every decisions and actions that we do, there is peace and harmony.
II.a. The Good Citizenship Values: MAKA-DIYOS

▪ Work
…when you work you fulfil a part of earth’s furthest dream,
assigned to you when the dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labor you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labor is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret.

…And what is it to work with love?

It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your
beloved were to wear that cloth…

-Khalil Gibran, The Prophet (Knopf, 1923)
