Rex Education and PPCRV call for voters to discern well, vote according to our values, and be Maka-Pilipinas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow the Philippines will come out of this pandemic and handle the impending global economic recession will rely on the next 6 years. This is why it is crucial that the leaders we will elect in the upcoming May 9 elections share the heart of the Filipino people and possess the values to stand for and serve our country. We have to choose well and vote for someone who is truly Maka-Pilipinas,\u201d said Rex Education CEO, Don Timothy Buhain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varying standards, opinions, and principles come into play in the bid for national and local positions. What matters in the end when electing a leader is that it\u2019s not enough to choose someone wise and experienced; we must also choose a leader who embodies the virtues of a true Filipino citizen and champion. PPCRV launched the voter education program that highlights what it takes to be Maka-Pilipinas to emphasize the values that make a true Filipino leader,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To be Maka-Pilipinas is to be maka-Diyos<\/em>(faithful to God), maka-tao<\/em> (respects life and people), maka-bayan<\/em>(patriotic), at maka-kalikasan<\/em> (environmentally concerned). These are the four good citizenship core values embedded in the 1987 Constitution, which highlights these core values\u2019 roots and importance in our culture and history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To help Filipinos better understand what makes a leader truly Maka-Pilipinas, PPCRV broke down the four core values\u2014maka-Diyos, maka-tao, maka-bayan, at maka-kalikasan<\/em>\u2014into 16 good citizenship values. Does your candidate tick all the boxesof this checklist?\u201cWe believe that through the living and the sharing of these basic values\u2014not only by ourselves, but especially by our candidates\u2014can our national vision of improving moral standards in government and in society be achieved,\u201d PPCRV Chair Myla Villanueva said during the launch of the Maka-Pilipinas voter education program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A champion of the people is a champion of education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is part of the solution. As champions of education\u2014as Edukampyons\u2014it is every Filipino\u2019s duty to embody the 16 good citizenship values that we wish to see in our leaders. It is also up to each of us to encourage our fellow Edukampyons to live these values, so they may also know what it means to elect a leader who is truly Maka-Pilipinas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVoter\u2019s education starts at home, where values are introduced and cultivated in our families. Under REX\u2019s Edukampyon campaign, we want to give every Filipino learner an opportunity to have a good education, stable well-being, and a future where they can be their best selves. To do that, we must have the support of government leaders who value the same things, after our own heart, and cares just as much for the development of our learners,\u201d Buhain shared further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To serve as a reminder to choose with discernment and vote responsibly this coming election, PPCRV created a Maka-Pilipinas comics that promote the 16 good citizenship values. A line from the comics read: \u201cYour vote is your hope. Your vote is your prayer. Vote wisely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
