If the people would disregard them, our country would collapse and we will not have peace and order To cooperate with duly constituted authorities In every organization, there is always a leader to manage the affairs of all constituents. If the members will not cooperate, we can never expect to become successful in all undertakings that our government would like to do for the good of its citizens. To exercise rights responsibly and with due regard for the rights of others No man is an island and we have to live with others. In the exercise of our rights, we have to see to it that we also respect the rights of other people. If we do this, we can expect harmonious relationship among members of the society.

It is our obligation as citizens of our country to become productive, by engaging in gainful work so that we can provide the basic needs of our family and ourselves as well. To register and vote It is our prime duty as citizens of the Philippines to register and vote. Suffrage is both a privilege and a duty which every qualified citizen must perform. CHAPTER 2: Values Education Values Are said to be worth the importance we connect to different factors in our lives.
