Since childhood, we have been by our parents basic morals and values that were combined with wisdom. During elementary we call it Christian Values and GMRC and in Middle School we call it ESP and Religion. But what does Values really mean?
Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in DepEd Memorandum no. 161 series of 2019, issued the guidelines on the conduct of this year’s observance of the Filipino Values Month. The FVM, she explained, “aims to mobilize all Filipinos for nation building through the practical exercise of human values in our daily lives as citizens and to awaken all to the power of these values in achieving the individual and national goals.”

Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in DepEd Memorandum no. 161 series of 2019, issued the guidelines on the conduct of this year’s observance of the Filipino Values Month. The FVM, she explained, “aims to mobilize all Filipinos for nation building through the practical exercise of human values in our daily lives as citizens and to awaken all to the power of these values in achieving the individual and national goals.”
Briones said that the FVM is pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 479, s. 1994. For this year, the theme of the FVM celebration is “Pamilyang Pilipino Patatagin: Susi sa Paghubog ng Kabataang Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakakalikasan at Makabansa” which “emphasizes the importance and critical role of the family in strengthening Filipino values and developing individuals who are pro-God, pro-people, pro-country, and pro-nature especially in this digital age.” Related to this, DepEd reminded all schools to observe and celebrate the FVM. Briones noted that all public and private schools are enjoined to conduct “simple yet meaningful activities promoting Filipino values.”
“Said activities must not be limited to having contests or competitions, exhibits of talents and innovations on creative arts, symposia or seminars, film showing or stage play on current issues related to the theme, but also incorporating values in lessons in all learning areas as we aspire to develop, manifest and advocate core Filipino values of Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakakalikasan at Makabansa,” Briones said.
Education is a big shortcut for people to earn success but no man with Education can live without morals and Values. Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed
