as well as Values Education was signed into Law by President Duterte. Thus
named as Republic Act 11476- An act that will help inculcate in the youth basic
tenets such as caring for oneself, giving concern to others, according proper
respect to people, upholding discipline and order and cultivating sincerity,
honesty, obedience and love for country.
The subjects on Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) were scrapped in 2013 and
replaced with subjects on Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao. Under the new Law, GMRC will be integrated
into daily activities in kindergarten and taught as a separate subject from Grades 1-6. GMRC will be
integrated into the Values Education subject from Grades 7-10. Values Education will be integrated into
all subjects from Grades 11 and 12.
The relevance of Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) as a subject heightened the urgent need
to strengthen the moral fiber of the 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.
The goals and scope of teaching Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao Intended Outcomes of
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao as a Course (subject) mandates the effective teaching of EsP begins with
a clear understanding of the expected outcomes or the goal of teaching EsP. The K to 12 Curriculum
Guide for EsP was developed by the Department of Education which states: “Tunguhin (goal) nito
(EsP) ang paghubog ng kabataang nagpapasya at kumikilos nang mapanagutan tungo sa
kabutihang panlahat lilinangin at pauunlarin ang pagkataong etikal ng bawat mag aaral. Upang
maipamalas ito, kailangang magtaglay siya ng limang pangunahing kakayahan. (macro skills,
pang unawa, pagninilay, pagsangguni,pagpapasya at pagkilos). Nilalayon ng EsP na linangin at
paunlarin ang pagkataong etikal ng mag aaral. Ang EsP ay naglalayong gabayan ang mga mag
aaral na mahanap/matagpuan ang kabuluhan ng kanyang buhay, ang papel niya sa lipunang Pilipino
upang makibahagi siya sa pagtatayo ng pamayanang pinaiiral ang katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan
at pagmamahal”.
The Learning Area Standard
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 fellowmen

GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN THE TEACHING OF EDUKASYON SA PAGPAPAKATAO

1. Values are both taught and caught. The EsP teacher must teach the cognitive aspect of
virtue intentionally and must live to.
2. Values cannot be separated from understanding although values and attitudes relate to the
affective dimension.
3. 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)
4. 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.”

5. 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.

6. 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
student or students also share their value systems in class without imposing them on others.
Some might argue that when you know better, you do better. This may not apply to the
individual that is not quite sure about good manners and conduct. An excellent starting
point is understanding how to show gratitude and appreciation, as well as taking into
consideration the opinions and views of others.
Good manners convey respect to those you interact with, and also commands respect
from those you interact with. Right conduct is living in a moral and ethical way in the
absolute sense rather than by the standards of any particular time or society

The following set of questions would help you understand better this topic
MANS CONDUCT: WHAT MAKES IT RIGHT?
It is right to obey the rules. It is wrong to disobey them. An act can be judged right as

with them.

“Say thank you,” “Sit up straight,” “Shake hands,” “Say

please”…Most of us heard phrases like these as we grew up, because
our parents were teaching us manners. Many of us do the same thing
with our children. But why do we bother? What is so important about
teaching manners, anyway?
For one thing, having good manners meet a social expectation
– kids are expected to have good manners, and they and their parents
earn more respect when they do. Another thing to consider is the role
good manners play in your children’s future.
What manners do at the heart of good manners is a respect for
oneself and others. Good manners convey a sense of respect for the
sensibilities of other people. When you say “thank you,” you’re taking
the time to make the other person feel appreciated. Saying “please”
respects a person’s right not to do what you’ve asked (it’s not so
demanding with a “please” attached). Good manners also show that a
child listens to his parents and does what he is taught – these are
good character traits that teachers and other authority figures
appreciate.
Manners convey quite a bit of information! Your children do
such a big favor when you teach them good manners. Good manners
can make or break an opportunity. For instance, if your child is up for
his first job and his credentials match another candidate’s, the more
polite and mannerly candidate may end up with the job. If your child
wants to ask a particular girl out, she may refuse a relationship if your
child has bad manners. Even before those adult scenarios, your
younger child may find that good manners go a long way in endearing
himself to teachers, coaches, and peers. Simply put, your child may be
more successful in life in general if he has good manners.
The big picture is, it’s not just your child’s future that is affected
by her manners; it’s her parents’ reputation and, ultimately, the
civility of the culture and society in which we live. While no one is
perfect, imagine a culture where good manners just don’t exist – not a
pleasant thought!
Good manners set a standard of behaviour against which other
behaviour can be measured, which helps keep order and civility in
society. So it would seem that teaching your kids good manners has
significant implications. It’s worth noting, too, that good manners
modelled in the home can go a long way toward teaching them. In
other words, rather than nagging about manners, just do them – then
your kids learn the good manners are “just the way it’s done.”
