Adolescents today face increasing moral and social challenges such as identity confusion, declining empathy, and exposure to violence. Data from the National Commission for Child Protection recorded 4,388 cases of violence against children, most involving psychological and social aggression. This alarming figure underscores the urgency for culturally grounded and philosophically responsive counseling approaches. This study aims to analyze the integration of local wisdom values embodied in Duke Ronggolawe within the practice of Peace Bibliocounseling as an effort to strengthen adolescent character. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by PRISMA, the study reviewed 24 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 discussing folklore-based bibliocounseling and the application of local cultural values in guidance and counseling. The findings reveal that folktales inspired by local wisdom particularly those featuring Duke Ronggolawe effectively internalize values of justice, integrity, empathy, and courage. Folklore-based bibliocounseling improves adolescents’ self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and conflict-resolution skills. Moreover, sociodrama techniques rooted in cultural values help prevent negative behaviors and promote tolerance and peace. Overall, integrating local wisdom within a postmodern counseling framework offers an innovative, transformative, and culturally meaningful approach to adolescent character education.
