          It is an integral part of the movement’s success. By teaching our friends and family that the physical environment is fragile and indispensable we can begin fixing the problems that threaten it.

          Numerous resources are available to promote environmental awareness; group learning (in or outside of class), informational and inspirational seminars, such as our Awakening the Dreamer Program, and environmental books and brochures are just a few of the tools that can get you involved in promoting the environment.

          Awareness on our environment is very important because the environment defines the people and the place where they are living.

          The celebration seeks to increase knowledge of parents or guardians or caregivers on how to handle or educate their children while in the cyberspace; intensify the advocacy of positive discipline in classrooms dynamics in daily teaching; provide space for children’s participation in the legislative advocacy; push for the passage of the Positive Discipline Bill and celebrate gains and successes on child rights promotions and protection of the country. Positive discipline, as stipulated in the Bill is disciplining children without resorting to physical or corporal punishment, such as spanking, hitting, slapping, shouting, or shaming.

          Philippines,  the month-long celebration is not just like celebrating as an ordinary children but also a campaign to end violence against children and to promote their physical, emotional, moral, spiritual and intellectual well-being.

          Filipinos have a lot of values such as saying “po” or “opo” to the elders as a sign of respect, “bayanihan” (Volunteerism), “damayan” (Helping one another), “pagkamatapat” (Loyalty), “pakikisama” (Comradeship), “matulungin” (Helpful), “bukas ang palad” (Philanthropic), “hiya” (Loss of face and prestige), “utang na loob” (Debt of gratitude), “sariling sikap” (Self-reliance) and more. They value and respect each other and also the foreigners around them.

          Filipino culture is very unique because there are various traditions that only Filipinos have it. Through the centuries and through interactions with peoples of different cultures, Filipinos have acquired patience, filial piety, close family ties, business acumen, etc., integrating them into their way of life.

          These values mirror the Filipino people’s rich heritage of history and culture. They manifest the things in life. With these values, Filipinos have coped with the mutability of life.One value that has not been emphasized in our people’s education is Isang dugo, one blood, one race, referring to our common origin in the past. This is one beautiful and endearing value that we must teach our children to help preserve the unity of our nation.
         
          Month of November as Filipino Values Month. Let us celebrate Filipino Values every day of the year. This will help us keep ourselves together as one people of one blood.
