Kung babalikan natin sa ating subject na world values system and multicultural studies, sinilip natin ang
iba’t-ibang kultura, gaya ng islam, the Asian taughts or Confucian teachings, the western and indigenous
tribes. Nakita natin ang comparisons ng different cultures and how their teachings and beliefs developed

appreciate cultural diversity. Nagiging clear ang satin ang lente ng ibat ibang kultura at from that mas
Madali nating naiintidihan ang mga pinangggalingan ng iba. Also, it will open an opportunity to advocate
btter opportunities for learning especially for those who are marginalised based on the colour of their
skin, or where they come from. Kumbaga, magiging daan ito upang maging connected tayo primarily as
