    Philippine Constitution.

    We, the sovereign Filipino people


    imploring the aid of Almighty god,
    in order to build a just and humane society
    and establish a Government
    that shall embody our ideals and aspirations,
    promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony,
    and secure to ourselves our posterity the blessings of independence
    and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth,
    justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace,

    The Good Citizenship Values Clusters

    Faith in the Almighty God


    The Bible says, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God
    must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6)

    Respect for Life


    We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person – unless it be for murder
    or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.
    Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear sign, yet, even after that, many of
    them continued to commit excesses in the land (5:32) Qur’an.

    Order
    Assuredly, We have sent down the Book to you in right form for the good of man. Whoso
    guided himself by it does so to his own advantage, and whoso turns away from it does so at his
    own loss. You certainly are not their keeper (39:41) Qur’an.

    Work
    Confucius says, “Give fish to a man, he will have food to eat for a day; teach him how to fish
    and he shall have food throughout his lifetime.” And, “if man will not work, he shall not eat” (2
    Thessalonians 3:10).

    Concern for the Family and Future Generations

    “The family is an essential factor in the general, social and even political life. Constant living
    together of husband and wife, and of parents and children, contributes to the development of a
    strong sense of duty, of an aptitude for heroic sacrifices, and of the love by future generations of
    the traditional and moral conquest of those who preceded them. The family is an indispensable
    element of social cohesion and equilibrium”.
    I shall live a life that is based on the right values and serve as an inspiration to others who
    may be struggling to strengthen their own faith in God.

    1. I have the gift of faith in God;


    2. The gift of faith in God in me needs to be nurtured;
    3. My life is strengthened by my faith in God; and
    4. A strong faith in God, coupled with other important values, will improve my life and
    those of others.
