manners and right conduct as well as
values education was signed into law by
President Duterte. Thus, named as

inculcate in the youth basic tenets such as
“caring for oneself, giving concern for
others, according proper respect to people,

5. The relevance of Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) as a subject heightened
the urgent need to strengthen the moral fiber of society.
For national moral recovery, the Department of Education, Culture and Sports
introduced the DECS Values Education Program in 1998 emphasizing social
reform through the inner transformation of the individual. That was in support of
President Corazon Aquino’s 1988 Moral Recovery Program.
The DECS Values Education Program had as its centerpiece the offering of
Values Education as a subject in all Grade levels the same subject is offered in
the K to 12 Curriculum with a new name Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao.

7. The teaching of EsP has cognitive, behavioral
(psychomotor) and affective dimensions. It begins with
the student’s understanding of the concept of responsibility
to himself/herself, his/her family, fellowmen, country, world
and God (pag unawa sa mga konsepto sa kanyang
pananagutan) which lead to decision-making and
responsible action (nakakapagpasaya at nakakakilos ng
mapanagutan).
Effective EsP touches the minds the hearts and the hands
of the students not just their minds. Effective EsP makes
the student realize that responsibility has a horizontal and
vertical dimension. He/she has to reach out to his/her

Principles in the
Teaching of
Edukasyon sa
Pagpapakatao

9. 01
Values are both taught and caught
The EsP teacher must teach the cognitive
aspect of virtue intentionally and must live to

10. 02
Values cannot be separated from
understanding although values and
attitudes relate to the affective dimension.

11. 03
At young age, a child may not yet be capable of understanding
his/her true personhood but can be
taught to lead a virtuous life that early for him to develop good
character.
The book of Proverbs states,
“Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he
will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22.6)

12. 04 Values education is about developing virtues, good
habits, and dispositions which had students to
responsible and mature adulthood.
Effective value education must promote the development of virtue. Virtues are
developed through learning and through practice. As Aristotle taught, a person
can improve his or her character by practicing self-discipline, while a good can be
corrupted by repeated self-indulgence.
The virtuous person is the ethical person. Margaret Thatcher said: “Watch your
thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become
character. Watch your character for it becomes your destiny.”

13. 05
Values Education is concerned with relationships,
personhood is rooted in relationships. We develop our
personhood in relationship with others. One’s
development is inseparably related to others. No one
attains his/her personhood without others.

14. 06
An effective values education takes place in an
atmosphere of respect, tolerance and genuine
understanding. The EsP teacher shares and offers
his/her value system with the students or students also
share their value systems in class without imposing them
on others.
