enhance positive values as well - the values of human compassion,
social awareness, dignity and pride in honest work,
unselfishness, cooperation, respect for the law and rights of
others, and above all, a deep sense of patriotism and love of
country and its people.

OUR
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
DIGNITY
AND COOPERATION
We live not only
for ourselves but for others as well. We belong to a greater
society where the welfare of one is as important as the welfare
of all. It is our duty, therefore, to work together and dedicate
our skills, talents and efforts to serving the common good, for
only through unity and cooperation can we attain our goals.
SOCIAL
JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Ours is a society
of equals - where equality of opportunity and equality before the
law must, at all costs, be upheld. We thus defend the sanctity of
human rights and constitutional liberties, and stand for social
justice as the fountainhead of lasting social peace.
DISCIPLINE
AND SELF-RELIANCE
It is the duty of
every man to develop his God-given potentials. Fulfilling this
responsibility requires discipline, and enable one to become a
self-reliant and productive member of society.
NATIONALISM
Every Filipino owes
a deep sense of patriotic commitment to his country. It is the
responsibility of every citizen to contribute and work towards
the preservation and protection of national interest, the
national patrimony and nation's right to stand with dignity and
honor among the community of nations.
