dinadala?

Pagdadaanan (The path of the burden bearer).
This emphasizes the plan or strategy of a person or group
for bringing a relationship, role or responsibility to its
desired state or vision.
Basic question: Ano ang pagdadaanan mo sa iyong
patutunguhan?

Pinagdadaanan (The experiences of the bearer on the
way to the destination).
• This refers to the day-to-day events that affect the burden

bearing.
• Ano ang mga pinagdadaanan mo ngayon?

Pagpapatuloy (The decision to move on)
• At certain point, a person makes a decision whether to

continue or not in a journey.
• Basic Question: Magpapatuloy pa ba ako?

Pagtanggap (The decision to accept)
• A person makes a conscious or unconscious decision to

accept or not to accept.
