Module 1Values Clarification

• Ganito kami noon paano kayo ngayon?

5
Definition

• Values

• - A principle, standard, or quality that has
  been freely chosen from alternatives and acted
  upon which is considered worthwhile or desirable

6

• Values Clarification is a process by which a
  person can discover values or principles through
  ones behavior, feelings, ideas and important
  choices one has made.
• It is during the early adult stage that an
  individual can really clarify what decision in
  his/her life had a major influence on ones
  personality. Thus, this process can help one
  understand his/her character and the choices that
  a person will make in the future.
• A person is continually developing his/her
  values values can never be static but must be
  continually re-chosen as a person matures. As a
  person grows, he/she is continually choosing
  values and fashioning his/her hierarchy of values.

Activity 1 Four Corners

• Explain to the group that in this activity they
  will be asked to express their feelings about
  particular values. Show the youth where you have
  posted the signsAGREE, DISAGREE, and UNSURE.
  Explain to the group that you are going to read
  several value statements. As you read each one,
  you want them to think very carefully about how
  they feel about it. Each person will then move to
  the section of the room where the sign agrees
  with how they feel about that value statement.
• Say that you will ask for volunteers to describe
  how they feel about each statement, since one
  characteristic of a value is that a person can
  tell others about it. Emphasize that there are no
  right or wrong answers, only opinions. Everyone
  has a right to express an opinion, and no one
  will be put down for having a different value
  than others have. Be sure to mention that
  participants have the right to pass if they would
  rather not take a stand on a particular value
  statement. Also, point out that passing is not
  the same as being unsure. Finally, let everyone
  know that they can change their stand on any
  particular value at any time. For example, some
  participants might feel that they disagree with a
  particular value but change their minds if
  someone else makes a good case for agreeing with
  that value.
• Ask everyone to return to their original seats.
  Conclude with the Discussion Questions below.
• Discussion Questions
• What did you learn about yourself? About others?
• Was it hard to express disagreement with another
  person's values? Why or why not?
• Were there times when you felt uncomfortable or
  unsafe? What helped you stand by your values at
  that time?
• Were there any times when you felt unable to
  stand for your values? Why do you think that was
  so?
• What would support people at times when they feel
  unable to stand up for a value they believe in?

Filipino Values

• The 1987 Constitution is a formal document
  embodying social values deemed desirable for the
  nation. It has been claimed that the Philippine
  Constitution is the only constitution in the
  world which mentions the two words God' and
  love'. The Preamble states
• 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 and our
  posterity the blessings of independence and
  democracy under the rule of law and the regime of
  truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and
  peace, do ordain and promulgate this
  Constitution.

The Fourfold Base of Filipino ValuesSERAFIN D.
TALISAYON

• 1.Universal to all human beings but with
  distinctive Filipino flavor
• 2.It has similarities with other cultures but
  different in priority
• e.g. in China, honesty and hard work may rank
  highest
• Chinese and Japanese cultures give great value
  to politeness and beauty American culture to
  promptness and efficiency
• and Filipino culture to trust in God and family
  centeredness.
• 3. It varies on how it is applied, through the
  norms and tradition
• 4. Through historical accounts and influences,
  how it changes throughout each generation

Ambivalence of the Filipino Values EMERITA S.
QUITO

• Hiya (shame/sensitivity)
• Negative, because it arrests or inhibits one's
  action. This trait reduces one to smallness or to
  what Nietzsche calls the "morality of slaves",
  thus congealing the soul of the Filipino and
  emasculating him, making him timid, meek and
  weak.
• Positive, because, a person considers other
  peoples feelings and avoids arguments or offense
  to others

13

• Ningas-cogon (procrastination)
• Negative, by all standards, because it begins
  ardently and dies down as soon as it begins. This
  trait renders one inactive and unable to initiate
  things or to persevere.
• Positive, in a way, because it makes a person
  non-chalant, detached, indifferent, nonplussed
  should anything go wrong, and hence conducive to
  peace and tranquillity.
• Mañana or "Bukas na" (procrastination)
• Negative, because one constantly postpones action
  and accomplishes nothing. This aggravates a
  situation, a problem grows beyond correction, a
  leak or a small break becomes a gaping hole. This
  arises from an indolent mentality that a problem
  will go away by itself.
• Positive, because one is without stress and
  tension one learns to take what comes naturally.
  Like the Chinese wu-wei, this trait makes one
  live naturally and without undue artificiality.

14

• Pakikisama (group loyalty)
• Negative, because one closes one's eyes to evils
  like graft and corruption in order to conserve
  peace and harmony in a group at the expense of
  one's comfort.
• Positive, because one lives for others peace or
  lack of dissension is a constant goal.
• Pakiusap (appear)
• palakasan (show of power)
• sipsip (bribery)
• palusot (alibi)
• lagay (bribe)
• bata System (nepotism)

15

• Bahala na (resignation)
• Negative, because one leaves everything to chance
  under the pretext of trusting in Divine
  providence. This trait is really laziness
  disguised in religious garb.
• Positive, because one relies on a superior power
  rather than on one's own. It is conducive to
  humility, modesty, and lack of arrogance.
• Utang na loob (indebtedness)
• Negative, because one overlooks moral principles
  when one is indebted to a person. One who is
  beholden to another person will do anything to
  please him, thinking that by doing so he is able
  to repay a debt. One condones what the other
  person does and will never censure him for
  wrongdoing.
• Positive, because it is a recognition of one's
  indebtedness. This trait portrays the spirit
  behind the Filipino saying, "He who does not know
  how to look to the past will never reach his
  destination."

16

• Bayanihan (cooperation)
• Being heroes to each other
• palabra de honor (word of honor)
• delicadeza (finesse)
• paggalang (honoring)
• pagdadamayan (comforting)
