1. Enumerate and Discuss the Five (5) derivative words stipulated from the
preamble of the 1987 Philippines constitution.

The five (5) derivative words stipulated from the preamble of the 1987 Philippines
constitution are Freedom, Justice, Equality, Prosperity, and Patrimony. Preamble
states that the Constitution exists “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
and our Posterity”. The Constitution is founded to protect individual freedom. It is
a society where personal liberty, not a duty to the state. To establish justice was to
determine rights and administrate laws that were just or fair to all citizens Preamble
to the Constitution “insure domestic Tranquility”. It aims to achieve a state of
peace and quiet, free from stress or violence at home. Equality means the absence
of privileges or discrimination against any section of the society. The Preamble
provides for equality of status and opportunity to all the people of the country. The
Constitution strives to provide social, economic and political equality in the
country. “ Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity”. The
phrase confirms the Framer’s vision that the very purpose of the Constitution is to
protect the nation’s blood-earned rights for liberty, justice, and freedom from a
tyrannical government. The Preamble of the Constitution provides that we should
establish a Government which shall “conserve and develop our patrimony”. Our
“patrimony” includes our public forests, mangroves, wildlife, and flora and fauna
which should be conserved protected and renewed.

2. What is self-awareness?

Self-awareness opens doors to spiritual and personal growth. We have all the
answers to the questions about our lives and what we have to do is to learn how we
can have an access to our wisdom. It begins with self-awareness by paying
attention to our many senses, thoughts, feelings and intuition. We should go deep
into our emotions to tap their sources. We should see our thinking and how it
creates our reality. Then we can discover our deepest essence.

According to Goleman, perhaps the most important emotional competence is self-

awareness -knowing one’s internal states, preferences, resources and intuitions.
Another psychotherapist puts it as “bringing to the conscious mind our
 understanding of the compulsion that pushes us around.” Marilyn vs Savant,
simply calls it, “the art of waking up”, or realizing what you really are and why you
do the things you do, in the way you do them.

4. Explain the importance of human rights to every Filipino Citizen.

A bill of rights is an enumeration of a person's rights and privileges which the
Constitution is designed to protect against violations by the government, or by an
individual or groups of individuals. The peaceful attainment of peace will depend on
our nation’s libertarian use of freedom of thought, speech and association. The rights
proclaimed in the Bill of Rights are the “ten commandments” of our constitutional
faith. They are the means of self-government and sovereignty. They are the means to
truth. They are the means of and ends of security and survival ( Labuguen et. al.,
2012).

5. List down the seven intermediate values related to socialization and defines
each.

Smooth Interpersonal Relations (SIR). Smooth interpersonal relations or SIR, in short,

connotes the facility of getting along with others so as to avoid outward signs of
conflicts, even under difficult circumstances (Lynch 1970:10).

• Pakikisama is the mechanism used to maintain SIR, the use of the go-between,
and euphemism.
• Reciprocity or Utang na Loob which is another aspect of SIR is a universal form
of behavior.
• Looseness and Security in the Family. A much vaunted trait in the Filipino
society is the so called close family ties or family solidarity.

• Respect for elders. A value inculcated early in the socialization process.

• Personalism. In personalism, major importance is attached to the personal factor,

which ensures intimacy, warmth and friendship in getting things done. Hospitality.
Foreigner who come to our country often remark about Filipino hospitality. This is
shown in our generosity and kindness in treating our visitors.

• Patient Suffering or Pagtitiis. It is shown in the attitude that certain frustrating

forces whether poverty, injustice, sickness, or anything else are too powerful to be
overcome (Bulatao, 1962:78).

• Panindigan. With the emphasis on Filipino indigenousness, Enriquez (1977:3)

initiated a new way of looking at Filipino values, which truly represent the Filipino
culture. Commitment and conviction approximate it.

6. Write the factors that affect value formation and the types of experiences that
influence value formation.

formation

values.

There are three basic steps that are useful in value Clarification:

Forward-thinking – the organization promotes values to guide people. Doing this saves
time because organizations need not write rules, and need not refer to rule books or
organization manual.
3. Values serve as outline goals
An explicit set of values shall form the foundation of any organization because they
endure.
4. Values send a message.
A good value teaches and guides the members of the organization. A symbolic act
affirms the value over and over.

products. Values can shape and animate an organization.
