III. LESSON OVERVIEW:
In the course of your life, you have developed a personality. This is brought by your upbringing, school, training, but also in
normal interactions with the people around you. This personality reacts to signals from your surroundings according to a
pattern that is successful to you, and you try to get and maintain a certain position in that world. Success can be either positive
or negative, negative attention is also a form of success for a personality.
Within you, there is still a part that is being hidden and that is your inner Self. It is a quiet presence, which will draw attention
to itself. However, it is only you by your free will that its awareness will come to mind. So, do not expect your inner Self to
blow its horn in the midst of stressful situations, loss, etcetera, to “save” you. It requires a conscious decision to change the
focus of your attention.
IV. DESIRED LEARNING OUTCOMES:

V. LESSON CONTENT:
THE CONCEPT OF SELF
The self is an individual person as the object of its own reflective consciousness. Since the self is a reference by a subject to
the same subject, this reference is necessarily subjective. The sense of having a self—or self-hood—should, however, not be
confused with subjectivity itself. Ostensibly, this sense is directed outward from the subject to refer inward, back to its "self"
(or itself). Examples of psychiatric conditions where such "sameness" may become
broken include depersonalization, which sometimes occurs in schizophrenia: the self
appears different from the subject. In psychology, this sense of self has a specific
term: self-concept.
Baumeister (1999) provides the following self-concept definition: "The individual's

belief about himself or herself, including the person's attributes and who and what
the self is". The self-concept is an important term for both social and humanistic
psychology. Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves. How exactly does
this self-image form and change over time? This image develops in a number of
ways but is particularly influenced by our interactions with important people in our
lives.
Self-concept is generally thought of as our individual perceptions of our behavior, abilities, and unique characteristics—a
mental picture of who you are as a person. For example, beliefs such as "I am a good friend" or "I am a kind person" are part
of an overall self-concept.
Self-concept tends to be more malleable when people are younger and still going through the process of self-discovery
and identity formation. As people age, self-perceptions become much more detailed and organized as people form a better
idea of who they are and what is important to them. According to the book Essential Social Psychology by Richard Crisp and
Rhiannon Turner:
▪ The individual self consists of attributes and personality traits that differentiate us from other individuals.
Examples include introversion or extroversion.
▪ The relational self is defined by our relationships with significant others. Examples include siblings, friends,
and spouses.
▪ The collective self reflects our membership in social groups. Examples include British, Republican, African-
American, or gay.
Lewis (1990) suggests that the development of a concept of self has two aspects:
(1) The Existential Self

This is 'the most basic part of the self-scheme or self-concept; the sense of being separate and distinct from others and the
awareness of the constancy of the self' (Bee, 1992).
(2) The Categorical Self

Having realized that he or she exists as a separate experiencing being, the child next becomes aware that he or she is also
an object in the world.
Just as other objects including people have properties that can be experienced (big, small, red, smooth and so on) so the
child is becoming aware of himself or herself as an object which can be experienced and which has properties.

SELF AWARENESS
Self-awareness means that you have a sharp realization of your personality, including your strengths and weaknesses, your
thoughts and beliefs, your emotions, and your motivations. Many people assume that they have a healthy sense of self-
awareness, but it is best to look at a relative scale to see where you fall on it compared to others. Being aware creates an
opportunity to make changes in one's behavior and beliefs.
While you develop self-awareness, your own personal thoughts and interpretations will begin to change. This change in mental
state will also alter your emotions and increase your emotional intelligence, which is an important factor in achieving overall
success. Becoming self- aware is an early step in the creation of the life that you want. It helps you pinpoint what your passions
and emotions are, and how your personality can help you in life.
You can recognize where your thoughts and emotions are leading you, and make any
necessary changes. Once you are aware of your thoughts, words, emotions, and
behavior, you will be able to make changes in the direction of your future.
Trying to see yourself as you really are can be a very difficult process, but if you make
the right efforts, getting to know your real self can be extremely rewarding. When you
are able to see yourself objectively, you can learn how to accept yourself and find ways
to improve yourself in the future.
Determine your strengths, weaknesses, and things that you need to improve. Think of
things that you are proud of, or any accomplishments that really stand out throughout
your life.
HUMAN PERSON AND VALUES DEVELOPMENT

When we talk about the human person, it is obviously everything that pertains to man - physical, spiritual, emotional and
intellectual attributes. There are several definitions of a human person based on different perspectives:
Aristotle and Boethius described man as a rational being. As rational being, a person is able to know, reason out and apply
what he knows.
Theologians describe a human person as a substance of physical and spiritual. Spiritual in nature because man has a soul
and is created by a Superior Being with
a divine purpose. Physical in nature,
because a person is created with body
and faculty that correspond to his
relationship with society.
Dictionaries define a human person as

a living, self-conscious animal or a
thing. To fully understand the meaning
of a person, let us re-evaluate and
understand the characteristics of a
person:
CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON
Eddie Babor discussed in his book “The Human Person, Not Real But Existing” that the human person have several
characteristics, among which are the following:
1. Rational - Every person is a rational being. This is what distinguishes a person from all other creatures in the world. As a
rational being, a person is free to think and has the capacity to reason. He can distinguish what is right and what is wrong
because he has intellect.
2. Free - All human beings are born free. A person has the freedom to do or not to do a specific action. However, every
person must be responsible for his own action. In other words, a person can do whatever he pleases but not to the extent
of doing harm to his co-creatures.
3. Unique - Every person is unique. Every person has his own identity such that no two persons are the same. Generally
speaking, human beings have the same characteristics and physical features and but no two persons are the same
because every person has its own perception, has different sets of values and priorities in life.
4. Social being - Every person is intrinsically a social being. He cannot detach his “being” from others and all other creatures
in the universe. Human nature is characterized by his togetherness and relationship towards other creatures; be it a thing,
object or his fellowman.
5. Sexual - All created living things are sexual in nature but the uniqueness of expression of a person’s sexuality makes it all
different. The expression of a person’s emotions, attitudes, feelings, actions and thoughts in sexual activity best
exemplifies his uniqueness from animals.
Considering the characteristics, and their definitions, given above, it can be deduced that a human person is the ultimate
expression of the Supreme Being that has the freedom, capacity and ability to reason, reflect and relate to his co-existence.
VALUES DEVELOPMENT
Values reflect our sense of right and wrong. They help us grow and develop. They help us create the future we want. The
decisions we make every day are a reflection of our values.
We learn most of our values from our parents and extended families. Our family values stem from our social and cultural
values. Sometimes new life experiences may change values we previously held. Individual values reflect how we live our life
and what we consider important for our own self- interests. Individual values include enthusiasm, creativity, humility and
personal fulfilment.
Relationship values reflect how we relate to other people in our life, such as friends, family, teachers, managers, etc.
Relationship values include openness, trust, generosity and caring.
Social values reflect how we relate to society. Social values include justice, freedom, respect, community, and responsibility.
Social value is the quantification of the relative importance that people place on the
changes they experience in their lives.
In today’s world, it may seem our society doesn’t practice many values. We have a
rise in discrimination, abuse of power, greed, etc. What are we leaving behind for our
future generations? Maybe it’s time society takes a hard look at its values.
Values can be contagious; if you practice them, many others will also, including our
children. Hopefully more practice from all of us will leave the world a better place for
future generations.
THE FILIPINO VALUES SYSTEM
What are values?

Before delving into the discussion of values – Filipino values, in particular – it is worth analyzing the word itself. The word
“value” has its root in the Latin word “valere” which means to be strong and vigorous. This proceeds from the premise that a
human person has to have strength or valor in every endeavor. It is the basis on which his strength in facing the challenges
of life should be directed.
Dr. Tomas Q. D. Andres (1986) would define values as “things, persons, ideas or goals which are important to life; anything
which enables life to be understood, evaluated, and directed.”
On the other hand, Edgar Sheffield Brightman defines value as “whatever is liked, prized, esteemed, desired approved, or
enjoyed by anyone at any time. It is the actual experience of enjoying a desired object or activity. Hence, value is an existing
realization of desire.”
Collectively, the values of a society would be the standards or principles for which an act is judged to be what is right or wrong,
correct or incorrect. As such, it is the goal set for every member of the community to attain what is desirable. In other words,
values in a society give meaning and direction to every individual’s life and influence his human behavior.
Based on these definitions, we can say that values are those which are considered by the society as desirable and important
and have attained the status as moral impetus behind every action of each member geared towards the desired end or goal.
What are Filipino Values?

Significantly, Filipino values would be the standards or principles set forth by the Filipino society as basis for what is right or
wrong, the principles on which every member of the Filipino society should persevere to attain in order to reach the ultimate
realization of his life, regarding his person and in relation to his family and society in general.
Significance of Studying Filipino Values

Several studies have been made on Filipino Values. They have always been interested in examining Filipino values because
it influences a Filipino’s behavior in particular, and shaping the Philippine Society in general. How Filipinos feel and motivated
to do a specific task is directed and evaluated by his set of values. In order to understand the Filipino culture and the
development of the Filipino individual, one has to understand the underlying values on which every Filipino acts. Thus, a study
on the Filipino values would provide us a deeper understanding of the Filipino culture.
The shaping of the Philippine society into a successful and progressive nation would depend on understanding and
appreciating the positive side of Filipino values and how they are applied to attain such goal. Thus, it is imperative that a full
understanding and appreciation of the positive side of our very own principles be made and used for our personal and national
success.
The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to help us understand our Filipino values to enable us to put the positive side of
Filipino values in use and to disregard the negative ones. Thus, in the end, through the development and use of positive
Filipino values, we may bring out the best in the Filipino society in general and the individual in particular.
Understanding Filipino Values and Culture
The Filipino society is composed of a mixture of different races and cultures, many of which influenced the lifestyle and values
being practiced in the Philippine community. Among those who influenced the Filipino culture and values are our ancestors –
the Malays and Indons, our colonists – the Spaniards and the Americans, and nationals of other countries who have dealt
with the Philippine society through trade – the Chinese and the Indians. The resulting blend of this mixture of influences, which
are sometimes conflicting, is uniquely Filipino in character.
Most of the prominent Filipino values are the result of a blend of the rich Christian values of Europe, the pragmatic and
democratic values of America, and the spiritual values of Asia.
The basic social unit in the Philippine society is the family. It is here where values and principles are nurtured and imbibed in
each and every member of the family. The tradition of close family ties has long been practiced and considered as the
foundation of the Philippine society. So much is the effect of this tradition that the members of the constitutional commission
of the 1987 Philippine Constitution deemed it proper to include it as a State Policy and a chapter of the fundamental law of
the land. Thus, Article XV, Section 1 of the said constitution provides that “The State recognizes the Filipino family as the
foundation of the nation.”

It is in the family that the Filipino individual is introduced to the concept of structure and hierarchy of power. He is always
reminded to submit to the authoritarian familial set-up, where roles are prescribed especially for younger members of the
family. The Filipino family is structured in a way that autocratic leadership rests on the elder members, where the young submit
themselves to the decision of family elders. He is indoctrinated of the tradition of primacy of the extended family over that of
the individual and that the only source of emotional, economic, and moral support is the family.
The Filipino individual identifies himself with his family. Right from childhood he is made to believe that he belongs to the
family. The Filipino individual is always encouraged to get advice from his parents and submit to his parents‟ direction,
counsel and advice. He is admonished to be good because any disgrace that he commits is a disgrace to the family. In times
of misfortune, he is assured of his family’s support, sympathy and love.
Thus, Filipino society, in contrast with Western societies, prefers a rather "structured" way of life, and not where he can be
assertive of his own individuality.
However, modern era is catching up with the Filipino society. Changes must occur if the Filipino society is to survive in a
changing world. The Filipino society will have to keep up with the changes brought about by modernization. The society must
prepare itself for a serious reevaluation of its values. In most instances, it will have to break away from its past and adjust
itself towards the future.
FILIPINO CHARACTERISTICS
The characteristic that makes a Filipino vary from different society is his uniquely blended culture and values from different
influences. Filipino values, for reason of several influences that shaped its identity, are bipolar like a coin that has two sides.
They may either be positive or negative in polarity. Let us take for example the value of utang na loob, or debt of gratitude.
The value of utang na loob, the altruistic drawing of interior goodness of a person by returning a debt of gratitude, is by itself
positive. However, when one is coerced to honor a debt of gratitude and return the favor, then it becomes negative.
Due to this ambivalence of Filipino values, they have the potential of being used for good or evil. They may either help or
hinder personal and national development, depending on how they are understood or practiced or lived.
In order to shape the Filipino society into a successful and progressive nation, there is a need to reevaluate the different
values that influence every Filipino individual’s action to a set of circumstances. We need to identify the positive side of every
Filipino value and develop them in order to yield a more successful and developed society.
Let us then try to discuss some of the values in the Filipino society and re-evaluate them to develop a more positive value for
the Filipino individual.
 Utang na Loob
There is no specific translation that can approximate the meaning of this Filipino value
of utang na loob. Debt of gratitude is a lean excuse of a translation because it does
not even approximate the fertile concept of the Filipino loob.
Utang na loob is a situation where an individual is required to return a favor or service

received. However, the return of such service or favor cannot be translated into
monetary equivalent, and may reciprocated in a month of service or even a lifetime.
For example, a congressman proudly gives a town a new chapel, a bridge, or a waiting
shed (no matter whether the money came from his pocket or from the government), this makes the people indebted to him.
And when elections come, he recites the litany of his projects and people “ought” to repay these through their votes. Not to
repay this form of debt means that those who were benefited are walang utang na loob. After having been elected, the people
would approach this congressman for return of the favor by seeking employment for them. Thus, this would end into a vicious
cycle, where the person na pinagkakautangan ng loob becomes the giver and the giver becomes the person na may utang
na loob.
However, utang na loob may be interpreted in a positive outlook. If it is used with the concept of justice, truth and human
dignity, it would reflect the beautiful aspect of the Filipino character. Thus, this altruistic feeling must voluntarily come from
within the person himself, kusang loob; and should not be demanded by coercing the person who has utang na loob, so as
blind his sense of judgment.
Furthermore, this value should be used discriminately. The pagtatanaw ng utang na loob should emerge from within the self
of an individual with sense of justice so as to repay the person for the favor or services rendered.
We should always remember that in demanding for the return of indebtedness, the golden rule “Do unto other as you would
want them to do unto you.” By demanding the return of the favor, would you wish to become indebted in return? And when
indebted, would you want that person to act the same way when they are demanding the return of the favor?
 Bahala na
Filipinos, by nature, are religious group of people. They firmly believe in the supernatural and in all kinds of spirit dwelling in
individual persons, places or things. They believe in a Supreme Being who will take care of things for them. The Filipino is
very religious who has a saint to pray each day of the week.
The term bahala na comes from the words Bathala na. It reflects the Filipino's dependence on the supernatural being and on
fate. This tends to move toward the commonly conceived procrastination character of the Filipino.
OTHER STRENGTHS OF THE FILIPINO CHARACTER
1. Pakikisama / Camaraderie – refers to an interpersonal relationship where people are friendly with each other. To be with
someone and to get along with each other indicates basic human
friendliness and affinity. It is a basic tendency for Filipinos and is
expressed in their private lives, their public workplaces, and in their
relationship with their neighbors. Filipinos believe that they live and act
together with co-equals and consider it only natural that the consideration
they show other will be reciprocated. So, people show a strong tendency
to help, share and cooperate with those they are with.
2. Familial / Close Family Ties – Filipino are said to value and take good
care of their family. Genuine concern for the family is manifested in the
honor and respect given to parents and elders, in the support and care
extended to children and in the great sacrifices one endure for the welfare
of the family. This family orientation makes every member develop a feeling of belongingness and sense of safety and
security.
3. Hospitality – refers to the warm welcome that the Filipino gives to visitors who come to his and her home, especially
strangers. Filipinos tend to create relationship and open their homes regardless of any stereotypical biases. They are easy
to get along with and treats them as though they were family members.
4. Flexibility and Adaptability – Filipinos can keep up with whatever life throw at them. They deal with the challenges and
changes in their everyday lives as it happens. They easily conforms to the situation as well as in dealing with the
unexpected. This is the ability of the Filipinos to adjust to the norms of other groups to attain smooth and harmonious
relationship. This is exemplified during disaster wherein many families are displaced in evacuation centers and need to
cope with the hard times.

5. Resiliency – nothing can keep the Filipino down. Even in dire situation,
Filipino always find a reason to laugh at the difficulties and proceed with their
lives. This is the ability to recover and regain readily one’s particular state
and recover without intervention. This can be summed up with the phase “to
rise from the rubble”.
6. Joy and Humor – Filipinos have a cheerful and fun-loving approach to life
and its up and down, pleasant disposition, a sense of humor and propensity
for happiness that contribute not only to the Filipino charm but also to
the Filipino Spirit. We laugh at those we love and hate.
7. Hard work and Industriousness – With resourcefulness comes hard work. Filipinos are very determined and persevering
in accomplishing whatever they set their minds to. Filipinos over the years have proven time and time again that they are
a people with an industrious attitude.
8. Faith and Religiosity – The Philippines is approximately 85 percent Christians (mostly Roman Catholic Christians), 10
percent Muslim, and 5 percent ‘other’ religions, including the Taoist-
Buddhist religious beliefs of Chinese and the ‘indigenous’ animistic
beliefs of some peoples in upland areas that resisted 300 years of
Spanish colonial rule. This is a reflection of the Filipinos’ strong faith
in God as seen in their various practices. This includes the numerous
Church Holidays they observe, the customary (and obligatory)
Sunday Mass, the individual’s basis of their moral standpoints, the
influence of the Church on the minds, actions, and opinions of the
majority, importance of the Sacraments, Praying at almost any
possible time of the day, the extreme practices during Holy Week.
NATIONALISM
Nationalism is a belief, creed or political ideology that involves an individual identifying with, or becoming attached to, one’s
nation. It is the feeling of oneness among the people of a certain country. A state of awareness that a nation does exist and
is made of people who owe allegiance not only to a tribe, clan or region nor to any religious or political entity. Simply, it is the
devotion and love of country with all its inhabitants.
In the article by Luz Leanie Reyes of OurHappySchool.com entitled “10 Modern Ways to Express Filipino Nationalism”, she
presented how Filipinos can express their nationalistic pride.
1. Respect the Philippine flag and value the Filipino identity - Being Filipinos, we should respect our Philippine flag and
its purpose. The history and value of this flag are connected to the freedom we have today. Encourage our fellowmen to
participate and respect our flag and its anthem and even our different symbols. They provide us our identity as Filipinos
or citizens of the beautiful Republic of the Philippines.
2. Be a productive citizen – Be industrious and make ourselves productive, not only for ourselves but for our country as well.
Serve the people, serve our nation.
3. Be aware of the issues in our country – We must be aware and updated on the significant issues happening in the
country. Extend help to the needy fellowmen, especially the victims of disasters like typhoons, flooding, and the like.
4. Stand proud for every Filipinos achievement – Filipinos is globally competitive in many aspects. They are proud to be a
Filipino and for the honors they bring to our country. They unite every Filipino for their achievements. We can be proud of
Filipinos like Manny Pacquiao, the Azkals Football Team, the Gilas Pilipinas Basketball Team, and many more.

5. Patronize and support our own products – The Philippines has rich resources to create quality goods and products. The
manpower services we provide are also globally competitive. Our economy will improve more if we ourselves patronize
our own products which characterize our creativity, resourcefulness, and industry.
6. Preserve the Filipino culture – Philippines is rich in various colorful cultural elements. They are our identity. Be proud and
preserve the culture we have for they are our treasure. We have to keep them for the future generation.
7. Respect everyone and value our traditions – Filipinos are very courteous and respectful. Even in modern times, many
Filipinos show and value their noble norms and traditions. So we Filipinos must continue to exercise these good traditions
like respecting our elders and others, by using “po at opo”, being hospitable, and being religious.
8. Speak out our own language – Using our own language is manifesting and preserving our national identity. It is our unique
means of communicating and interacting with our fellowmen. Our language is an important tool to achieve further unity
and national development.
9. Remember and commemorate our heroes’ sacrifices for our country - Filipinos who died for our democracy, freedom,
and independence. Some fought using their pens and tongues, while some used the power of their arms and weapons.
Each had their own way of showing their love and respect to our country. In today’s generation, let us value and treasured
our heroes sacrifices and devotion for our country.
10. Love our family, our neighbors, and our compatriots – Love and help one another. That way, we are showing the
world that we are proud to be Filipinos. Stand united! Do something to help each other and for the greater good for mother
country. Love everyone and love our country as we love ourselves.
PATRIOTISM
Patriotism came from the Latin word “pater” which means “father”. It is the willingness and determination to lay down one’s
life for the fatherland – the constant resolve to sacrifice one’s life and limb for the preservation of the country. It is the total
realization of that love for the country, which is nationalism. In other words, to be patriotic is to be nationalistic.
How can one show their patriotism? Here are some ways you can show your patriotic pride:
1. Display your pride. This is the cheapest and easiest way to show your patriotism. However, bear in mind the you need to
observe the proper way of showing your nationalistic pride.
2. Stay informed. Know what is going on the country. Understand the concern and issues plaguing the society. Look at the
issues especially the problems from both sides. Stay objective and find the facts.
3. Learn about your country. Learn the history, culture and influences of the place where you are born and living in. Don’t
be ignorant about the heritage and legacy of our heroes and modern social movers.
4. Be proud of your country. Celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of the country. Highlight the good side of the country.
5. Keep the environment clean. No one will take care and safeguard the country’s resources but their own people. Make it
last for the succeeding generations.
6. Buy local. Support the local businesses and local products to better boost the local producers like farmers, fishermen etc.
7. Pay your taxes. Contribute to the country’s budget to create change and development which shall be supported by paying
the right amount of taxes.
8. Vote. Exercise your rights and participate in the government. Chose the leaders that could shape out country’s direction
and future.
9. Keep the government honest. Don’t tolerate corruption and red tape. Keep an eye out for any malpractice in the
government and abusive government leaders and employee.
10. Volunteer. Get involve and advocate for worthwhile issues. Share your time and talent for a cause that could help the
country.

WEAKNESSES OF THE FILIPINO CHARACTER
1. Extreme Personalism – Filipino view the world in terms of personal relationships, and the extent to which one is able to
personally relate to things and the people determines the recognition of their existence and the value given to them. There
is no separation between the objective task and the emotional involvement. It leads to graft and corruption.
2. Extreme Family-Centeredness – While concern for the family is one of the Filipino's greatest strengths, in the extreme it
becomes a serious flaw. excessive concern for the family creates an in-group to which the Filipino is fiercely loyal to the
detriment of concern for the larger community or for the common good.
3. Lack of Discipline – Self-discipline is one of the most important requirements for achieving success, but too often, there
is lack of self-discipline. Laziness and lack of enough inner strength prevent one from being more self-disciplined. In this
situation, one avoids doing things that require effort and persistence. Filipinos are known for having lack of discipline
when in its own country but one of the most abiding citizens in other countries.
4. Passivity and Lack of initiative – Filipinos are generally seen as passive and lacking in initiative. We wait to be told what
has to be done. We tend to show strong reliance on others like government and other leaders to do things for us.
5. Colonial mentality – it is the internalized attitude of ethnic or cultural inferiority felt by people as a result of colonization,
i.e. them being colonized by another group. It corresponds with the belief that the cultural values of the colonizer are
inherently superior to one's own. Filipinos dream of having white skin, patronizes imported products and prefers to speak
English rather than its national language.
6. Kanya - kanya Syndrome. Filipinos have a selfish, self-serving attitude that generates a feeling of envy and
competitiveness towards others, particularly one's peers who seem to have gained some status or prestige. Towards
them, the Filipino demonstrates the so-called crab mentality (referring to the tendency of crabs in a basket to pull each
other down) using the levelling instruments of tsismis, intriga, and unconstructive criticism to bring others down. There
seems to be a basic assumption that other’s gain is one’s loss.
7. Lack of Self-Analysis and Self-Reflection. There is a tendency in the Filipino to be superficial and even somewhat
flighty. In the face of serious problems, both personal and social, there is lack of analysis or reflection. We joke about the
most serious matters and this prevents looking deeply into the problem. There is no felt need to validate our hypotheses
or explanation of things. Thus, we are satisfied with superficial explanations and superficial solution to problems.
FILIPINO CITIZENSHIP VALUES

The given set of values is inherently within each Filipino. This part of the module aspires to awaken these values amongst us
and hopefully, later on, inspire us to practice it in our everyday lives. These values, if carried out with one’s heart can serve
as a vehicle and reinforcement towards our goal of realizing social change and progress.
For us to have a better view on the said topic, short stories and activities, conveying and promoting the said set of values
were integrated in this module.
GOAL:
To awaken these values amongst us and hopefully, later on, inspire us to practice it in our everyday lives. If carried out, as a
vehicle can serve and reinforcement towards our goal of realizing social change and progress.
 Respect for Life

Recognize the absolute value of human life an the human dignity of every person. Treat life with respect and life
itself will reveal its beauty to
you.
 Concern for the Family and the Future Generation

We can get so involved in what we are doing that we forget why we are doing it. We are so involved in living that we forget
the purpose of living. We get so involved in pursuing the things money can buy that we forget about the things that
money can’t buy.
 Truth
Stand for the truth and avoid intrigue and mudslinging.
 Justice
Give everyone their due. Do not oppress or take advantage of anyone.
 Equality
Each man may differ in worldly stature, but each one bears the same amount of dignity as another and all share one
common destiny.
 Promotion of the Common Good

The real heroes among us are those who live their lives daily in genuine
concern for the welfare of the others.
 Concern for the Environment

Our Mother Earth is currently facing a lot of environmental concerns. The environmental problems like global
warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change and
many more affect every human, animal, and nation on this planet.
VI. LEARNING ACTIVITIES (Please utilize the provided answer sheet)
1. Record your ABCs.

As a freshman, most of you have not experience the actual graduation rites due to the pandemic. With the lockdown we
have experience and trying to adapt this new normal, most of you have experience inconveniences. Now, record your
ABCs. This is a good activity to do after you experience an adverse event. It is a helpful way to debrief yourself and get
a chance to reflect and discover your beliefs after a big, negative incident occurs in your life.
A – Activating event that triggers your inner dialogue

B – Belief you formed after the event
C – Consequences or how your new belief makes you feel
