INTRODUCTION
SUMMARY1
The DECS values education program was introduced by Dr. Lourdes Quisumbing, then
secretary of the DepEd Culture and Sports through a department order. The order served as a
guide in the schools organization of their values education program.
Values education is the process by which values are formed in the learner under the
guidance of the teacher and as he interacts with his environment.
Values education involves not just any kind of teacher-learning process; it has a direct and
immediate relevance to the personal life of the learner. The process is not just cognitive, but
involves all the faculties of the learner. The teacher must appeal not only to the mind but the
heart as well. This learning is by identification; hence, the teachers’ personal values play an
important role in values learning.
ANALYSIS
There were famous Filipino educators whose work is undeniably contributed to the
present Philippine education setting. I truly believe that these educators had an impact on how
Filipino teachers deals with the present Filipino learners and adapting to the continuous changing
on education system.
Dr. Camilo Osias School has an important role in the development of dynamic nationalism
and internationalism in relation to democracy in the education of the youth: “High educational
institutions should do more to turn out graduates who can think logically, scientifically and
creatively.” “Our education should instill love for work, spirit of tolerance, respect for law, love
for peace and practice of thrift. Dr. Osias’ suggestions to Philippine schools: 1. Preserve the
solidarity of Filipino; 2. Maintain the unity of the Philippines; 3. Work out a proper equilibrium in
economic order; 4. Develop social justice; 5. Observe the merit system in government service; 6.
Promote peace and national defense; 7. Uphold the inalienable rights of life, property, liberty,
and happiness; 8. Keep in their prestige majesty the fundamental freedom, especially freedom
of speech, freedom of press, freedom of peace and assembly, and freedom of worship;9.
Conserve the principle of equality; 10. Hold high the ideals of religion; 11. Keep over aloft the
torch of education, and 12. Make democracy a living and functional reality.
Palma “Education must produce individuals who are both useful to themselves and to
society.” Jorge Jacobo prepared himself well for any task that awaited him. Into any undertaking,
he always put the best of his energies and, to use his own expression, "made the failure of any
work which I undertake my own failure, its success my own success." He stressed that Filipino
culture and tradition should be the bases of education in the Philippines. According to him, the
educational concept is closely related to nationalism and love of country. He also stressed that
education in this country should prepare the child for the democratic way of life.
Apolinario Mabini “Thou shalt cultivate the special gifts which had been granted thee,
working and studying according to thy ability, never leaving the path of righteousness and justice
in order to attain thine own perfection.”
Pardo De Tavera “Our education should instill love for work, spirit of tolerance, respect
for law, love for peace and practice of thrift.”
Francisco Benitez, The qualities that should distinguish the educated Filipinos of today are
(1) power to do (2) knowledge of the past and current events and (3) possession of the elements
of conduct that area the accomplishment of culture and morality. “The function of our school is
neither to fit the individual for the past which is dead and gone, nor to prepare him for a remote
future which is problematic, rather it is to train the individual so that he will be a member of the
world as it is.”
Dr. Lourdes Quisumbing “Believes that education must strengthen the dignity of the
learner as a human person. As such, the various dimensions of man’s personhood has to be fully
developed by the school system through an effective and systematized values education.”
Venancio Trinidad “Education should aim to develop men and women who are as deeply
concerned in the development and uplift of our communities, particularly in the rural areas, as
in the promotion of their own personal or individual well-being.”
CONCLUSION:
The Filipino value system arises from our culture or way of life, our distinctive way of
becoming human in this particular place and time. We speak of Filipino values in a fourfold sense.
First, although mankind shares universal human values, it is obvious that certain values take on
for us a distinctively Filipino flavor. When we speak of Filipino values, we do not mean that
elements of these Filipino values are absent in the value systems of other peoples and cultures,
Universal human values in a Filipino context (historical, cultural, socio-economic, political, moral
and religious) take on a distinctive set of Filipino meanings and motivations. Lastly we can speak
of Filipino values in the sense that the historical consciousness of values has evolved among our
people.
A philosophy of education for Filipinos must also consider the Filipino behavioral context.
Our negative traits must be and taken in tow, and efforts must be expended to transform the
Filipino from selfish, indolent, grasping, uncaring man into the independent, hard-working
concerned man.
