• A vision-mission helps journeying individuals,

organizations and communities to have a clear
direction anchored properly upon philosophy,
beliefs, experiences and perspectives in life.

Mission that serves as backbone of their

for walls but rather, a reflective statement of
conviction as a result of prudent judgement and
a shared vision.

 Preference
for the least

NDMU
Core
Preference For The Least Favored: Preference for Values
the least favored is to be with those who are excluded from the
mainstream of society, and those whose material poverty leads
to deprivation in relation to health, family life, schooling, and
educational values. With the emergence of social and cultural
challenges confronting the world, preference to the least
favored means being concerned toward the youth who are
affected by the social, political, and cultural problems of the
society.

and of evangelizing. It leads students “to learn, to know, to be competent, to Education

live together and most especially, to grow as persons.” Quality education is

characterized as holistic where students are progressively initiated into their
life-long challenge of harmonizing faith, culture and life. It provides
educational programmes, curriculum contents, and teaching methods that
meet the aspirations of students, parents and the community with regard to
subject choices, career possibilities and educational needs of the
community. It gives emphasis to educating students by teaching them

of teaching and its support systems. 
NDMU
Core Culture
sensitivity

Values

Culture Sensitivity: Culture must be accepted as the gift of every

people, the expression of their dignity, liberty and creativity, and the testimony
of their unique place in the history of humanity.
Culture sensitivity means openness and respect to the different culture of
peoples. It promotes dialogue as a way of enhancing unity in diversity. On the
individual level, it is a communication between two persons with different
views, different values and traditions, to learn from each other in order for
them to change and grow.
Culture sensitivity as a value promotes respect for the tri-people of Mindanao,
develops programs for inter-faith dialogue and upholds advocacy on issues as
a result of the emerging culture of the global world.
