SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDYING FILIPINO

VALUES

The shaping of the Philippines

society into a successful and
progressive nation would depend on
understanding and appreciating the
positives side of Filipino values
and how they applied to attain such
goal.

It is imperative that a full

understanding and appreciation of
the positive side of our very own
principles be made and used for our
personal and national success.
