Filipino children will be in for a treat, an old subject our mom’s used
to be studying will be coming back on its own.

the measure seeking to revive the Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC)

The House of Representative in its

The proposed bill measure provides
for the inclusion of the GMRC subject in the Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao
curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd)’s K-12 program.
The bill said GMRC, defined as “basic social values and etiquette,” is
necessary “to develop the character of the youth by making them recognize their
intrinsic human value, enabling them to cultivate their ability to make
excellent choices for themselves in relation to the greater community, thereby
creating a culture of respect and love for oneself, for others and the country.”
Before Senator Miguel Zubiri sought the revivial of the Good Manners and
Right Conduct since the Values Education which are presently included in the
elementary and secondary schooling is not enough as can be seen from the
children who are involved in breaking laws.
“I observe that this seeming downgrading of Values Education in the
curriculum has made it harder to raise upright citizens. So, we see rising
criminality in the streets and inside our homes committed by youngsters and
adults who have not undergone GMRC as we had in the old days,” Zubiri stated.
“We witness this low level of discipline in disrespectful behavior of
children and teens who are most vulnerable to the use of drugs and oftentimes
resort to gangsterism,” he further mentioned.
