Preamble

the Preamble of the Constitution into concrete action in building a better Philippines.

-Came from the latin word "PREAMBULARE" meaning "TO WALK BEFORE".

-It is the Prologue of the Constitution.

-It is clustered into 4 groups: The Maka-Diyos, The Maka-Tao, The Maka-Bayan, and The Maka-Kalikasan.

MEANING

The Maka-Diyos Cluster

Maka-Diyos

Faith in the almighty god

The Bible says, "But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrew 11:6)

Respect for life

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for
corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if
he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then
indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. (5:32 Qur'an)

Order
Assuredly, we have sent down the Book to you in right form for the the good of man. Whoso guided
himself by it does so to his own advantage, and whoso turns away from it does so at his own loss. You
certainly are not their keeper. (39:41 Qur'an)

work

Confucius says, "Give fish to a man, he will have food to eat for a day; teach him how to fish and he shall
have food throughout his lifetime." And, "if man will not work, he shall not eat." (Thessalonians 3:10)

concern for the family and future generations

"The family is an essential factor in the general, social and even political life. Constant living together of
husband and wife, and of parents and children, contributes to the development of a strong sense of
duty, of an aptitude for heroic sacrifices, and of the love by future generations of the traditional and
moral conquests of those who preceded them. The family is an indispensable element of social cohesion
and equilibrium.

I shall live a life that is based on the right values and serve as an inspiration to others who may be
struggling to strengthen their own faith in god.

1. I have the gift of faith in God;

2. The gift of faith in God in me needs to be nurtured;

3. My life is strengthened by my faith in God; and

4. A strong faith in God, coupled with other important values, will improve my life and those of others

The Maka-Tao Cluster
