(R.A. 8491 S. 1998)
The Basic Values of the Filipino people
 These are unity, patriotism, faith in
Almighty God, respect for life, respect for
law and government, work, truth, justice,
freedom, love, equality, peace,
promotion of the common, concern for
the environment, and order. These values
serve as the guiding principles in our life as
a nation and provide the underlying
framework for all the provisions of the
constitution.
For an adult, his basic values can be seen
in his outward manifestation as well as in
decision- making.

Every Filipino child needs to be helped to

form his own values consistent with basic
Filipino values, if he is to grow into a
citizen who is “MAKA-DIYOS, MAKA-TAO,
MAKA- BAYAN, and MAKA- KALIKASAN.”
 Hereunder are the values of Good Citizenship together with the different verses
from the Bible as well as quotations from notable persons.

 The Good Citizenship Value of Faith in the Almighty

Jesus said to them “ Have faith in God. Whoever says to the mountain,
‘Be lifted up and thrown to the sea.’ and does not doubt in his heart but
believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.”

Mark 11:22-23
Filipinos should show their faith in God. Everybody should reflect on the
blessings of God in their lives as and how they can continue to live a life of
faith in God.
 The Good Citizenship Value of Respect for life
God created man in His image; in the divine image, He created him; male
and female He created them.
 The Good Citizenship Value of Order
Then Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to those who were selling things
saying to them,It is written,’ My house shall be a house of prayer, but you made it a den
of thieves.”
Luke 19:45-46
 The Good Citizenship Value of Work
Six days you shall labor and do all your works; on the seventh day you shall rest.
Exodus 20:9-10

 The Good Citizenship Value of love

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; love is not ill
mannered or selfish and irritable; love does not keep a record of the wrongs:
love is not happy with evil but delights in the truth. Love never gives up: its
hope, faith and patience never fail.Love is eternal… There are faith, hope
and love, and the greatest of these is Love.
I Corinthians 13
 The Good Citizenship Value of Freedom
For you were called for freedom, brothers, but do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the
flesh; rather, serve one another through love.
Galatians 5:13
 The Good Citizenship Value of Peace
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God
Mt. 5:19
 The Good Citizenship Value of Truth
If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free.
John 8:31-32
 The Good Citizenship Value of Justice
The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and
juries. In the mind analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment
in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.
Jimmy Carter
 The Good Citizenship Value of Unity
If a kingdom is divided against itself,that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided
against itself,that house will not be able to stand.

their creator with inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
 The Good Citizenship Value of respect for Law and Government
They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts, while their conscience
also bears witness and the conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them.
Romans 2:15
 The Good Citizenship Value of patriotism
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever lose his life for my sake
will save it.

Mark 8:35

 The Good Citizenship Value of Promotion of the Common Good

All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their
property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need.

For 200 years we’ve been conquering Nature, now we’re beating it to death.

The Basic Building Blocks
OUR BASIC VALUE WHAT IT MEANS

1. Unity We want to be one as a people. We cherish

oneness— as co–citizens of our country, as
members of our family, as co–workers in an
institution.
2. Patriotism We want the best for our country.We want our
country be respected and honored by its
citizenry and by the whole world.

3. Faith in Almighty God We want to have God present in our lives. We

want to have a relationship of trust in him.We
want to ask for God’s help beyond what we
ourselves can do.
4. Respect for life We want all human life to be preserved,
nurtured, and safeguarded.
5. Respect for Law and Government We want that the rule of law be upheld by all

that truth reign in our land.

him/her as a human being, and that what
governs all relationships is morally and legally
right.

8. Freedom We want that each one of us be able to exercise

our freedom of will.

9. Love We want that each one of us desire to love and

be loved. Love begets love. If love reigns in our

people will prevail.
10. Equality We want that each of us have the opportunity to

interest of one not be sacrificed against his will
for the good of another.

with a harmonious relationship with our neighbors.
A place which is tranquil could expect harmony

15. Order We want organization, system, and

predictability in all aspects of our daily lives
and our life as a nation.

16. Work Everybody wants to have a job to support the

basic needs of his family.
 The supreme and overarching value that characterizes education
is HUMAN DIGNITY.
 Values are especially important to understanding human behavior. Conflicts
between them are often based on differences in values. And when you seem
in conflict with the members of the group, examine the group’s value system
against your own. Hence, all of our values taken together are called a VALUE
SYSTEM.
 On the other side, VALUE HAS BEEN DEFINED AS ANY OBJECT, ACTIVITY,
and OR FRAME OF MIND THAT A PERSON CONSIDERS TO BE VERY
IMPORTANT TO HIS OR HER LIFE.
 The word value come from a latin word “valere” which means to measure
the worth of something. These are ideas and norms man considers relevant
and good.
 Max Scheler (1874-1928) is the foremost exponent of axiology.
 Axiology is defined as the philosophical science and values.
 Types of Values
There are two types of values according to Andres (1988) and these are:
1.Positive Values. These are our actions which give pleasant feelings to ourselves and others.
Example: honesty, peace, loving, friendly, etc.
2.Negative Values. These are actions that we normally repent, values that are not acceptable to any
form of organization.
Example: dishonest, troublesome, deceit, fond of rumor mongering, moody, etc.

 Value Conflict according to Andres (1988) happens when persons do not value the same thing. Because
of individual differences, each person has different values from one another, hence it must be
respected to avoid conflict and misunderstanding.
Types of value conflict
Andres (1988) further cited the types of value conflict which are:
1. Intrapersonal. This is experienced by an individual within himself brought by the remorse of his own
conscience or sometimes pressure coming from other people.
2. Interpersonal. This often happens in classrooms or organizations when two or more individuals are not
in the same views, ideas, or opinions.
 Values Formation through Community Service
All Filipino parents want to pass on their children the many good values and words of wisdom that have
been also passed to them.
 The community where NSTP students will be assigned could very well contribute and affect their
values transformation.
 The environment could play a big role to influence their children because VALUES ARE CAUGHT AND
NOT TAUGHT.
Whatever the children have learned at home, from school and in the environment, are all internalized
within themselves.

 The Meaning of Man as a person

Man as a person, then, means that man is unique, a who, a subject, and a self; man is never alone in his
existence in the world.
Man’s “being- with- others” can be viewed from two stand points, viz.: general and specific.
Generally, man’s being-with-others as a person is his intrinsic “being-with” to both things and fellow
human being. Specifically, man’s being-with -others as a person is his irrefutable “ being –with” his
fellowmen only.
 The personhood (pagkatao) and man’s individuality (pagiging siya sa kanyang pagkatao) manifest
man’s individual unique personhood, inasmuch as the individual is the person, and the person is the
individual.
 Personalism, is a philosophical movement, founded by Borden Parker Browne and was developed
later by Max Scheler, Emmanuel Mounier, Henri Bergson, and Martin Buber, personalism is a study of
man and not so much on his nature.This definition treats a person both in the context of things,
establishments, or institutions and human beings.Thus, personalism the term person is solely
attributed to man inasmuch as it requires freedom and rationality as defined by Beothius.

 There is also a tendency among us to be easily discouraged when we experience our weaknesses and
sinfulness according to Sr. Niere (2007). We think we are better than others (and thus also dislike
praising anyone). They appear good, prim and proper and dress modestly, but the truth is they
possess rough edges of their negative values which are:
1. Excessive feeling of superiority, pretending to be the most intelligent person;
2. The habit of talking too much;
3. The habit of gossiping;
4. The habit of telling lies and fabricating stories;
5. Moodiness
6.Rough manners
7.Temper tantrums
8. To much attachment to things
9.Domineering attitude
10. The habit of excusing oneself after doing things that is offending to others
11.A negative and critical attitude
12.Over sensitivity
13.The habit of fault finding, feeling that she is the best
14. Over aggressiveness
15. Lack of listening
16. Sulking and moodiness
 The self
In the totality of human history, anybody could have a unique role to play because of the presence
of individual differences. It is a role that may include responsibilities that are to be faced, decisions
that are to be made, relationship and involvements that are to be lived and work that is to be
performed.

 Where Values come from

Our personal values are formed in early childhood and are affected strongly by both the values of
our parents, the environment, the school, the church and the government. The place and time of
the first few years of our lives have a great effect on the formation of our values.
