With a stronger drive to instill values, this series—

• gives weight to the worth of every human being as a creation of God;
• impresses upon the students the importance of faith in a very confusing world;
• instills in the students Filipinism, pride in the Filipino heritage and magnifies the importance of family and friends;
• discusses societal issues, such as freedom, social justice, democracy, and human rights;
• awakens the students through immersion programs and field trips, to the plight of their less fortunate brothers and sisters and to the sad condition of Mother Earth;
• encourages parents to play an active role in the value formation of their children;
• deals with quite sensitive issues, such as sexuality and premarital sex, with openness but with tact; and
• evolves around the two most important commandments of God—love your neighbor and love God.

The Worktext employs the value-clarification and action-learning approaches in putting one’s values to the fore and in encouraging personal and social action based on these values. Each has a glossary explaining terms as they were used in the text so as to avoid misinterpretation. Every lesson has a module preview presenting as an overview of what the lesson is and a set of desired objectives to be satisfied after each lesson.

The Teachers Guide provides additional lessons as well as suggested class activities and exercises.
