Presidential Proclamation No. 479 dated October 7, 1994 declares month of November of every year as “Filipino Values Month”.  The Objective is to create moral awakening and national consciousness on human values that are unique genuine and positively Filipino.

With joy and appreciation, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the Values Education Coordinators and School Heads of both Elementary and Secondary who responded the call of the Malaybalay City Division to give importance to the Values Month celebration.

It is our desire that the Community of Malaybalay City will abide the goal of Education which is to promote Values Education  in three levels of the educational system for the development of the human person committed to the building of “a just and human society” and an independent and democratic nation.

It is observed that we are living in a sick society today.  The increase of violent activities, behavioral disorder and lack of unity in our society, etc. are signs that we need to inculcate positive values of our youth today.

Values Education is not only essential to students but to all of us to achieve peace so as to be worthy and genuine Filipino. (Rosie A. Salupado)
