LOVE
1. Love is the value from which the other values that form a good
person develop
2. Love is a commitment to action, an intellectual and thoughtful
decision
DEFINITION OF LOVE IN THE SCRIPTURE
 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-
seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres….13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and
love. But the greatest of these is love.”
 Love entails responsibility, sacrifice and service;
E.g. love of country
 love of the environmental protection
FREEDOM
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use
your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly
in love.” Galatians 5:13
FREEDOM
 The value of Freedom is never without the virtue of
responsibility; 
 Freedom without responsibility results to anarchy.
 According to Dr. Jose P. Rizal, “Nations win their freedom by
deserving it, by loving what is just, what is good, what is great
to the point of dying for it.”
PEACE
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of
God.”  Matthew 5:9
 Peace begins with one’s self and is a God-given gift that must
be continuously nurtured by prayer and reflection of one’s
values and principles
 Peace cannot be attained through violence or other ways that
do not promote order
 Love, Freedom, Truth, and Justice.
 There can be no lasting peace if the nations of the world
prosper at the expense of other nations.
E.g. West Philippine Sea controversy
TRUTH
Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” John
8:31-32
 Truth entails transparency, honesty, integrity, sincerity, and
humility.
e.g. truth in governance
JUSTICE
Treat others the way you want to have them treat you.” Matthew
7:12
 It ensures that all people, regardless of any form of distinction,
will receive the full benefit and protection of the law.
  Justice delayed is justice denied.”
