lnerable to disvalues propagated by modern influences

Filipinos are growing concerned about the future of society As the new generation of students continues to be influenced, the rich tapestry of Filipino culture emphasizing respect, compassion, and strong family ties will be overshadowed if the youth does not persist The naturally occurring interconnectedness, mutual respect among individuals, and sense of unity in the country have been strained and exhausted by divisive politics, social inequality, and the proliferation of self-serving attitudes Rightfully so, with the continuous esca-

lation of this issue, it is imperative for steps to be taken to revive and preserve such values for the betterment of Filipino society

Luckily for the new generation of Fili-

With this dilemma in hindsight, many pino students, a public-private partnership between the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and the Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values (CRFV) was established to implement the Values Restoration Program (VRP) in all sectors of the Philippines Revitalized through CSC Announcement No 40, s 2017, VRP is a soft approach to the government's anti-corruption initiatives, reinstalling the lost colors of Filipino values not only in all government agencies and organizations but especially in schools all around the country

Essentially, the Values Restoration

Program is a transformative tool driven by Filipino values and empowered by nationbuilding According to CSC, it aims to teach public servants, as well as future youth and community leaders, to commit to valueladen and exemplary lives until righteousness, transparency, and accountability become the hallmark of public service In the context of public schools like Camarines Norte National High School, VRP hones the

character and identity of students with the help of a Values Restoration Officer (VRO), who is a role model of good morals and values It also illuminates the minds and hearts of students, shaping and refining them toward effective student-centric leadership and governance

reliably reviving traditional Filipino values from within, even with a simple yet solemn recitation of the “Panatang Makabayan” and singing of the “Lupang Hinirang ” Anchored to VRP’s core values which are Love of God, Respect for Authority, In

has become alarmingly common in today's academic environments. This widespread issue is observed in nearly every classroom setting, especially during tests and exams. Such behavior not only undermines the value of honesty but also significantly impacts students' attitudes towards learning and integrity

As cheating becomes

normalized, students' perspectives shift dramatically Initially perceived as an apparent wrongdoing, cheating is increasingly justified as a practical, albeit unethical, approach to achieving academic success This shift in mindset dilutes the importance of rigid study and preparation, leading students to rely on dishonest means for better grades While these grades may superficially reflect achievement, they are

fundamentally flawed, rooted in deceit rather than genuine effort and determination

The consequences of

The Philippines ranked globally in the student assessment conducted by the OECD cheating extend beyond the students themselves, in which it affects the classroom atmosphere and the moral fiber of the academic institution Teachers tasked with instilling values like honesty face a daunting challenge While some may overlook the issue, many strive to emphasize ethical behavior, as highlighted in subjects like Education sa Pagpapakatao, aiming to reinforce the significance of integrity in both academic and personal realms

CUT THE CUTTING CLASSES

Frequent instances of

The subject “Edukasyon
