Filipino Values Month – November 2024

Filipino Values Month, held annually in November every year, looks to advance recognition of values that are remarkably and emphatically Filipino. These include love of God and country, solid family ties, care and regard for older folks, perseverance, and tolerance. Activities to celebrate the occasion include banner making, trademark challenges, public addresses, cooking and dance challenges, and exposition writing in schools. Filipino Values refers to the promotion of principles that a greater part of the Filipinos have generally held significant in their lives. These values incorporate their extraordinary gathering of belief systems, moral practices, manners, and social/individual qualities.

History of Filipino Values Month

In 1992, former President Fidel Ramos pronounced a Moral Recovery Program because of the need to fortify the ethical assets of the Filipinos. We are to practice values that are supportive of God, favorable to individuals, favorable to the nation, and supportive of nature. This prompted Proclamation No. 479, endorsed on October 7, 1994, that praises the long stretch of November as the Filipino Values Month.

Values are the underlying foundations of customs that Filipinos track down significantly in their everyday occasions. They are imparted from the get-go throughout everyday life, are profoundly imbued, and are impervious to change. They are created from individuals’ immediate encounters with other people who are vital to them, like guardians, educators, companions, and cohorts.

The family is at the very front of imparting values among Filipino youth, with the home as the spot for supporting and fortifying qualities. Schools support these qualities by giving open doors to the young to notice the qualities that they have guzzled at home and in their communications with friends and bosses.

As the centuries progressed and through cooperation with people groups of various societies, Filipinos have obtained persistence, dutiful devotion, close family ties, business sharpness, and so on, incorporating them into their method of life. These values reflect the Filipino individuals’ rich legacy of history and culture. They manifest the things in life that Filipinos respect. With these qualities, Filipinos have adapted to the changes in life.
