1. Explain the two fundamental constitutional goals of Philippine education. This comic strips were famously shared on Facebook as a meme. It gives two different pieces of advice from the parent on how their children should study and not end up being street sweepers. There are two things we can learn from this meme: one is the different perceptions of the parents on how their children value education. Lastly, the imbalance of opportunities for people who have no means and capacity to improve themselves. This meme’s captures the two fundamental goals of the Philippine Constitution for education. Objectives 1 – Protect and promote right of all citizens to quality education (Section 1 of article XIV of the 1987 , Philippine Constitution) The DEPED is the bureaucracy that protects the marginalized sectors of society. The mentioned bureaucracy created Department Order 36 Series 2002 for the Educational for All (EFA) 2015 action plans. The EFA 2015 vision and holistic program of reforms to improve access and quality of basic education for every Filipino by 2015 opened an alternative learning system to complement formal schooling to reach and better serve those in difficult circumstances. If we are going to look again at the picture, the street sweeper can benefit from the EFA 2015 action plan for its involvement. This requires not just the involvement of the Department of Education but of everyone in society, encompassing government at both local and national institutions as well as civil society organizations as producers of basic learning needs regardless of their age, for its one major objective of making all youth and adults functionally literate. Moreover, both children showed in the picture were also included in the objectives of EFA, 2015. It states that Children 3 - 5 years old are ready to participate in schools to eliminate homework and repetition in grades 1–3, furthermore, all pupils and students should complete basic education with a statistical achievement Photo credit - https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/ 8 82196608/
level, and lastly, education should be made a societal responsibility just like the second mother perceived the system of education (Icc.deped.gov.ph, 2017). Objectives 2 – Formation and Strengthening of ethical and spiritual values, develop moral character and personal discipline, encourage critical and creative thinking. If the late Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago saw this comic strip turn into meme, she probably got dismayed at how the second mother taught her child the value of education. The late senator introduced Senate Bill No. 96. An Act To Make a Separate Course on Ethics Compulsory at All Levels of Grade Schools and Every Degree Course in Any College or University, this was based on the Constitution, Article XIV, Section 3, that embedded the strengthening of ethical and spiritual values, developing moral character, and personal discipline. The late senator wants to awaken the student consciousness toward being honest and responsible citizens of their community by introducing reforms in basic education and in higher education institutions, revising the existing policies at both levels, and imposing a separate Ethics course required at all levels (middle school, high school, and college), with an Ethics course required for all students’ professions. The Bill reinforces ethical and spiritual principles that can be used to combat government corruption, which thrives in the absence of a strong moral foundation. It is past time to explore the Filipino people's strengths and weaknesses in order to address societal issues and strengthen our nation's moral compass. Maybe, and hopefully, with the help of the bill of the late senators, we can help the mother change her perception about the ethics, value of education, and critical thinking. The Senate bill by the late Senator Santiago was expanded by the Another Senate Bill authored by Senator Joseph Victor G. Ejercito , entitled: Senate Bill No. 1855, An Act Institutionalizing Good Manners and Right Conduct and Character Education in the Curriculum of Elementary and Secondary Level, also known as the "GMRC Act". Moreover, there is House Bill No. 6705, An Act TO Revive Good Manners AND Right Conduct (GMRC) AS A Separate Subject IN THE Basic Education Curriculum, written by Representative Salvador B. Belaro. Jr.
2. As an educator, what are the essential responsibilities and duties of teachers to guarantee high quality education? Elaborate your thoughts. Being a teacher by profession, it is my sole responsibility to improve my lifelong learning. Change is inevitable, and as an educator, I cannot resist the

They provide learners with essential feedback on learning outcomes, which informs the reporting cycle and allows teachers to select, organize, and deploy appropriate assessment. processes. Domain 6: Community Linkages and Professional Engagement: The teacher can recognize and respond to opportunities that connect classroom teaching and learning to the experiences, interests, and goals of the larger school community and other critical stakeholders. They recognize and carry out their responsibilities to respect professional ethics, accountability, and transparency in order to foster professional and harmonious relationships with students, parents, schools, and the larger community. Domian 7: Personal Growth and Professional Development: The teacher values personal and professional development and has a high personal regard for the profession by exhibiting attributes that uphold the dignity of teaching, such as a caring approach, respect, and integrity. They place a high value on personal and professional reflection and learning in order to improve their practice. They accept personal responsibility for personal development as well as professional development for lifelong learning.
3. Explain “Public office is a public trust” give example. Ever since I started to work, I belong to a private institution, but that does not give me immunity from The Constitution, Article XI, Section 1, which states that public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must, at all times, be accountable to the people, serve them with the utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency, act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives. I constantly remind myself that I am accountable both on and off campus for my student’s well-being. I distance myself from their personal agendas, like birthday parties. Numerous debut parties I missed attending due to this principle; as long as the student was enrolled in my class, I declined to attend their personal events. I choose to teach at the secondary level, so my responsibility as a school teacher must be practiced all the time to continue updating my knowledge and skills. I attended tons of seminars and workshops, even during the pandemic. I upgraded my strategies over time so I could give them a quality teaching and learning process. Accepting gifts is a common practice for us teachers, especially if there is a celebration like International Teacher Day, Christmas, or a simple birthday celebration, and I will not deny that I pretty much enjoy these perks, but I only accepted gifts that were first, goods, and not cash. Lastly, I respectfully declined to accept gifts from the student who has an academic deficiency. I
remember one of my students who is graduating and failed to my subject due to excessive absences. The grandmother of the child later insists on giving gift despite not accepting it. The said items are still in the stock room of the university as of the moment I wrote this essay. I am being true and honest about my profession as much as I can. I pledge to teach my students to the best of my ability. I remember when I encountered a student with a special need for his speech. I made separate strategies and assessments that could help with his disability. To be efficient, I enroll myself in the Master's Degree program despite the fact that it will consume a lot of my time. Being patriotic by conducting and participating in the flag ceremony. I sang the national anthem and recited the "Panatang Makabayan" together with my students. I do justice to my job by being on time and also by being a good leader when it comes to valuing someone's time. These are the things I did and continue to do to protect my profession and to gain public trust. References: Education, D. o. (2017, August 11). Rublic of the Philippine: Deparment of Education.
