examined in numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.

also contradicts the principles of hard work, honesty, and integrity—values necessary for both professional and
personal success. Maria and other students like her need to be made aware of the negative effects of cheating and
the benefits of academic honesty.

in public expenditures. Such funding may be distributed in a way that encourages power abuse, poor management,
and corruption. But the 100 congressmen who demand to have their entire allocation are putting their own
interests ahead of the needs of their people. In order to make sure that public funds are used for the greater
benefit rather than for politicians' personal gain, the government must enact laws and regulations.

c. John has to be corrected in his assumption that earning a college degree is not significant. Since education

development of the self, and intellectual advancement. Even if some people can achieve without a degree, most
people still gain from having one. To encourage social mobility and equal opportunity, the government and other
stakeholders should place a high priority on making education more affordable and accessible for all.

culture, history, and accomplishments of the Filipino people. Respecting and valuing variety as well as other
cultures and identities is crucial. Raising awareness and educating the public can aid in the fight against prejudice
and advance inclusivity.

outlook on life. Character should be the yardstick by which success is judged. values and social contributions rather
than material prosperity or hedonistic hobbies. To advance the common good and a sustainable future, it is
essential to foster values in people like empathy, compassion, and responsibility. Additionally, society ought to
support more comprehensive and satisfying definitions of success that place an emphasis on personal
development, interpersonal connection, and well-being.
