Lord, we offer to you our class today.
We pray that through your Divine Guidance,
we would learn how to listen attentively to the inputs of our
teacher and classmates.
May we appreciate all efforts in imparting knowledge to us.
May we participate actively in the discussions and activities, so
we could learn more while having fun.
May we value each other’s contributions as a building block
towards harmony and peace.
Grant that as we interact with one another, we recognize the
fact that all our learning activities should be accomplished for
your greater glory.
Grant that we recognize YOU in each of our classmates and
teachers.
As we would be able to apply correctly what we have learned
from school.
All these we ask in your powerful name.
Amen.
THE ESSENCE OF VALUES IN
NSTP
 Definition of Values
Values are ideals that guide or qualify our
personal conduct; they also serve as a mirror
of our personality and determinants of our
behavior.  Values are always positive; they
speak as the universal truth.
SIX DISTINCT ELEMENTS OF
FILIPINO CULTURE
 Values
 The content of the Filipino values is the Filipino myths
and religion while structures are the Filipino oral and
written traditions, churches, sacred places, temples
and mosques.  The Filipinos internalize these values of
their culture and thus create for themselves a “world
of meanings.”
 Basic Personality
  It is determined by the Filipino culture because of the
selection of those congruent types that are congruent
with the culture.  The content of the Filipino basic
personality is made up of Filipino beliefs and
knowledge while the structure is formed by the Filipino
initiation and various rituals and formal and informal
education.
 Basic Social Unit
  The family is the basic social unit which constitutes to
and maintains the Filipino values. The content of the
Filipino social unit is the family, groups and community
life while the structure is the lineage, marriage
descent, neighbourhood, peer group and villages.
 Politics     
 The Filipino politics are the Filipino ideas and
structures related to the distribution and channeling of
power within the Philippine society for its well-being,
order and regulation. The content of politics is the
Filipino traditional power units and democracy while
the structures are the law, parliament, councils, elders
and chiefs.
 Economics
 The Filipino economics are the ideas which the Filipino
society develops and the structures which it creates for
provision of food, clothing and shelter for its members. The
content of Philippine economics is the production by private
enterprises while its structure is capitalism and socialism.
  Technology
  Filipinotechnology includes all that the Filipinos have
invented to make their life easier, less arduous, and shifted
from the brink of mere survival thus changing their way of
life and giving them more control of their physical
environment. Its contents are communication and health
while its structure is composed of the various media,
professional organizations, medicine, hospitals and
laboratories.

UNDERSTANDING ONESELF –
A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE
 Self-awareness is the core foundation for
understanding human behaviour.  It is the
key to unlock one’s potentials and develop a
higher degree of self- fulfilment, and
satisfaction.  Discovering the power of self
provides us with the backbone to pursue life
goals in a more rational and decisive manner.

SOME BASIC GUIDELINES TO
SELF-KNOWLEDGE
 1. Know your strengths and weaknesses.
 2. Be open to feedback. The best way to discover oneself is
to allow others to be a mirror for you.
 3. Develop one’s openness to feelings. People may not be
comfortable when they are asked to express their feelings
but this could also be one authentic way of freeing yourself
from personal blocks and pretences.
 4. Be confident. Whatever you say, no matter what you
feel, presents a picture of who you are and what you are.
 5. Learn to appreciate people. Good or bad, they are
human beings. You can only appreciate them, however, if
you appreciate yourself.
 6. Trust yourself.
