Social Mimesis Pedagogies are pedagogies emerging from social practices (e.g., livelihood, habits, lifestyles). The paper aims to highlight the pedagogical ideas of Filipino educators and contribute to the discourse of Filipino pedagogies by documenting and highlighting a developing trend among Filipino educators of being inspired and reflective of social practices resulting in the development of pedagogical frameworks. The research utilizes a documentary research method that reviews basic documents and sources from their respective proponents. For ethical purposes, the author requested the proponents to read the final article for the additional elucidation of their ideas and concepts. The research identified three elements in the development of these Filipino pedagogies from social mimesis: inspiration (moved by or influenced by); reflection (deliberate thinking and inference); and adaptation (written for education or expressed in a pedagogical form). Filipino pedagogies are localized pedagogies that reflect social practices. The study recommends to further inquire into these attempts of Filipino educators.
