DIRECTION: Answer each question based on your perspective. Your answer
must compose of 5 sentences minimum. 1. As a youth of today, what volunteering activities can you contribute for the betterment of our school and nation as a whole? As a Filipino youth today, the only way to contribute to the betterment of our school and nation is to participate, be responsible, be patriotic, and educate our fellow citizens about the factors preventing our country from progressing. Furthermore, influence our fellow citizens in a positive way to have a beautiful mindset. Respecting our country’s rights and laws Being wise in decision making, such as choosing the right party and leaders, is a significant contribution to the betterment of our school and nation. Everything is possible; we can achieve the better place we desire if we are only determined to assist in the development and progress of all aspects and projects in our country. 2. What volunteering actions that you can share? Volunteering is one of the most valuable ways to give back to our community. The majority of volunteer opportunities are strictly local in nature. Volunteering activities that I am sure I can share without hesitations include tutoring children during or after school and organizing a summer reading program to encourage them to read. Helping Senior Citizens by cleaning and organizing their homes. Volunteer to help our animals and the environment by caring for cats and dogs at an animal shelter, or by organizing a tree planting and clean-up drive. Helping hungry and homeless Filipinos, reducing crime and promoting overall safety, and finally promoting our community for improvement. We get nothing in return for volunteering, but I believe it gives us self-worth, self-respect, and fulfillment in our hearts. Every volunteer action and effort is measured by the heartfelt goodwill. As a college students, let us make a difference in the lives of others through volunteerism. 3. What are your duties as a good Filipino citizen? It is my duty and obligation, as a good Filipino youth and citizen, to obey and respect the rule of law. Such as paying income and other taxes to federal, state, and local authorities in a timely and honest manner. And now that we are of voting age, it is my duty and obligation to vote wisely for the election of government officials. I must learn to report and report or complain the corrupt and dishonest officials in our society. I must participate in the civil exercises as it become necessary for the good of society as a Filipino citizen. 4. Do you want to be a part of our volunteer group? Why? What are your skills that can you partake to our team? Yes, I’d like to join the volunteer group. Because I believe you need someone like me, someone who is dedicated and helpful. I can’t stand alone when I see all those people in need and suffering from hardships or poverty. I am eager to contribute to the enhancement, innovating, and even the development of a community. I believe that by using my skills and abilities to interact with others, we can make a difference in society. 5. Give the different core values and give example. Filipino Values is a collective term for the shared assumptions and beliefs of Filipinos, which influence their response to facts, events, and situations. Filipino values serve as Filipinos’ lenses on how they appreciate the issues around them. Filipinos have Hope, Service, Responsibility, Faith, Honor, Freedom, Honesty, Integrity, Justice, Truth and Family. One example of these Core Values of being a Filipino is the Pakikipagkapwa-tao that really defines the bayanihan or mutual assistance. Having a Pakikipagkapwa-tao is a sense of fairness and justice, it is a ability to empathize with others, being helpfulness and generosity and it is a practice of hospitality. And with that, we strongly believe that we have the best values in the world.
