GOOD CITIZENSHIP VALUES AND YOUTH MORAL RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR NATION- BUILDING MIDTERM WEEK-1 NSTP 1 LESSON-3  According to Commissioner Teresita D. Baltazar, “Good governance is not enough to let us work on being good citizens. Let us translate the good citizenship values derived from the Preamble of the Philippine Constitution into concrete action in order to build the nation. Senator Leticia R. Shahani (1993) Asserts that there is a need to change structures and to change people. She explain that, “ building a people means eliminating our weaknesses and developing our strengths and this starts with analysis, understanding, and appreciation of these strengths and weaknesses… we must change. And understanding one self is the first steps.” To enhance the strengths and overcome the weaknesses of the Filipino, she proposes the following goals for change: 1. Develop in the Filipino a sense of patriotism and national pride- a genuine love, appreciation, and commitment to the Philippines and Filipino things. 2. Develop a sense of the common good, the ability to look beyond selfish interest, a sense of outrage at its violation. 3. Develop value and habits of discipline and hard work, self-reflection, and analysis, along with the internalization of spiritual values.  PREAMBLE OF THE 1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION “ 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 blessing of independence and democracy under the rule of law and regime of truth , justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.” The Good Citizenship Values Cluster ( Based on the 1987 Philippine Constitution, taken from the Modules on good Citizenship Values) a.

It is an attitude of mind that values and places the welfare of the country over that of all other. It is a “ dynamic Filipinism”. Nationalism is not developed, nor does it comes through by accident or chance. It is fed and nourished systematically over a period of time.  NATIONAL PRIDE As a good citizen, every Filipino should know the different national symbols and their meanings. 1.National flag-___________________ 2.National Hymn-___________________ 3.National flower-___________________ 4.National tree-___________________ 5.National house-___________________ 6.National costume-___________________ 7.National hero-___________________ 8.The Filipino Folk dances-___________________ 9.The patriotic pledge-___________________ 10.The National Seal of the Philippine Republic-____________ 1.
