CORE VALUES
Accountable
I am accountable of my actions that influence the lives of other stakeholders. I assume
responsibility that further strengthens the lives of other stakeholders. I assume
responsibility that further strengthens my faith and character to be able to harness
challenges.

Service-Oriented
Service excellence is more than what we provide. It’s how we think and act. It’s more
than fixing a problem. It is prompt responses, consistent communication, quality
information, and a focus in providing a superior experience to and with other
stakeholders.

Innovative
I strongly agree in the anticipation of change and shape it to fit our purpose. I
acknowledge the weaknesses within the institution and I help create ethical, forward
thinking solutions to overcome them. I am very much willing to collaborate to identify,
develop and deploy leading edge strategies, development programs, and system
improvement tools.

Adaptive
In order to be successful, it is imperative to be able to deal with new technology, with
new methodology, and most important to be willing to change with the times and I will
see myself as a change agent who can offer a range of supportive efforts to reduce
resistance and build loyalty and commitment.

Team-oriented
I will work openly and collaboratively with others as one team across boundaries. I
look forward to help build a strong and effective relationships working in team. I will
help encourage and motivate others to contribute and actively seek feedback. I believe
in the idea of putting the team before the individual, recognizing that everyone will rely
on each other to succeed.
Efficient
As a team player, I will be obedient to all the tasks delegated to me, ask for help when
needed, communicate clearly and concisely both verbally and in writing, carry
directions promptly, make the best use of other’s time as well as my own, and take the
initiative to resolve recurring problems and eliminate redundancies.

Committed
I am a person who works wholeheartedly. I work not for the money alone but for the

Honest
The quality of being honest and fair is that type of person I possess. Honesty to God and
to the school as well as fair treatment to everyone will always prevail.
