The document outlines 10 principles of Makabayan, which is an integrative subject in the Philippine basic education curriculum. The principles emphasize that Makabayan is a work in progress developed from the community level, not imposed from above. It aims to engage students and acquaint them with how human society works, while preparing them for lifelong learning and livelihood. The main principle is integration across subjects to provide a holistic learning experience that reflects the complex real world. The goals for secondary-level Makabayan include students developing clear understanding and showing appreciation for Philippine and other cultures.
