Learning Exercise 2.6 (Good Citizenship)

The document discusses the basic values of Filipinos which are categorized into four clusters: Maka-Diyos (Faith in God), Makatao (Concern for People), Makabayan (Love of Country), and Makakalikasan (Concern for Nature). It provides exercises for readers to reflect on these values, which values they most and least identify with, and negative situations in society that contradict these values. One exercise asks readers to choose the value they wish to more consciously uphold, and specify an action to do so. An example is provided of someone resolving to express their views freely and make independent decisions to better live the value of freedom.

you would like to uphold more consciously henceforth. Write down this basic value in the box below. Write also as
resolution, a specific action which you will do in this regard.

Beginning now, I will more consciously live the basic value of freedom. I know that freedom is important but
I have often regarded it as something I would not prioritize – at least for myself. I have often viewed it as irrelevant,
hence, although I yearn for something like it, I haven’t tried to achieve it for myself. But sometimes, the idea of
freedom crosses my mind and often it leaves me wondering, “What could I be, how would I be – if only I was free”.

I Will:

 Express my views and feelings freely.


 Stop being a people-pleaser.
 Choose things without being solely dependent on external factors.
 Assume responsibility in the consequences of my own decisions.
 Protect and respect other people’s exercise of their freedom.
