MODULE 2

GOOD CITIZENSHIP VALUES

Overview:

As citizens of the Republic of the Philippines, our values as Filipinos define our identity
as people. As such, we must strictly impose these values on ourselves – regardless of age,
status or religion. We must see to it that we observe these values in all our actions, at all
times and in all circumstances. Embodying these values will not always be a piece of cake
but will bring great rewards for us and our country in the near future.

Good citizenship stimulates love of country making the seemingly gargantuan task of
building the nation easier. Through good citizenship, even the poor, the young, and the old
can contribute to nation building. Good citizenship likewise strengthens unity. As Filipinos,
we have our shared values which can be a strong force to unite us as people despite our
differences.Our nation is oftentimes in crisis. And at these times, people are suffering. By
being good citizens, we will not be a part of the problem instead, we will be a part of the
solution.

NSTP, as citizenship training, focuses on translating the good citizenship values as

reflected in the Preamble of the 1987 Philippine Constitution into concrete actions in building
a better Philippines.

Objectives:

At the end of this module, you should be able to:

• discuss the good citizenship values;
• identify some basic Filipino values;
• identify the Filipino values system; and,
• cite situations which Filipino values are depicted.

Course Materials:

A good Filipino citizen is one who plays an active and intelligent role as a member of
the community. The one who is responsible for his duties and obligations to the government
and society. The one who possesses the traits of respectfulness, courtesy, and consideration
for parents and elders and for others. The one who observes punctuality, promptness, and
good moral conduct.

Unit 1: The Maka-Diyos Cluster

1. Faith in the Almighty God – A good Filipino obeys God and lives according to His
teachings.

One of the identified strengths of the Filipino is their faith in God. In one way or
another, Filipinos have a basic concept of a Supreme Being who to them always gives a
beacon of hope no matter how bleak the current situation may be. This makes them
resilient, driven by great hope stemming from their faith in Someone whom they believe
has the power to deliver them from even the most miserable situation.

This is quite evident in the Filipinos’ response during the onslaught of disasters.
From disasters brought about by natural phenomenon such as earthquakes and storms
to manmade ones like the tragic garbage landslide in Payatas, the Filipino always bounces
back as if the disasters and tragedies did not happen.

It is also this trait that brings conviction to a Filipino not to do anything bad, for the
same Supreme Being who watches over him will be the same eyes who shall judge him
should he engage in wrongdoings.

2. Respect for Life – A good Filipino recognizes the absolute value of human life and the
human dignity of every person including himself.

Being pro-life means not engaging in abortion nor being in favor of it. Being pro-
life includes valuing other people – how they feel, what could harm their physical, mental,
moral, and spiritual well-being. Among the practices that show respect to others and their
dignity as a person are not smoking in public, not throwing litter which will cause accidents
or put their health in peril, not saying words that will hurt people and scar them for life.

Most importantly, being pro-life means valuing oneself and seeing oneself as a
person of great worth and value. When one respects life, he will take good care of his
hygiene, he is mindful of the things that he says about himself, and he will be careful not
to do things that will harm his moral, spiritual, physical, and social well-being.
.
3. Order – A good Filipino values orderliness.

Valuing order means respecting laws and procedures. By following these sets of
laws and/or procedure in the home, school, and the community as a whole, one respects
the human rights of others and invites excellence in everything one does.

Setting things in order could range from maintaining cleanliness in the home, to
coming to school on time, to falling in line, and to following traffic rules and regulations.

2
4. Work – A good Filipino values diligence and excellence in everything one does. He earns
an honest living and does not engage in crime and corruption. He goes to school on time,
does his homework, and participates in school activities. He does his best in everything
and is not contented with the mediocre.

As a worker, Filipinos are versatile, hardworking, and creative. In practically every

nation of the world, Filipinos are fast becoming valued business partners and treasured
workers. This could be attributed to the Filipinos’ inherent diligence, coupled with
authentic concern, and peppered with another good Filipino trait – his sense of humor.
Filipinos don’t mind taking on any kind of work and are great salesmen and negotiators.
Not to be taken negatively, the Filipino could make great sales pitches. He is good in
selling ideas. From the ordinary man on the street selling rags, to the businessman in his
Makati office trying to close a deal.

The Filipinos are likewise very creative. He is the only one who could sell
practically all parts of a chicken and name them creatively as well – a helmet for chicken’s
head; adidas for chicken feet, and betamax (after its shape) for chicken’s blood to name
a few. He could almost always find something to laugh about even in the harshest work
conditions.

5. Concern for the Family and Future Generations – A good Filipino looks after the welfare
of one’s family and the future generation. One helps in household chores, has a loving
relationship with all the members of the family, is kind and considerate to them, and shows
a good example to the younger members.

As the basic unit of society, the family is the child’s first glimpse of community, hence,
it is important that children are shown good examples in their respective homes early in
life. Whatever is learned from the family has big implications on how one is going to treat
other people in one’s community. Among the good practices that a family could adopt is
open communication. A child raised in a family which has maintained open
communication is most unlikely to turn to harmful influences for solutions to problem or for
affirmation.

Unit 2: The Maka-Tao Cluster

1. Love – A good Filipino looks after the good and welfare of one’s fellow human beings.

Love should always be the driving force when we want to achieve or do something.
This does not refer to romantic love alone. As a leader, family member, or a member of
the society, we can exercise the value of love. A heart motivated by love will always look
after other people’s welfare. This person is kind and compassionate, forgives offenses
and is not vengeful. This person has a sacrificial heart and is always willing to extend help
to the less fortunate.

A person filled with love will always see the goodness in every person. This does
not mean however that one will allow other people to look down upon him or trample on
his rights like a doormat. Instead, speaking the truth in love, he gently instructs the erring
person on the things that he is doing wrong.

If the wrongdoing involves violation of the law, he does not tolerate or cover up the
wrongdoing but submits the matter to the proper authorities. He remains supportive until
the person has corrected his erroneous ways.

2. Freedom – A good Filipino asserts one’s rights especially if it means being able to do the
right thing.

One respects the freedom of others; doesn’t impose one’s will on others; exercise
one’s freedom responsibly so that one will do no harm to anyone; does not use coercion
or intimidation to make others do what one wants them to do or what one wants them to
be.

3. Peace – A good Filipino lives and works in harmony with one’s fellow human beings.

A Filipino avoids violence as a way of settling disputes and looks for ways to
resolve conflict in a peaceful way. He maintains a harmonious relationship with others, at
home, at work, in the community; and helps clear out misunderstanding among friends
and family members.

A peace-loving Filipino stops conflict whenever and wherever one can. This
includes not passing gossip and unkind words around for the sake of socialization. One
understands that words and news blown out of proportion destroys friendships and
harmonious relationships and could ruin a person for life. When you are not part of the
problem nor part of the solution, even if the news is true – it is categorized as gossip.

One’s upbringing or the shortcomings of the community one lives in shouldn’t be

the gauging mechanism why one would observe peace. A peaceful person does not rely
on the absence of chaos to exercise peace.

4
 In the movie Magnifico, a supposedly simpleminded ordinary boy served as an
agent of peace. In the seemingly complicated world of adults looking after their own
interests or busy solving conflicts or fighting their own battles, Magnifico showed love,
compassion, and selflessness. In the end, his example became a catalyst of peace and
love in his family and the community he lives in. He showed them that in a world where
everyone is practically shouting, all it takes is a gentle, selfless voice to get everyone to
listen.

4. Truth – A good Filipino stands up for the truth and avoids intrigue and mudslinging and
values integrity in one’s life, family, work, and country. He observes proper pricing of goods
and does not patronize nor is he a cohort in fixing or bribing in business transactions. He
admits his mistakes and does something to correct his fault.

5. Justice – A good Filipino gives everyone their due even if it is difficult. He does not
oppress or take advantage of anyone. He is fair in all his dealings especially with the poor
and powerless, not getting more than what is rightfully his.

Unit 3: The Maka-Bayan Cluster

1. Unity – A good Filipino works with and cooperates with others.

Unity does not mean a group of people should act the same nor should they sport the
same hairstyle and wear the same clothing. Just imagine how chaotic it would be if
everyone wants and does the same thing. Unity means synergizing the different talents
and skills for the success of an endeavor.

A good team player does not promote intrigue, dissension and mistrust. One helps
others in the family, school, and community grow and is genuinely happy for the
achievements of the members of his team even if that means the spotlight is not on him.

2. Equality – A good Filipino treats others as brothers and sisters being children of one God
and one nation.

One does not give preferential treatment to the rich and the powerful; treats
everyone with respect regardless of status or position; and does not take advantage of
anyone because they are poor, ignorant, or powerless.

5
3. Respect for the Law and Government – A good Filipino obeys the laws of the land and
supports government programs.

From simply not engaging in vandalism, to following traffic rules; to reporting

lawbreakers, to promoting stability of the nation, a good Filipino submits to the laws of his
nation and will not engage in anything that will threaten one’s country.

4. Patriotism – A good Filipino places high regard for one’s country.

He considers what is good for the country in his words and actions. This includes
patronage of native products and promotion of his country.He is mindful not to do that
would give his country a bad image. He takes extra care not to say anything that would
malign the reputation of his country. Statements like “ganito talaga sa Pilipinas, hindi na
magbabago” or “huwag kayong pupunta sa Pilipinas kung ayaw nyong manakawan” are
sweeping derogatory statements that malign our country and us Filipinos as well.

Being patriotic includes choosing wisely whom to vote during elections. A good
Filipino does not sell one’s rights or dignity as a person but instead entrusts the country’s
welfare to the hands of someone whom he knows has the capacity to really govern well.

Knowing one’s national emblems like the Philippine National Anthem and the
Pledge of Allegiance to the Filipino Flag is also an act of patriotism. Below are the lyrics
of the Philippine National Anthem and the words of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Filipino
Flag.

Lupang Hinirang

Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan

Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo’y buhay
Lupang hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil
Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal
Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw nya, kalian pa ma’y di magdidilim
Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati’t pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay ng dahil sa yo

6
 Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat ng Pilipinas

Ako ay Pilipino, buong katapatang

nanunumpa sa watawat ng Pilipinas
At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan
Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang maka-Diyos,
makakalikasan at maka-bansa

5. Promotion of the Common Good – A good Filipino puts the welfare of the greater
number of people over one’s own.

A good Filipino is not greedy and selfish; instead, one considers the welfare of
others in everything one does. Good examples of this are businessmen who do not mind
foregoing the potential of earning a sizable income from a development plan if it means
endangering nature and people’s health. Further, one helps the less fortunate and goes
out of his way to engage in activities that will benefit his fellow human beings especially in
the area of poverty alleviation.

Unit 4: The Maka-Kalikasan Cluster

Concern for the Environment – A good Filipino conserves natural resources such as water,
land and air. One gets involved in efforts contributory to the welfare of the environment such
as planting trees and implementing proper waste segregation. One keeps his surroundings
clean, and does not throw garbage in canals and waterways.

We all like to do our share to help the environment. But as time goes on, we’re seeing
new environmental concerns. We all need to be ready and prepared to tackle the 5 main
environmental threats.

1. Biodiversity. Biodiversity is the most complex and vital feature of our planet. It is essentially
every living thing and ecosystem that makes up the environment. From the tallest giraffe to
the smallest microorganism, everything plays an important role in the maintenance of our
world.

7
 But with the increase in global warming, pollution, and deforestation, biodiversity is in
danger. Billions of species are going or have gone extinct all over the world. Some scientists,
in fact, are suggesting that we are in the beginning of a 6 th mass extinction, posing issues for
our planet and ourselves. Reducing our meat intake, particularly red meat, as well as making
sustainable choices can help to keep our planet running smoothly.

2. Water. Water pollution is a huge concern for us and our environment. Not only is polluted
water a huge financial strain but is also killing both humans and marine life. With oil spills, an
abundance of plastic waste and toxic chemicals entering our waterways, we’re damaging the
most valuable resource our planet has to offer.

By educating people on the causes and effects of water pollution, we can work
together to undo the damage humans have caused. Laws also need to change to make
pollution tougher, consistently across national borders.

3. Deforestation. We need plants and trees to survive. They provide oxygen, food, water and
medicine for everyone, all over the globe. But if deforestation continues at the rate it’s
occurring, we won’t have much of the valuable forestry left.

With natural wildfires, illegal logging and the mass amount of timber being harvested
for commercial use, our forests are decreasing at an alarming rate. As well as reducing our
supply of oxygen, the loss of forests is contributing around 15% of our greenhouse gas
emissions.To help, you can buy more recycled and organic products, limiting the amount of
paper and cardboard you use.

4. Pollution. Pollution is one of the primary causes of many of the other environmental
concerns, including climate change and biodiversity. All 7 key types of pollution – air, water,
soil, noise, radioactive, light, and thermal – are affecting our environment.

All types of pollution, and environmental concerns, are interlinked and influence one
another. So, to tackle one is to tackle them all. That’s why we need to work together, as a
community, to reduce the impact that pollution is having on our environment.

5. Climate Change. As pointed out by a recent UN report, without ‘unprecedented changes’

in our actions and behavior, our planet will suffer drastically from global warming in just 12
years. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change, trapping in the sun’s heat
and warming the surface of the earth. An increased ocean temperature is affecting the sea
life and ecosystems habituated there. The rise in global sea levels is shrinking our land,
causing mass floods and freak weather incidents across the world. If we continue as we are,
the world will suffer irreversibly.

Saying no to driving more will reduce your carbon footprint, as will switching off
electrical items when they’re not in use. More importantly, we need to educate the world on
the effects and severity of global warming, before it is too late.

Unit 5: The Filipino Values System

Before delving into the discussion of values – Filipino values, in particular – it is worth
analyzing the word itself. The word “value” has its root in the Latin word “valere” which means
to be strong and vigorous. This proceeds from the premise that a human person has to have
strength or valor in every endeavor. It is the basis on which his strength in facing the
challenges of life should be directed.

Dr. Tomas Q. D. Andres (1986) would define values as “things, persons, ideas or goals
which are important to life; anything which enables life to be understood, evaluated, and
directed.” On the other hand, Edgar Sheffield Brightman defines value as “whatever is liked,
prized, esteemed, desired approved, or enjoyed by anyone at any time. It is the actual
experience of enjoying a desired object or activity. Hence, value is an existing realization of
desire.”

Collectively, the values of a society would be the standards or principles for which an act
is judged to be what is right or wrong, correct or incorrect. As such, it is the goal set for every
member of the community to attain what is desirable. In other words, values in a society give
meaning and direction to every individual’s life and influence his human behavior. Based on
these definitions, we can say that values are those which are considered by the society as
desirable and important and have attained the status as moral impetus behind every action of
each member geared towards the desired end or goal.

Understanding Filipino Values

The characteristic that makes a Filipino vary from different society is his uniquely
blended culture and values from different influences. Filipino values, for reason of several
influences that shaped its identity, are bipolar like a coin that has two sides. They may either
be positive or negative in polarity. Let us take for example the value of utang na loob, or debt
of gratitude. The value of utang na loob, the altruistic drawing of interior goodness of a person
by returning a debt of gratitude, is by itself positive. However, when one is coerced to honor
a debt of gratitude and return the favor, then it becomes negative.

9
 Due to this ambivalence of Filipino values, they have the potential of being used for good
or evil. They may either help or hinder personal and national development, depending on how
they are understood or practiced or lived. In order to shape the Filipino society into a
successful and progressive nation, there is a need to reevaluate the different values that
influence every Filipino individual’s action to a set of circumstances. We need to identify the
positive side of every Filipino value and develop them in order to yield a more successful and
developed society.

According to factsanddetails.com and Philippines Australia Business Council, there are

three (3) main traits that underlie the Filipino values and value-orientation These traits have a
strong influence in the behavior and mentality of the Filipinos. These also have an effect in
the Filipinos’ personal beliefs, cultural traditions and practices.

1. Personalism is a Filipino trait wherein they give importance to interpersonal

relations or face-to-face encounters. Filipinos usually extends their work or services through
“personal touch” or handles problem solving through good personal relations.

2. Familialism focuses on the welfare and interest of the family over those of the
community. The family is the basis of group action and almost all community activity centers
on the family. In decision making, it is the family that decides rather than the individual on
important matters. It takes into consideration the welfare of the family and not the individual.
The family’s honor, not the personal image, that is at stake when a family member makes a
mistake.

3. Particularism relates to the strong family influence on the individual or group

behavior. This is shown when an individual strives to promote their own and their family’s
interest over the community’s interest. Popularity among peers is prevalent and observable.
Thus, Filipinos make special efforts to entertain friends and relatives. Pakikisama is very
important. Conformity to proper codes of conduct yields rewards of cooperation while non-
conformity results to withdrawal of support.

It is also important to know that there are three (3) main obligations that underlie the
Filipino value orientation namely – relational (pakikipagkapwa), emotional (damdamin) and
moral (karangalan). One or all of these may have influence in Filipinos’ lives and social
relationships.

Let us then try to discuss some of the values in the Filipino society and re-evaluate them
to develop a more positive value for the Filipino individual.

10
 A. Utang na Loob

There is no specific translation that can approximate the meaning of this Filipino value
of utang na loob. Debt of gratitude is a lean excuse of a translation because it does not even
approximate the fertile concept of the Filipino loob.

Utang na loob is a situation where an individual is required to return a favor or service

received. However, the return of such service or favor cannot be translated into monetary
equivalent, and may reciprocated in a month of service or even a lifetime.

For example, a congressman proudly gives a town a new chapel, a bridge, or a waiting
shed (no matter whether the money came from his pocket or from the government), this makes
the people indebted to him. And when elections come, he recites the litany of his projects and
people “ought” to repay these through their votes. Not to repay this form of debt means that
those who were benefited are walang utang na loob. After having been elected, the people
would approach this congressman for return of the favor by seeking employment for them.
Thus, this would end into a vicious cycle, where the person na pinagkakautangan ng loob
becomes the giver and the giver becomes the person na may utang na loob.

However, utang na loob may be interpreted in a positive outlook. If it is used with the
concept of justice, truth, and human dignity, it would reflect the beautiful aspect of the Filipino
character. Thus, this altruistic feeling must voluntarily come from within the person himself,
kusang loob; and should not be demanded by coercing the person who has utang na loob, so
as blind his sense of judgment. Furthermore, this value should be used discriminately. The
pagtatanaw ng utang na loob should emerge from within the self of an individual with sense
of justice so as to repay the person for the favor or services rendered.

We should always remember that in demanding for the return of indebtedness, the
golden rule “Do unto other as you would want them to do unto you.” By demanding the return
of the favor, would you wish to become indebted in return? And when indebted, would you
want that person to act the same way when they are demanding the return of the favor?

B. Bahala Na

Filipinos, by nature, are a religious group of people. They firmly believe in the
supernatural and in all kinds of spirit dwelling in individual persons, places or things. They
believe in a Supreme Being who will take care of things for them. The Filipino is very religious
who has a saint to pray to each day of the week.

The term bahala na comes from the words Bathala na. It reflects the Filipino's
dependence on the supernatural being and on fate. This tends to move toward the commonly
conceived procrastination character of the Filipino.

C. Mañana Habit

11
 Mañana Habit can be traced back to the Spanish colonization era. The term “Mañana”
is a Spanish word that means “tomorrow”. This is a Filipino trait that enforces procrastination
- practice of putting off work to be done in the near future or in the last minute. This habit is
exemplified through the “Mamaya na” or “Bukas na”.

D. Ningas Kugon

The term Ningas Kugon translates to “burning of cogon grass”. As a Filipino trait, it
means that Filipinos tend to have a strong enthusiasm in the beginning of each work or
endeavor but gradually slows down and lose their drive to work and finish the job. It is said
that in work Filipinos tend to do their job half- baked or leave it unfinished.

E. Amor Propio

As a reinforcement to the Philippine trait of “Hiya” or shame, Filipinos are akin to the
traditional attitude of saving “face”. Amor propio is another Spanish term that means a sense
of self-esteem or self-respect that prevents a person from swallowing his pride. It also means
ego defensiveness or maintaining one’s dignity and personal pride. According to the
Philippines Australia Business Council, amor propio often implies a vindictive reaction to
questioning an individual’s action, integrity, or honor.

F. Bayanihan

In an article titled “Filipino Culture: Bayanihan: The Filipino Value that Must be Retained”,
it describes bayanihan as:

“Bayanihan is a core essence of the Filipino culture. It is helping out one’s neighbor as a
community, and doing a task together, thus lessening the workload and making the job easier.
It is also called the ‘community spirit’. It is best exhibited when people wish to move locations in
the rural area. The traditional Filipino house, the ‘bahay-kubo’, can be moved using wooden
poles which are carried from the old place to the new one. This requires a group of people to
lift and carry the house on their shoulders. Able-bodied men usually participated in such feats,
while women stood and watched, casually chatting and cheering the men on. Afterwards, there
will be a small gathering as a form of celebration and socialization.
