GENERAL EXPECTATIONS

Our time together is extremely valuable. Both you and I have responsibilities and lives outside of this class.
So it is essential that you use class time productively. Our time together will also be used for building
connections, having open, honest discussions, and considerately questioning ideas. So creating and
maintaining respect for each other is critical. Therefore, I have the following expectations of students:
 1. Respect everyone. Be mindful of what you say and how you say it. Be open to differences in 
opinions.
2. Listen when others are speaking (Do NOT speak when others are speaking).
3. Be in your seat and prepared to actively engage in class when the class commences.
4. Only use electronic devices when explicitly asked to.
5. No eating during class.

CLASSROOM/ e-CLASSROOM POLICIES

1. Absences: If a student has the equivalence of seven (7) consecutive days of unofficial absences in
a course in which he/she is currently enrolled, the instructor may drop the student with a remark of
“Dropped” in the Grade Sheet. Unofficial absences are counted from the first day of class as listed
in the School Calendar, regardless of the date of the student’s registration. The only official
absence is an authorized school activity or extracurricular event. All work and/or assignments
missed because of an official absence must be completed in the time allowed.
If you are absent from class, it is YOUR responsibility to determine what you missed.

2. Late Work:  Late homework will not be accepted. Late papers will receive a grade of zero.

Students who have special circumstances must prearrange with the teacher.

3. Participation: Students are expected to participate in class discussions and come to class having
completed the assigned readings.

4. Cheating/Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the conscious use of a source with the intent to deceive. The
source may be either a published article, book, or the work of another student.  All papers assigned
are to be a student’s own work. Whenever a student has occasion to use someone else’s work,
even if only a single phrase, he/she must indicate this fact by quotation marks. If he/she borrows
without acknowledging a source, he/she is plagiarizing. Plagiarism and cheating are sufficient
grounds for failing the course. Cheating is not doing your own work. This includes such behavior as
submitting the same or very similar written work as another student, copying another’s answers on
exams and quizzes, or bringing in inappropriate materials to an examination. The consequences of
cheating may range from failing an assignment to failing the course.

5. Personal Conduct: Adult behavior is expected of all students at all times. Misconduct, including
sleeping in class, will be punishable by immediate dismissal from class. Students are expected to
maintain classroom decorum that includes respect for other students and the instructor, as well as
an attitude that seeks to take full advantage of the education opportunity.

6. Cell Phones and Electronic Devices: Technology will be used for specific course-related
purposes, and you are encouraged to bring your own devices (laptop, tablet, smart phones, etc.) to
class when needed. You are expected to be intentional and to respect our classroom environment
by only using your device when explicitly allowed and keeping it put away and on silent at all other
times. If you are consistently using your device for non-educational purposes, you will be told to put
it away. If you continue to misuse your device, you will lose the privilege of phones access for a
time period. You will then complete the task (quizzes/assignments) without the device.
Access to technology at home is useful but not required. Lack of access to technology at home is
never an excuse for not turning in an assignment on time. Modules will be given for those who do
not have access to technology.
WRITING REQUIREMENTS:
1. Use 1" margin all around.
2. Typed, double-space all text except long quotes in 12-point type in Arial, or Times Roman only.
3. Start text 2 spaces down from Assignment
4. Use standard indent for paragraphs
5. Do not skip a space for a new paragraph
6. Number each page in the lower right hand corner
7. Be sure your last name is on each page, page 2 and beyond
8. Make a copy of your paper before you turn it in.
9. Evaluation of your written work will be based primarily upon clarity in organization and
development of ideas. 
10.  Be sure to include a clear thesis statement at the end of your introduction.  Put it in bold type.

general, and thus reflect shallowness of thought on the part of the writer.
 A pattern of organization exists, but it is inconsistently or incompletely carried out.
 Some paragraphs lack supporting detail or adequate explanations and contain sentences only loosely
connected, lacking transitions.
 Most sentences are grammatically correct, but are often excessively wordy or vague; structure and style are
monotonous.

 What should the state do to pursue the afore-cited goals?

The youth shall be motivated, trained, organized and mobilized in military training, literacy, civic
welfare and other similar endeavours in the service of the nation.

 What is the National Service Training Program (NSTP) all about?

It is a program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and defensepreparedness in the youth 
by developing the ethic of service and patriotism whileundergoing training in any of its three (3)
program components.

 What are the three (3) program components of NSTP?

1. Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)

 – is a program institutionalized
under section 38 and 39 of RA 7077 designed to provide military training to tertiary-
levelstudents in order to motivate, train, organize and mobilize them for defense preparedness.

2. Literacy Training Service (LTS)

– is a program designed to train students to become teachers of literacy and numeric skills to
school children, out-of school youth and other segments of society in need of their services.

3. Civic Welfare Training Services (CWTS)
– refer to the programs or activities contributory to the general and betterment of life for the
members of the community or the enhancement of its facilities, especially those devoted to
improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and morals of
the citizenry.

 Who are covered by the NSTP Law?

Students, male and female, of any baccalaureate degree course or at least two  (2) – year
technical – vocational courses in public and private educational institutions shall be required to
complete one (1) of the NSTP components as requisite for graduation.

State universities and colleges shall offer the ROTC component and at least one
other component as provided herein: Provided, further, that private higher and technical –
vocational education institutions may also offer the ROTC if they have at least three hundred
and fifty (350) cadet students.

 What if a student is a second degree taker? A graduate associate course before SY

2003-2004? Or, a transferee who took the NSTP from other University?
Based on RA No. 9163, Rule 3, sections 4a1, 4a2 and 4a3, students who finished or graduated
before SY 2003-2004 are exempted to take the NSTP. Also, exempted are those students who
completed any of the three components but considered freshmen to the course where they
transferred or shifted; foreign students; and students of Philippine Merchant Marine Academy,
Philippine National Police Academy, and Philippine Military academy in view of the special
character of these institutions.

 What is the time duration and equivalent course unit of each of the NSTP Component?
Rule 6, sections 6a and 6b of republic Act No. 9163 clarified the course duration of NSTP
wherein every student shall take only one NSTP component for an academic period of two
semesters which consist of 3 units per semester with a minimum of 54 hours and a maximum
of 90 training hours per semester. It can also be undertaken for one summer program in lieu of
the two semesters if the institution allows it.

 What fees shall be charged to students taking any of the NSTP component?
This question is best answered by referring to Rule 4, section 9 of the NSTP law which states
that:
“No fees shall be collected for any of the NSTP components except basic tuition, which
should not be more than fifty (50%) percent of the charges of the school per academic unit.”

However, Higher Education Institutions may require minimal fee for uniform and other
expenses with consent from the concerned authorities. The reason for this is for identification
and safety of the students since most of the NSTP Programs are done outside the school.

 What will the students receive after completing NSTP Program?

 Every student will be given a certificate of completion with corresponding serial number issued
by CHED, TESDA, and DND as reflected in Rule 6, section 12 of NSTP Law. All graduates of
the CWTS and LTS components of the NSTP Program shall belong to the National Service
Reserve Corps (NSRC) and could be tapped by the state for literacy and civic welfare activities
especially in times of calamities, while those graduates of ROTC shall form part of the Citizen
Armed Forces pursuant to Republic Act No. 7077 as stipulated in rule 5, sections 11a and 11c
of the NSTP Law.
 What is the National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC)?

 Lesson 2 VALUES DEVELOPMENT FOR GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Objectives
 Define and expound on the nature and philosophical values of being a
Filipino
 Cite popular Filipino values of good citizenship
 Relate the concepts discussed to real-life situations
What is a good Filipino citizen?
A good Filipino citizen is one who plays an active and intelligent role as a member of  the
community. He is one who fulfils his duties and obligations to the government and society. He
possesses the traits of respectfulness, courtesy and consideration for parents and elders and for
others. He observes punctuality, promptness, and good moral conduct.

How can you become good citizens?

You can become good citizens by living in accordance with the good citizenship values we
can derive from the preamble of the1987 constitution:
“We the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God in order to build a just
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 Filipino values presented in the preamble have been simplified and categorized into the
following:

I - Pagkamaka-Diyos.
A. Faith in the Almighty God
- This is the basic value to put God in the center of your lives and communicate with
Him by means of prayers. We should look to Him as our ultimate source, the one with
infinite powers to help us in our work, to enable us to meet our needs, and to get us out of
our trouble and crisis. With this experience, we become fully aware of the things we can
accomplish when we live a life of faith.

B. Respect for life

- your life and own humanity is a gift from God, created from His own image and
likeness which makes you a person of worth and dignity as persons and grow to appreciate
each other’s’ worth by keeping an open mind and charitable attitude so you may be able to
appreciate others’ giftedness and special roles in your life and in the society.

Your body is God’s temple, it is sacred and by all means you should be  responsible for it
because any form of violence against it defies the sanctity of life. Our natural human rights
protect you from anything that endangers your life and wellbeing. You should also be
responsible for upholding the rights of others. You shall not be an advocate of violence or
any means that may harm the life and dignity of others.
 C. Order
- The value of order is doing “first things first. “It is simply doing the right thing at the right
time and right place without hesitation. Order entails the discipline of mind  emotion and
action. We need these so that we can lay a peaceful successful and productive life.
Otherwise it will trigger situations of panic unrest confusion havoc and anarchy. You should
understand that the value of order is important in your quest to improve yourselves as
citizens. You should learn to strive hard in arranging your lies in a certain way that will allow
you to serve as inspiration to others by your examples and by meaningful life guided by the
order everyday.
D. Work
“Give a man a fish and he will live for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he will live for
a lifetime.”
- Chinese proverb
- Work is a gift and it has become part of our nature and destiny. God has given us
talents to use as investments in our work and in return we are expected to settle for
nothing less than excellent results. Hard work, quality work, and honest work are what
make a citizen a good, productive, and self-reliant member of the society. It is also
important that you have the right values and attitudes toward your work and dealings.
You should always remember that no matter how much work you do what counts in the
end is not the volume of work but the amount of love you put into your work. Learn to
work with love, integrity and honesty to achieve excellent results.
E. Concern for the family and future generations
“Respetuhin natin ang ating ina dahil ilaw siya ng tahanan. Bigyang galang ang ama at
ang payo ang susundin. Sa magkakapatid kailangan ay magmahalan. Nararapat lang na
pagusapan ang hindi pag-uunawaan.”
This value emphasizes that your family is a gift from God and that utmost attention must
be focused on the family - a sanctuary of life and a core unit of society. You draw
inspiration and strength from you family and in return you are expected to do your
responsibilities as a member of the family to keep it intact and strong against the forces
that tend to destroy its values and sense of unity.
II - Pagkamaka-Tao
A. Love
“Ang tenga kapag pinagdikit korteng puso…extension ng puso ang tenga
kaya kapagmarunong kang makinig marunong kangmagmahal...”
- Bob Ong
- Love means so much to us simply love is the answer to our many questions during
these trying times. It is by love that you care respect, accept, forgive and trust. But why
is it that our nation has never moved forward if we all have LOVE within us?
Maybe not all of us ever learned how to live in love which holds us back to love others.
This is what the Almighty God wants you to learn; learn to LOVE.
Love entails sacrifice, responsibility and service. Love binds us together as a nation.
Love is the key to our national progress. Legit love be in the beginning the middle and
the end of our history as a nation
B. Freedom, independence and democracy
“Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought”
- Pope John Paul II
- Freedom is the power to act or not to act. God gave out lives, and with that comes
the freedom to choose what you want to make with it. The freedom our nation is
enjoying now is the fruit of love, hardship and sacrifices of our ancestors. EDSA I and II
are examples of events in our history as a nation that showed how we protected our
freedom from tyrant leaders and anarchy.
You should practice freedom with a clear understanding of its limits, with a sense
of discipline and chastity which will lead you to love your fellowmen understand their
plight, and do what is good and right while avoiding what is wrong and evil.
C. Peace
 - Peace begins with you. Peace is a God-given gift that you must nurture by prayer. This
can be attained and sustained when you develop a deep consciousness of your faith in
God, concern for your fellowmen loyalty to your country and respect for
your environment.

“Peace means serenity of mind simplicity of heart and tranquillity of soul”

-St. Augustine
You should be a person of peace a builder of harmony among your fellowmen. You
should strive hard to foster the value of peace in your personal endeavors.
D. Truth
- The value of truth is living and loving passionately with honesty and sincerity. Truth is
important in our society because it is the condition for freedom. It entails transparency,
honesty, integrity, sincerity, courage and humility. The truth also demands sacrifices and
efforts but it is a worthy cause that highlights your own capacity as a person to do well
and live with integrity. You are a person of integrity; let truth strengthen your character
by honesty and responsibility. Honesty should be applied in all your roles in life because
the truth will set you free and it should always prevail.
“There is no truth and no good in lies.”
E. Justice
- You value justice by means of promoting ethical practices that enhance the essence of
social justice. It also means the promotion of a healthy and humane working condition,
fair and legal labor practices, correct use of power, moving purposefully away from graft,
corruption and other evils. Justice is important in our life because it ensures us that our
society fosters an atmosphere that respects human dignity, security, and one that allows
every person equal opportunity to pursue posterity, development and happiness.

III – Pagkamaka-Bayan
A. Unity
“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand, and if house is divided
against itself, that house will not be able to stand”
-Mark 3:24-25
When you say unity is a good citizenship value, you mean that all Filipino citizens are
expected to be one as a people.
It also means that YOU:
 Want your country to be united always.
 Are able to think of others as you would of yourselves.
 Are willing to lend a helping hand to others.
 Want and are willing to work for what is the best for your countrymen.

These show that whether in our country or organizations, civic or church, we ought to be
united, for the devil like the preying lion, divides and conquers.
A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. “You should put aside division, and agree
to work as one this is not easy to do, but it is something you must do. It is a heroic task.
But remember, you, are called to be a hero. This is a time for heroes.
B. Equality
“There will never be real equality so long as one feels inferior or superior to another”
- Mahatma Gandhi
This value means treating one another with equality and utmost dignity, respect
for fellow human beings, regardless of religion or cultural orientation, sex, social status,
race, etc. All men are created equal and have every right to be treated fairly in the
interest of love and justice. As good citizens, you should therefore refrain from
making irrational judgments of people; act conscientiously and decisively to protect each
person’s right to equality. This is essential in establishing a community of happy, loving,
caring and peaceful people.
 C. Respect for law and government rule of law
- You should be a law-abiding citizen regardless of who sits at the helm of the
government. Laws and governments are meant to serve our own interests as citizens
and not of the interest of the few, especially those who are in positions of power and
authority. You should seek ways to know the laws more so that you may be able to
follow them with more understanding and also strive hard to appreciate the government
and its functions so that you can contribute to the efforts of improving the lives of your
countrymen. You should not allow your values to be compromised by illegal acts
and practices. Strive to take a critical stand in making a decision to follow laws and
appreciate the work of government.

D. Patriotism
- Patriotism is every person’s sense of duty and responsibility: to contribute to
development of our country, protecting our integrity, and upholding the rights and dignity
of our people. Being proud of our personal and national identity and being responsible
voters are some of the concrete examples on how we cultivate the value of patriotism.

E. Common good
- The term common good refers to the sum of the total of goods and social conditions
which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfilment more fully
and more easily.
The common good consists of three elements:
Respect for the person as such—his fundamental and inalienable human rights.
The social well-being and development of the group itself.
The peace for the stability and security of a just order.
The basic value of promotion of the common good clearly brings together other basic
values and illustrates how the basic values are related and reinforce each other,
e.g. :faith in Almighty God, unity, patriotism, work, love, peace and equality. To promote
common good is an obligation of every member of society. It is to share what you have
to the other members of society who need your help most so that their human dignity will
be upheld. In doing this, you should be sincere and willing to be counted in the work of
promoting the common good since the government needs all citizens to join in this
mission.

IV – Pagkamaka-Kalikasan
A. Concern for the environment
- God made us stewards of His creation. You are aware that your existence and that
of generations after you are threatened by the destruction of the environment. In this
alarming situation, you should develop a sense of urgency in the way you treat
your environment: respect the integrity of creation by means of using all environment
resources properly and prudently. It is in every person’s mission of stewardship that he
or she be more conscious of his/her actions when he/she relates with the environment.
You should treat Mother Nature as your own mother and masterpiece, giving it great
care and appreciating its wonder and beauty. The acts could be as simple as throwing
that candy wrapper on the garbage can instead of car or jeepney windows, avoiding the
use of plastics, re-using your old clothes instead of buying new ones and the likes.
Nature is God’s grace to you that’s why you should take care of it so that you will have
clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, clean ocean to launch adventures and above
all, a life that’s healthy and a future worthy to be shared to the next generation. These
are the values embedded in the preamble of 1987 Philippine Constitution; this module
clearly explained the meaning of the values and responsibilities we have to do to be
good citizens of the Philippines. Remember, this value is innately given to us by God.
We should know how to use it properly taking into consideration not only our welfare,
but also that of others for the betterment of our country.

Lesson 3 BASIC LEADERSHIP

Objectives
 Distinguish leader from leadership in terms of content, roles and process
 Determine the level of impact of building blocks in leadership through life
experiences
 Concretize the principles of servant leadership
 Explain the advantages and disadvantages of leadership behaviours
 Evaluate characteristics that reflect leadership behaviour through
leadership tools.

Pre – activity:
Pretend that you and your friends witness a vehicular accident. Your friends did not move
out of shock. You noticed a victim lying on the pavement still conscious. If you were to act as a
leader in that scene, how would you respond to the situation?
Defining Leader and Leadership
Microsoft Encarta 2006 has defined leader in three key roles:
1. As a Guide – where the leader assumes the role as the director, organizer, mentor, guru,
and adviser.
2. As a Frontrunner – where the leader can be a spearhead, leading light, trailblazer, and
ground breaker.
3. As a Head – where he or she can be called chief, manager, superior, principal, boss, and
supervisor.
Leadership – is defined as a process of giving control, guidance, headship, direction, and
governance. It is synonymous with the basic principles of management. In fact, leading is one
of the action words and components of management field, though, it has different perspectives.
Building Blocks in Leadership
A leader is a human like you. Sometimes you also experience failures. But what makes it
laudable is when you take the initiative to reflect from your failures and work to conquer them.
Below are some factors that cause failures in leadership. Reflect on your experiences. For each
identified building block check ( ) the column, where you find such block as either easy to
overcome or difficult to overcome.
Building Block Easy to Difficult to
overcome overcome
1. Selfishness, self-centeredness
2. Pessimism
 3. Passivity (inactive/not resourceful)
4. Insecurity
5. Recognition seeker
6. Subjectivity/bias/partiality
7. Lack of dedication/commitment/sincerity
8. Dishonesty/corruption
9. immorality
10. Conceitedness/boastfulness

Recall an incident in the past where you had the opportunity to lead your group but you failed.
Discuss to class the causes of your failures. How did you overcome such?
Servant Leadership
“The law of service: He who wishes to live long must serve, but he who wishes to rule does
not live long.” – Hesse,
The new trend now in leadership is termed as “Servant Leadership”. Different views on this
emanated from pious doctrines where Jesus Christ depicted as the best model of servant leader. A
leader who humbled Himself to serve His disciples especially when He performed the “washing of
the feet” symbolizes humility and humbleness of Christ.

Ten Principles of Servant Leadership

1. Listening Seeks to identify the will of a group and helps clarify that will. The servant
leader seeks to listen receptively to what is being said.
2. Empathy Strives to understand and empathize with others. People need to be
accepted and recognized for their special and unique spirits.
3. Healing Becomes one of the greatest strengths of servant leadership, the potential
for healing one’s self and others whereby many people have broken spirits
and have suffered from a variety of emotional hurts.
4. Awareness Aids the servant leader in understanding issues that involve ethics and
values and view most situations from a more integrated and holistic
position.
5. Persuasion Reminds servant leader to give primary reliance on persuasion rather than
positional authority in making decisions within an organization.
6. Conceptualization Seeks to nurture the servant leader’s abilities to “dream great dreams”.
The ability to look at a problem (or an organization) from a conceptualizing
perspective means that one must think beyond day-to-day realities with
sensible and functional ideas.
7. Foresight Enables the servant leader to understand the lessons and events from the
past, the realities and phenomena from the present, and the likely impact
of a decision from the future.
8. Stewardship Prioritizes the needs of others and emphasizes the use of openness and
persuasion rather than control.
9. Commitment to the Makes servant leaders believe that people have an essential value beyond
Growth of People their concrete contributions as workers thereby the servant leader is
deeply committed to the growth of each individual.
10. Building Community Suggests that true community can be created among those who work in
businesses and other institutions.

Greenleaf as cited by Frick (2004) said: “ All that is needed to rebuild community as a viable life
form for large numbers of people is for enough servant leaders to show the way, not by mass
movements, but by each servant leader demonstrating his/her own unlimited liability for a quite
specific community related group.”
Leadership Behaviors
 Four types of leadership are listed below. Examine each type carefully and find out which
one applies to you as a leader.
1. Authoritarian Leadership – leads men by means of the rank position. A self-centered type of
leadership where the leader believes he or she is the only one capable of directing the
subordinates.
2. Paternalistic Leadership – leads men by always setting an example. This type of a leader
manifests an example of a father, who seems to be always after the welfare of his children.
3. Participative Leadership – makes the men participate actively in the activity or task in the
organization but reserves the right to make final decisions on critical matters.
4. Laisse-Faire Leadership – leaves decision making to the subordinates. The leader will give
assignment, and then it is up for the subordinates to accomplish the task in whatever manner
they can.

The following instruments (adapted from Smith, 1997) can help

you as a leader at all levels to obtain valuable feedback from the group you supervise. Some
instruments are self-assessment to aid you in appraising your strengths and weaknesses in
leadership roles.

The highest number designates your Primary Team Player Style. If your highest numbers are the
same or within three points of each other, consider them both as your primary style. The lowest
total indicates your Least Active Team Player Style.

Your Primary Team Player Style defines a set of behaviors that you use most often as a member
of a team. It does not mean that it is the only style that you use. All of us have the capacity to use
any one of the four styles. We simply use one style – our primary style – more often.
