PAGKAMAKA-DIYOS,….. imploring the aid of Almighty
God
FAITH IN THE ALMIGHTY, RESPECT FOR LIFE, ORDER,
WORK, & CONCERN FOR FAMILY AND FUTURE
GENERATIONS
Ø The fear of the Almighty God is the beginning of
wisdom, and so it goes. Without that essential fear
of God, chaos, division, anarchy, disregards for life,
immorality, and other social and political
perversions will overthrow any nation eventually
destroying her. All other values birthed out from
these core values of faith such as respect for life,
order, and work, and filial piety are necessary
elements of good citizenship.
“We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of
Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane
society, and establish a Government that shall embody
our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good,
conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to
ourselves and our posterity, the blessings of
independence and democracy under the rule of law and
a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and
peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.”
-The Preamble, Philippine Constitution of 1987
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
 “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he
has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?..
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith
without works is dead?”
James 2:14, 20 NKJV
‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to attack an innocent
person.’...
(‘Sumpain siya na tumatanggap ng suhol upang
salakayin ang isang inosenteng tao.’..)
Deuteronomy 27:25, NASB:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all you might. And these
words that I command to you today shall be on your
heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children
and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and
when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and
when you rise.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-7
Family is not an important thing. Its everything.
Filipino quote on family
The core value of ‘Faith in God’ if exercised by a person
becomes the matrix (something within or from which
something else originates, develops, or takes form) from
which other virtues essential for good citizenship are
embodied in the preamble of the Constitution:
Ø How does the Filipino value of “kagandahang-
loob” further ingrained (nakatanim) in our
hearts as afflictions and trials of life ravage our
society during the pandemic?
Ø Although reports of atrocities (Kalupitan) put
other lives in danger and disrespect, while
domestic violence escalates during the
pandemic, what motivates parallel forces of
human values to spiral up such as kindness,
caring for others, sharing of things, and offering
help or assistance against such atrocities?
Ø Respect for Life. All living things have moral
status and on account of that should not be
killed or harmed without good reason. Moral
agents, then, can have moral responsibilities
towards other living things to protect them from
harm.
• Moral agent - is a person who has the
ability to discern right from wrong and
to be held accountable for his or her own
actions.
Ø Order is structuring your life by identifying
your roles and priorities in the spirit of
commitment (pangako) and moral responsibility.
• Order brings life to work
• Virtues to acquire to develop the value
of Order are prudence (kabaitan),
temperance discipline humility,
diligence, patience, and resilience.
Ø Work is an activity involving mental or physical
effort done in order to achieve a purpose or
result.
• Work is inherent to man for self-worth,
self-reliance, achievement, and living
within the values of discipline, frugality,
prudence, and temperance.
• Excellence is doing the same thing in a
different way, Creativity is the way of
doing different things out of the same
thing, Excellence and creativity are the
crowning glories of any work.
Ø Concern for the Family & Future Generation.
Love, care, and concern is the top most
important family value; it is expedient that
family members are communicating and uphold
strong filial responsibility. Through these, the
legacy of values will be passed to the future
generation.
Ø The future of humanity passes by way of family.
Ø The family is the best place for refuge, strength,
inspiration, example, source of love, and
protection against negative influences of high
technology, materialism, and new age mysticism
that plague and confuse the mind of young
family members.
Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt.
Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should
be touched gently because the time is short. Civilization
is another word for respect for life.”

PAGKAMAKATAO ……………………….HUMANISM
Love, Freedom, Peace, Truth, and Justice
To wrought communal influence regarding the core value
of ‘Pagka-Makatao’ [humanism] in the course of
achieving good citizenship, the student should start
looking within himself. The spark of light should
overcome the larger darkness that looms in the lives of
our countrymen. The illumination would be beneficial to
change mindsets, evaluate prejudices (preconceived
opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.),
and embrace those values of love, freedom, truth, peace,
and justice. Embracing them means actuating (kumikilos)
and serving the beauty of these values to our neighbors.
Light produces light. Maintaining our small light as we
enlighten our neighbors and in turn, enlighten others
also. That is “the power of the value multiplication”.
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not
have love, I am only a resounding (matunog) gong or a
clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can
fathom (Unawain) all mysteries and all knowledge, and if
I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not
have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the
poor and give over my body to hardship that I may
boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing”
1st Corinthians 13: 1-3
Love is basic for the birth of a true society, while
violence has in it the essence of anti-sociality. Love is
positive, is eternal: violence is degeneracy, it is its own
destruction.
Toyohiko Kagawa
Civilization is first of all a moral thing. Without truth,
respect for duty, love of neighbor, and virtue, everything
is destroyed. The morality of a society is alone the basis
of civilization.
Henri Frederic Amiel
When people are denied light, home, freedom, justice,
all the good things without which life is not possible, and
which constitute man’s patrimony (property inherited
from one's father or male ancestor.) a person has the
right to deal with the people who despoil (sirain) him,
like a thief who assaults us in the roadway. No
qualifications, no exceptions.
Jose Rizal
Ø Love
- the ingredient that purifies all motives of
human activities and the touchstone of the
true intention of the heart.
Ø Freedom
- is the power to act or not to act, and so to
perform deliberate acts of one’s own.
- Basis of freedom – lies in the individuality
of a human being who is capable of
thinking caring, and relating with others.
- Value of freedom - it is never without
responsibility.
- Fruit of freedom - is cultivated by people’s
genuine sense of cooperation and sense of
responsibility for their actions for the
benefit of the common good.
Ø Peace
- Peace is more than just the absence of
conflict; it is taking action to restore a
broken situation.
- Peace is more than a state of inner
tranquility (the quality or state of being
tranquil; calm); it’s a state of wholeness
and completeness.
- Unity – We can live with others in unity
and one accord through the bonds of
peace and to be peacemakers with our
neighbors, friends, and foes (mga Kalaban).
Ø Truth
- is that which is consistent with the mind,
will, character, glory, and being of God.
- Truth is the conformity to fact or reality;
exact accordance with that which is, or has
been, or shall be.”
- Truth is the true or actual state of a
matter: conformity with fact or reality;
verity.”
Ø Justice
- is the principle that people receive that
which they deserve.
- Justice is the condition of being morally
correct or fair
- The four different types of justice:
• Distributive (determining who gets what)
• Procedural (determining how fairly
people are treated)
• Retributive (based on punishment for
wrong-doing)
• Restorative (which tries to restore
relationships to “rightness.”)
“Love is the matrix of all subsequent values.”
GLOSSARY
Humanism - An outlook or system of thought attaching
prime importance to human rather than divine or
supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the
potential value and goodness of human beings,
emphasize common human needs, and seek solely
rational ways of solving human problems.
Civilized - At an advanced stage of social and cultural
development.

PAGKAMAKA-BAYAN...Nationalism
UNITY, EQUALITY, RESPECT FOR LAW AND
GOVERNMENT, PATRIOTISM, PROMOTION OF
COMMON GOOD:
The value of “PAGKAMAKA-BAYAN” took a slight
difference in connotation (an idea or feeling that a word
invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.) from
its English equivalent word nationalism. Filipino culture of
nationalism acknowledged God’s sovereignty in all
aspects of their national and patriotic lives. Although
communalism can be observed in other living creatures
such as unity, equality, and even altruism, nationalism
displayed by humankind has been characterized by
dignity and a higher sense of moral ascendancy.
Filipino nationalism refers to the establishment and
support of a political identity, associated with the
modern nation-state of the Philippines, leading to a wide-
ranging campaign for political, social, and economic
freedom in the Philippines.
Ø Patriotism- Vervet monkeys warn the other monkeys
by giving alarm calls in case of a predator attack. They
risk their lives in doing this as they grab the attention
of the predators, and their chances of being attacked
by them increase. Hence, this act can be considered
pure altruism as the Vervet monkeys are helping their
fellow monkeys by risking their own lives.
Ø Unity -Meerkats have a real passion for teamwork,
which is evident in the way they go about different
activities. They always live in burrows that typically
contain 20-50 meerkats, and there are often a few
different burrows located in close proximity where
multiple meerkat families live in perfect harmony.
When they need food, they venture out of their
burrows in a group to search for it, but this is where
things get interesting. The most defining
characteristic of meerkats is that you will always find
at least one meerkat keeping a lookout for their main
enemies and primary predators birds of prey
Ø Equality – Wolves and wild dogs share their food with
others even when there is no kinship. In fact, it is seen
that they bring food to the other members of the
group if they were not present at the time of the hunt.
Ø Respect for communal government – The red deer of
Eurasia live in large herds, spending lots of time either
grazing or lying down to ruminate. Some deer are
ready to move on before others are, and scientists
have noticed that herds only move when 60 percent
of the adults stand up — essentially voting with their
feet. Even if a dominant individual is more
experienced and makes fewer mistakes than its
underlings, herds typically favor democratic decisions
over autocratic ones.
Ø Promotion of common good – A professor at the
University of Vermont and researcher Bernd Heinrich
saw a group of ravens eating a dead moose. He saw a
strange behavior of ravens, the ravens were not just
feasting, but they were also making loud calls that
seemed to inform the other ravens about the area of
feasting. In fact, some ravens even went back to their
roosts to invite other ravens.
- Vampires bats are the species that live in
the colonies and feed on the blood of
animals such as horses, cattle, and pigs. The
researchers of the University of California,
San Diago studied altruism in vampire bats.
The research shows that the vampire bats
that are well-fed, share the blood of their
hunt with the hungry vampire bats, and
with the vampire bats who gave them the
blood of their prey to them in the past. They
are more likely to share the blood of their
prey with the bats to whom they are closely
related, i.e., genetic altruism is observed in
the vampire bats. They often regurgitate
blood for the sick or the poor mates that
could not find the meal. This behavior of
helping the other bats is popularly known as
the buddy system.
Deepening Discussion:
Ø Scientists surprisingly learn much about the animal
kingdom’s communal behavior on how they behave
amongst each other. The intrinsic behavior of unity
and patriotism in animals allows the scientists to
 attribute them to their desire to preserve their
progeny.
Ø In some observations, equality and even gender
equality were starkly evident. The rules of majority
and uncanny ways of casting their votes on whom
to be their alpha [leader] through their body
movements were interestingly observed.
Ø In human society, communal behavior and politics
are much more complicated to observe because of
the complexities of human relationships.
Nevertheless, they were observable.
Ø The following points are essential to discuss and
commented on by the students.
- Unity – is sharing a common vision and
working together towards the same dream
of social justice, prosperity & happiness
- Unity is solidarity in the service of humanity.
It is the key by which we can triumph over
corruption, injustices, decadent values, and
violence.
Question: Why is it in spite of our effort of unity evil of
corruption still triumph in our society?
Ø The Law – is not meant to curtail freedom, but to
ensure that every citizen acts responsibly while
exercising his freedom.
- The law & Government are not meant to
enslave people; they are meant to establish
order, and free people from poverty,
ignorance, insecurity, violence, and
disregard.
Ø Patriotism pertains to the love for a nation, with
more emphasis on values and beliefs.
- Nationalism means giving more importance
to unity by way of cultural background,
including language and heritage.
- Patriotism pertains to the love for a nation,
with more emphasis on values and beliefs.
Nationalism means giving more importance
to unity by way of cultural background,
including language and heritage.
Glossary
Ø Equality – The concept of human rights is based on
the belief that all people are of equal value and
dignity just because they are human beings.
- No person, organization, or government
should prevent someone from living in
dignity, choosing a way of earning a living,
spending time with whom they want, and
believing in what they want.
- Human rights are meant for everyone
equally, no matter what their race, religion,
culture, nationality, age, sex, beliefs,
disability, sexual orientation, or
intelligence.
- Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948,
states that “all human beings are born free
and equal in dignity and rights”. It is the
foundation stone of all the human rights
documents that have followed it.
Ø Promotion of Common Good
- Common good (also commonwealth,
general welfare, or public benefit) refers to
either what is shared and beneficial for all
or most members of a given community, or
alternatively, what is achieved by
citizenship, collective action, and active
participation in the realm of politics and
public service.
- Promotion of Common Good means
Contributing to the common good involves
accepting the responsibility to engage in
the political and civic processes that will
ensure that all citizens benefit from the
policies and decisions made by Congress,
legislators, judges, and other decision-
makers.
- being vigilant and steadfast in guarding our
human rights
- Is working towards things that promote the
greater good of the many contrary to the
personal gain or benefit of a select few
Ø Suffrage [right to vote] may be exercised by all
citizens of the Philippines not otherwise
disqualified by law, who are at least eighteen
years of age, and who shall have resided in the
Philippines for at least one year, and in the place
wherein they propose to vote, for at least six
months immediately preceding the election. No
literacy, property other substantive requirements
shall be imposed on the exercise of suffrage
Ø Identity politics. Political approach wherein
people of a particular race, religion, gender,
social background, social class, environmental, or
other identifying factors develop political
agendas that are based upon these identities.
Ø A nation-state. A political unit where the state
and nation are congruent. It is a more precise
concept than "country" since a country does not
need to have a predominant ethnic group.
 Ø Altruism. The behavior of an animal that benefits
another at its own expense.
Ø Progeny. Descendants or the descendant of a
person, animal, or plant.
Ø Suffrage. The right to vote in political elections.

PAGKAMAKA-KALIKASAN...Concern for Environment
Every factor that contributes to the fast deterioration of
our planet is executed for the sake of urbanization which
includes fast-track housing projects, fossil fuels demand,
technological waste and manufacturing activities,
overpopulation, and man ever close contact and
proximity to wild animals and their habitat. The alarming
rate of environmental deterioration seems to be
irreversible. So far concerning sectors insisting on radical
national policies to at least considerably slow down the
degradation.
“Then the Lord took the man and put him in the Garden
of Eden to tend and keep it.”
Genesis 1:15
“For the creation was subjected to futility...because the
creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of
corruption [decay] into the glorious liberty of the
children of God.”
Romans 8:20-21
Sooner or later, we will have recognized that the Earth
has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind
must know is that human beings cannot live without
Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

Ø Global warming
- Fossil fuel utilization brings about the
discharge of greenhouse gasses, which
causes environmental change and global
warming.
Ø Acid rain
- happens because of the vicinity of specific
poisons in the climate. Corrosive downpour
might be brought about because of the use
of fossil fuels or volcanoes or spoiling
vegetation which discharges sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen oxides into the air.
Ø Air pollution
- Air contamination is created by different
gasses and poisons discharged by
businesses and manufacturing plants and
the burning of fossil fills.
Ø Urban sprawl
- alludes to the relocation of the populace
from high-thickness urban ranges to low-
density provincial zones which brings about
the spreading of the city over the more
rustic [rural] area.
Ø Waste disposal
- Waste management or Waste disposal is all
the activities and actions required to
manage waste from its inception to its final
disposal. This includes amongst other
things, collection, transport, treatment and
disposal of waste together with monitoring
and regulation.
- The waste humans generate waste has
been detrimental to our environment for
quite some time now. Humans are
generating too much trash and cannot deal
with it in a sustainable way.
Ø Ozone layer depletion
- Fossil fuel utilization brings about the
discharge of greenhouse gasses, which
causes environmental change.
Ø Water pollution
- Clean drinking water is turning into an
uncommon thing. Water is turning into a
monetary and political concern as the
human populace battles for this need.
Waste from industrial and agricultural
activities pollutes the water that is used by
humans, animals, and plants.
Ø Climate change
- Environmental change has different
destructive impacts that include, but are
not limited to, the melting of polar ice,
change in seasons, new sicknesses, and
changes in the general climate situation.
Ø Genetic modification [e.g., MGO]
- utilizing biotechnology is called genetic
engineering.
o Genetic engineering
§ of food brings about expanded
poisons and sicknesses as qualities
 from a hypersensitive plant can
exchange to the target plant. Some
of these crops can even be a threat
to the world around us, as animals
start to ingest the unnatural
chemicals and such.
Ø Carbon footprint
- is defined as the amount of carbon (usually
in tons) being emitted by an organization,
event, product or individual directly or
indirectly. Everyone’s carbon footprint is
different depending on their location,
habits and personal choice. Each of us
contributes to the greenhouse gas
emissions either by the way we travel, the
food we eat, the amount of electricity we
consume and many more.
Ø Essentially, the carbon footprint
- is the amount of carbon dioxide released
into the Earth’s atmosphere due to the
daily activities of humankind, whether
domestically or commercially
Ø Generativity
- is the concern for and care of the next
generation. Research suggests that adults
who are actively engaged in care for the
environment cite a generative concern

Comment on the quotation by Tom McMillan:
“For 200 years we’ve been conquering Nature. Now we
are beating it to death.”
Biblical quotations from ‘Taking-Off’, the ‘law of
ownership’ points to God, not to us. The original owner
of any invention is the creator of it so is God who is the
Creator of earth. We are theoretically and technically
caretakers rather than owners of this earth. Man’s
appropriate position or say function in relation to God
regarding this earth is that of a steward
Ø Stewardship
- is the responsibility that Christians have in
maintaining and using wisely the gifts that
God has bestowed.
Ø God has created a world in which humans have a
special role as stewards of creation. This means
they should look after the interests of the planet
and all life on it. This belief is more about living in
harmony with nature.
Ø God has created a world in which humans have a
special role as stewards of creation. This means
they should look after the interests of the planet
and all life on it. This belief is more about living in
harmony with nature.
Ø In being a good steward of our environment, one
key concept is that we must manage this earth as
if we are its owner which will put us in a position
of fighting for it to the last breath.
Ø Ownership
- is an attitude rather than reality since God
is the real owner and we are His caretakers
[stewards]. The big difference in this kind
of concept is that: positively the stewards
reap all the benefits of being a good one
and negatively received the greatest
impact of environmental degradation. This
should raise an urgency to consider the
startling rate of deterioration which, for
much of philandering was incurred by
human activities.
Ø Environmental concern
- is an individual evaluation of the
environmental consequences of one’s own
behavior. It’s time that we do something
about it in all earnestness.
Ø Green Gasses. Gases in Earth's atmosphere trap
heat. They let sunlight pass through the
atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the
sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. The
main greenhouse gases are Water vapor. Carbon
dioxide.
Ø Ozone Layer. A layer in the earth's stratosphere
at an altitude of about 6.2 miles (10 km) contains
a high concentration of ozone, which absorbs
most of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the
earth from the sun.
Ø Fossil Fuels. Natural fuels such as coal or gas,
formed in the geological past from the remains of
living organisms.
Ø Global Warming. The gradual increase in the
overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere is
generally attributed to the greenhouse effect
caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide,
chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.
Ø Acid Rain. Rainfall is made sufficiently acidic by
atmospheric pollution that it causes
 environmental harm, typically to forests and
lakes. The main cause is the industrial burning of
coal and other fossil fuels.
Ø GMO. [genetically modified organism], is a plant,
animal, microorganism or other organism whose
genetic makeup has been modified in a
laboratory using genetic engineering or
transgenic technology. This creates combinations
of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do
not occur in nature or through traditional
crossbreeding methods.
