MODULE 2

GOOD CITIZENSHIP VALUES

Overview:

As citizens of the Republic of the Philippines, our values as Filipinos define our identityas people.
As such, we must strictly impose these values on ourselves – regardless of age,status or religion.
We must see to it that we observe these values in all our actions, at alltimes and in all
circumstances. Embodying these values will not always be a piece of cakebut will bring great
rewards for us and our country in the near future.

Good citizenship stimulates love of country making the seemingly gargantuan task ofbuilding the
nation easier. Through good citizenship, even the poor, the young, and the oldcan contribute to
nation building. Good citizenship likewise strengthens unity. As Filipinos,we have our shared values
which can be a strong force to unite us as people despite ourdifferences.Our nation is oftentimes
in crisis. And at these times, people are suffering. Bybeing good citizens, we will not be a part of
the problem instead, we will be a part of thesolution.

NSTP, as citizenship training, focuses on translating the good citizenship values asreflected in the
Preamble of the 1987 Philippine Constitution into concrete actions in buildinga better Philippines.

Objectives:

At the end of this module, you should be able to: • discuss the good citizenship values; • identify
some basic Filipino values; • identify the Filipino values system; and, • cite situations which Filipino
values are depicted.

Course Materials:

A good Filipino citizen is one who plays an active and intelligent role as a member ofthe
community. The one who is responsible for his duties and obligations to the governmentand
society. The one who possesses the traits of respectfulness, courtesy, and considerationfor parents
and elders and for others. The one who observes punctuality, promptness, andgood moral
conduct.

1 Unit 1: The Maka-Diyos Cluster

1. Faith in the Almighty God – A good Filipino obeys God and lives according to His teachings.

One of the identified strengths of the Filipino is their faith in God. In one way or another, Filipinos
have a basic concept of a Supreme Being who to them always gives a beacon of hope no matter
how bleak the current situation may be. This makes them resilient, driven by great hope stemming
from their faith in Someone whom they believe has the power to deliver them from even the most
miserable situation.

This is quite evident in the Filipinos’ response during the onslaught of disasters. From disasters
brought about by natural phenomenon such as earthquakes and storms to manmade ones like the
tragic garbage landslide in Payatas, the Filipino always bounces back as if the disasters and
tragedies did not happen.
It is also this trait that brings conviction to a Filipino not to do anything bad, for the same Supreme
Being who watches over him will be the same eyes who shall judge him should he engage in
wrongdoings.

2. Respect for Life – A good Filipino recognizes the absolute value of human life and the human
dignity of every person including himself.

Being pro-life means not engaging in abortion nor being in favor of it. Being pro- life includes
valuing other people – how they feel, what could harm their physical, mental, moral, and spiritual
well-being. Among the practices that show respect to others and their dignity as a person are not
smoking in public, not throwing litter which will cause accidents or put their health in peril, not
saying words that will hurt people and scar them for life.

Most importantly, being pro-life means valuing oneself and seeing oneself as a person of great
worth and value. When one respects life, he will take good care of his hygiene, he is mindful of the
things that he says about himself, and he will be careful not to do things that will harm his moral,
spiritual, physical, and social well-being. .3. Order – A good Filipino values orderliness.

Valuing order means respecting laws and procedures. By following these sets of laws and/or
procedure in the home, school, and the community as a whole, one respects the human rights of
others and invites excellence in everything one does.

Setting things in order could range from maintaining cleanliness in the home, to coming to school
on time, to falling in line, and to following traffic rules and regulations.

2 4. Work – A good Filipino values diligence and excellence in everything one does. He earns an
honest living and does not engage in crime and corruption. He goes to school on time, does his
homework, and participates in school activities. He does his best in everything and is not
contented with the mediocre.

As a worker, Filipinos are versatile, hardworking, and creative. In practically every nation of the
world, Filipinos are fast becoming valued business partners and treasured workers. This could be
attributed to the Filipinos’ inherent diligence, coupled with authentic concern, and peppered with
another good Filipino trait – his sense of humor. Filipinos don’t mind taking on any kind of work
and are great salesmen and negotiators. Not to be taken negatively, the Filipino could make great
sales pitches. He is good in selling ideas. From the ordinary man on the street selling rags, to the
businessman in his Makati office trying to close a deal.

The Filipinos are likewise very creative. He is the only one who could sell practically all parts of a
chicken and name them creatively as well – a helmet for chicken’s head; adidas for chicken feet,
and betamax (after its shape) for chicken’s blood to name a few. He could almost always find
something to laugh about even in the harshest work conditions.

5. Concern for the Family and Future Generations – A good Filipino looks after the welfare of one’s
family and the future generation. One helps in household chores, has a loving relationship with all
the members of the family, is kind and considerate to them, and shows a good example to the
younger members.
As the basic unit of society, the family is the child’s first glimpse of community, hence, it is
important that children are shown good examples in their respective homes early in life. Whatever
is learned from the family has big implications on how one is going to treat other people in one’s
community. Among the good practices that a family could adopt is open communication. A child
raised in a family which has maintained open communication is most unlikely to turn to harmful
influences for solutions to problem or for affirmation.

3 Unit 2: The Maka-Tao Cluster

1. Love – A good Filipino looks after the good and welfare of one’s fellow human beings.

Love should always be the driving force when we want to achieve or do something. This does not
refer to romantic love alone. As a leader, family member, or a member of the society, we can
exercise the value of love. A heart motivated by love will always look after other people’s welfare.
This person is kind and compassionate, forgives offenses and is not vengeful. This person has a
sacrificial heart and is always willing to extend help to the less fortunate.

A person filled with love will always see the goodness in every person. This does not mean
however that one will allow other people to look down upon him or trample on his rights like a
doormat. Instead, speaking the truth in love, he gently instructs the erring person on the things
that he is doing wrong.

If the wrongdoing involves violation of the law, he does not tolerate or cover up the wrongdoing
but submits the matter to the proper authorities. He remains supportive until the person has
corrected his erroneous ways.

2. Freedom – A good Filipino asserts one’s rights especially if it means being able to do the right
thing.

One respects the freedom of others; doesn’t impose one’s will on others; exercise one’s freedom
responsibly so that one will do no harm to anyone; does not use coercion or intimidation to make
others do what one wants them to do or what one wants them to be.

3. Peace – A good Filipino lives and works in harmony with one’s fellow human beings.

A Filipino avoids violence as a way of settling disputes and looks for ways to resolve conflict in a
peaceful way. He maintains a harmonious relationship with others, at home, at work, in the
community; and helps clear out misunderstanding among friends and family members.

A peace-loving Filipino stops conflict whenever and wherever one can. This includes not passing
gossip and unkind words around for the sake of socialization. One understands that words and
news blown out of proportion destroys friendships and harmonious relationships and could ruin a
person for life. When you are not part of the problem nor part of the solution, even if the news is
true – it is categorized as gossip.

One’s upbringing or the shortcomings of the community one lives in shouldn’t be the gauging
mechanism why one would observe peace. A peaceful person does not rely on the absence of
chaos to exercise peace.

4 In the movie Magnifico, a supposedly simpleminded ordinary boy served as an agent of peace. In
the seemingly complicated world of adults looking after their own interests or busy solving
conflicts or fighting their own battles, Magnifico showed love, compassion, and selflessness. In the
end, his example became a catalyst of peace and love in his family and the community he lives in.
He showed them that in a world where everyone is practically shouting, all it takes is a gentle,
selfless voice to get everyone to listen.

4. Truth – A good Filipino stands up for the truth and avoids intrigue and mudslinging and values
integrity in one’s life, family, work, and country. He observes proper pricing of goods and does not
patronize nor is he a cohort in fixing or bribing in business transactions. He admits his mistakes
and does something to correct his fault.

5. Justice – A good Filipino gives everyone their due even if it is difficult. He does not oppress or
take advantage of anyone. He is fair in all his dealings especially with the poor and powerless, not
getting more than what is rightfully his.

Unit 3: The Maka-Bayan Cluster

1. Unity – A good Filipino works with and cooperates with others.

Unity does not mean a group of people should act the same nor should they sport the same
hairstyle and wear the same clothing. Just imagine how chaotic it would be if everyone wants and
does the same thing. Unity means synergizing the different talents and skills for the success of an
endeavor.

A good team player does not promote intrigue, dissension and mistrust. One helps others in the
family, school, and community grow and is genuinely happy for the achievements of the members
of his team even if that means the spotlight is not on him.

2. Equality – A good Filipino treats others as brothers and sisters being children of one God and
one nation.

One does not give preferential treatment to the rich and the powerful; treats everyone with respect
regardless of status or position; and does not take advantage of anyone because they are poor,
ignorant, or powerless.
5 3. Respect for the Law and Government – A good Filipino obeys the laws of the land and
supports government programs.

From simply not engaging in vandalism, to following traffic rules; to reporting lawbreakers, to
promoting stability of the nation, a good Filipino submits to the laws of his nation and will not
engage in anything that will threaten one’s country.

4. Patriotism – A good Filipino places high regard for one’s country.

He considers what is good for the country in his words and actions. This includes patronage of
native products and promotion of his country.He is mindful not to do that would give his country a
bad image. He takes extra care not to say anything that would malign the reputation of his
country. Statements like “ganito talaga sa Pilipinas, hindi na magbabago” or “huwag kayong
pupunta sa Pilipinas kung ayaw nyong manakawan” are sweeping derogatory statements that
malign our country and us Filipinos as well.

Being patriotic includes choosing wisely whom to vote during elections. A good Filipino does not
sell one’s rights or dignity as a person but instead entrusts the country’s welfare to the hands of
someone whom he knows has the capacity to really govern well.

Knowing one’s national emblems like the Philippine National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance
to the Filipino Flag is also an act of patriotism. Below are the lyrics of the Philippine National
Anthem and the words of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Filipino Flag.

Lupang Hinirang

Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo’y buhay Lupang hinirang, duyan
ka ng magiting Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong
bughaw May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y
tagumpay na nagniningning Ang bituin at araw nya, kalian pa ma’y di magdidilim Lupa ng araw ng
luwalhati’t pagsinta Buhay ay langit sa piling mo Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi Ang
mamatay ng dahil sa yo

6 Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat ng Pilipinas

Ako ay Pilipino, buong katapatang nanunumpa sa watawat ng Pilipinas At sa bansang kanyang

5. Promotion of the Common Good – A good Filipino puts the welfare of the greater number of
people over one’s own.

A good Filipino is not greedy and selfish; instead, one considers the welfare of others in everything
one does. Good examples of this are businessmen who do not mind foregoing the potential of
earning a sizable income from a development plan if it means endangering nature and people’s
health. Further, one helps the less fortunate and goes out of his way to engage in activities that will
benefit his fellow human beings especially in the area of poverty alleviation.

Unit 4: The Maka-Kalikasan Cluster

Concern for the Environment – A good Filipino conserves natural resources such as water,land and
air. One gets involved in efforts contributory to the welfare of the environment suchas planting
trees and implementing proper waste segregation. One keeps his surroundingsclean, and does not
throw garbage in canals and waterways.

We all like to do our share to help the environment. But as time goes on, we’re seeingnew
environmental concerns. We all need to be ready and prepared to tackle the 5 mainenvironmental
threats.

1. Biodiversity. Biodiversity is the most complex and vital feature of our planet. It is essentiallyevery
living thing and ecosystem that makes up the environment. From the tallest giraffe tothe smallest
microorganism, everything plays an important role in the maintenance of ourworld.

7 But with the increase in global warming, pollution, and deforestation, biodiversity is indanger.
Billions of species are going or have gone extinct all over the world. Some scientists,in fact, are
suggesting that we are in the beginning of a 6 th mass extinction, posing issues forour planet and
ourselves. Reducing our meat intake, particularly red meat, as well as makingsustainable choices
can help to keep our planet running smoothly.

2. Water. Water pollution is a huge concern for us and our environment. Not only is pollutedwater
a huge financial strain but is also killing both humans and marine life. With oil spills, anabundance
of plastic waste and toxic chemicals entering our waterways, we’re damaging themost valuable
resource our planet has to offer.

By educating people on the causes and effects of water pollution, we can worktogether to undo
the damage humans have caused. Laws also need to change to makepollution tougher,
consistently across national borders.

3. Deforestation. We need plants and trees to survive. They provide oxygen, food, water
andmedicine for everyone, all over the globe. But if deforestation continues at the rate
it’soccurring, we won’t have much of the valuable forestry left.

With natural wildfires, illegal logging and the mass amount of timber being harvestedfor
commercial use, our forests are decreasing at an alarming rate. As well as reducing oursupply of
oxygen, the loss of forests is contributing around 15% of our greenhouse gasemissions.To help,
you can buy more recycled and organic products, limiting the amount ofpaper and cardboard you
use.

4. Pollution. Pollution is one of the primary causes of many of the other environmentalconcerns,
including climate change and biodiversity. All 7 key types of pollution – air, water,soil, noise,
radioactive, light, and thermal – are affecting our environment.
All types of pollution, and environmental concerns, are interlinked and influence oneanother. So, to
tackle one is to tackle them all. That’s why we need to work together, as acommunity, to reduce
the impact that pollution is having on our environment.

5. Climate Change. As pointed out by a recent UN report, without ‘unprecedented changes’in our
actions and behavior, our planet will suffer drastically from global warming in just 12years.
Greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change, trapping in the sun’s heatand warming
the surface of the earth. An increased ocean temperature is affecting the sealife and ecosystems
habituated there. The rise in global sea levels is shrinking our land,causing mass floods and freak
weather incidents across the world. If we continue as we are,the world will suffer irreversibly.

Saying no to driving more will reduce your carbon footprint, as will switching offelectrical items
when they’re not in use. More importantly, we need to educate the world onthe effects and
severity of global warming, before it is too late.

Unit 5: The Filipino Values System

Before delving into the discussion of values – Filipino values, in particular – it is worthanalyzing the
word itself. The word “value” has its root in the Latin word “valere” which meansto be strong and
vigorous. This proceeds from the premise that a human person has to havestrength or valor in
every endeavor. It is the basis on which his strength in facing thechallenges of life should be
directed.

Dr. Tomas Q. D. Andres (1986) would define values as “things, persons, ideas or goalswhich are
important to life; anything which enables life to be understood, evaluated, anddirected.” 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 actualexperience of enjoying a desired object
or activity. Hence, value is an existing realization ofdesire.”

Collectively, the values of a society would be the standards or principles for which an actis judged
to be what is right or wrong, correct or incorrect. As such, it is the goal set for everymember of the
community to attain what is desirable. In other words, values in a society givemeaning and
direction to every individual’s life and influence his human behavior. Based onthese definitions, we
can say that values are those which are considered by the society asdesirable and important and
have attained the status as moral impetus behind every action ofeach member geared towards the
desired end or goal.

Understanding Filipino Values

The characteristic that makes a Filipino vary from different society is his uniquelyblended culture
and values from different influences. Filipino values, for reason of severalinfluences that shaped its
identity, are bipolar like a coin that has two sides. They may eitherbe positive or negative in
polarity. Let us take for example the value of utang na loob, or debtof gratitude. The value of
utang na loob, the altruistic drawing of interior goodness of a personby returning a debt of
gratitude, is by itself positive. However, when one is coerced to honora debt of gratitude and
return the favor, then it becomes negative.

9 Due to this ambivalence of Filipino values, they have the potential of being used for goodor evil.
They may either help or hinder personal and national development, depending on howthey are
understood or practiced or lived. In order to shape the Filipino society into asuccessful and
progressive nation, there is a need to reevaluate the different values thatinfluence every Filipino
individual’s action to a set of circumstances. We need to identify thepositive side of every Filipino
value and develop them in order to yield a more successful anddeveloped society.

According to factsanddetails.com and Philippines Australia Business Council, there arethree (3)
main traits that underlie the Filipino values and value-orientation These traits have astrong
influence in the behavior and mentality of the Filipinos. These also have an effect inthe Filipinos’
personal beliefs, cultural traditions and practices.

1. Personalism is a Filipino trait wherein they give importance to interpersonalrelations or face-to-

2. Familialism focuses on the welfare and interest of the family over those of thecommunity. The
family is the basis of group action and almost all community activity centerson the family. In
decision making, it is the family that decides rather than the individual onimportant matters. It
takes into consideration the welfare of the family and not the individual.The family’s honor, not the
personal image, that is at stake when a family member makes amistake.

3. Particularism relates to the strong family influence on the individual or groupbehavior. This is
shown when an individual strives to promote their own and their family’sinterest over the
community’s interest. Popularity among peers is prevalent and observable.Thus, Filipinos make
special efforts to entertain friends and relatives. Pakikisama is veryimportant. Conformity to proper
codes of conduct yields rewards of cooperation while non-conformity results to withdrawal of
support.

It is also important to know that there are three (3) main obligations that underlie theFilipino value
orientation namely – relational (pakikipagkapwa), emotional (damdamin) andmoral (karangalan).
One or all of these may have influence in Filipinos’ lives and socialrelationships.

Let us then try to discuss some of the values in the Filipino society and re-evaluate themto develop
a more positive value for the Filipino individual.

10 A. Utang na Loob

There is no specific translation that can approximate the meaning of this Filipino valueof utang na
loob. Debt of gratitude is a lean excuse of a translation because it does not evenapproximate the
fertile concept of the Filipino loob.
Utang na loob is a situation where an individual is required to return a favor or servicereceived.
However, the return of such service or favor cannot be translated into monetaryequivalent, 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 waitingshed (no
matter whether the money came from his pocket or from the government), this makesthe people
indebted to him. And when elections come, he recites the litany of his projects andpeople “ought”
to repay these through their votes. Not to repay this form of debt means thatthose who were
benefited are walang utang na loob. After having been elected, the peoplewould 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 loobbecomes 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 theconcept of
justice, truth, and human dignity, it would reflect the beautiful aspect of the Filipinocharacter. 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, soas blind his sense of
judgment. Furthermore, this value should be used discriminately. Thepagtatanaw ng utang na loob
should emerge from within the self of an individual with senseof 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, thegolden rule “Do
unto other as you would want them to do unto you.” By demanding the returnof the favor, would
you wish to become indebted in return? And when indebted, would youwant that person to act
the same way when they are demanding the return of the favor?

B. Bahala Na

Filipinos, by nature, are a religious group of people. They firmly believe in thesupernatural and in
all kinds of spirit dwelling in individual persons, places or things. Theybelieve in a Supreme Being
who will take care of things for them. The Filipino is very religiouswho has a saint to pray to each
day of the week.

The term bahala na comes from the words Bathala na. It reflects the Filipino'sdependence on the
supernatural being and on fate. This tends to move toward the commonlyconceived
procrastination character of the Filipino.

C. Mañana Habit

11 Mañana Habit can be traced back to the Spanish colonization era. The term “Mañana”is a
Spanish word that means “tomorrow”. This is a Filipino trait that enforces procrastination- practice
of putting off work to be done in the near future or in the last minute. This habit isexemplified
through the “Mamaya na” or “Bukas na”.

D. Ningas Kugon

The term Ningas Kugon translates to “burning of cogon grass”. As a Filipino trait, itmeans that
Filipinos tend to have a strong enthusiasm in the beginning of each work orendeavor but gradually
slows down and lose their drive to work and finish the job. It is saidthat in work Filipinos tend to
do their job half- baked or leave it unfinished.

E. Amor Propio

As a reinforcement to the Philippine trait of “Hiya” or shame, Filipinos are akin to thetraditional
attitude of saving “face”. Amor propio is another Spanish term that means a senseof self-esteem or
self-respect that prevents a person from swallowing his pride. It also meansego defensiveness or
maintaining one’s dignity and personal pride. According to thePhilippines Australia Business
Council, amor propio often implies a vindictive reaction toquestioning an individual’s action,
integrity, or honor.

F. Bayanihan

In an article titled “Filipino Culture: Bayanihan: The Filipino Value that Must be Retained”,it
describes bayanihan as:

“Bayanihan is a core essence of the Filipino culture. It is helping out one’s neighbor as
acommunity, and doing a task together, thus lessening the workload and making the job easier.It
is also called the ‘community spirit’. It is best exhibited when people wish to move locations inthe
rural area. The traditional Filipino house, the ‘bahay-kubo’, can be moved using woodenpoles
which are carried from the old place to the new one. This requires a group of people tolift and
carry the house on their shoulders. Able-bodied men usually participated in such feats,while
women stood and watched, casually chatting and cheering the men on. Afterwards, therewill be a
small gathering as a form of celebration and socialization.

12 Other strengths of the Filipino Character:

FILIPINO CHARACTER RESULTS Camaraderie and feeling of closeness to one another; foundation
for Pakikipagkapwa-tao unity as well as sense of social justice Family Oriented Feeling of
belongingness and rootedness and a basic sense of security Emotional balance, optimism, a
healthy disrespect for power and office Joy and Humor and the capacity to survive Flexibility and
Adaptability Productivity, innovation, entrepreneurship, equanimity and survival Productivity and
entrepreneurship for some and survival despite poverty Hardwork and Industry for others Courage,
daring, optimism, inner peace, as well as the capacity to Faith and Religiosity genuinely accept
tragedy and death Ability to Survive Bravely live through the harshest economic and social
circumstances

Other weaknesses of the Filipino Character:

FILIPINO CHARACTER RESULTS Extreme Personalism Leads to graft and corruption Lack of concern
for the common good and acts as the block to national Extreme Family Centeredness
consciousness Lack of Discipline Inefficient and wasteful work systems, violation of rules leading to
more serious transgressions and a casual work ethics leading to carelessness Passivity and Lack of
Initiative and lack of follow- through Easily resigned to one’s fate and thus easily oppressed and
exploited Basic feeling of national inferiority that makes it difficult for them to relate Colonial
Mentality as equal to Westerners Dampening of cooperative and community spirit and in the
trampling Kanya-kanya Syndrome upon of the rights of others Lack of Self- Analysis Emphasis on
form more than substance and Self – Reflection
