VALUES

By Frederick Pedernal

In life, each one of us has a responsibility,

First to our country, to ourselves, and to our fellowmen.
Efforts to do with this depend on our ability,
To show concern and respect to all men.

We Filipinos have only one country,

To guard and protect against thievery,
Forgetting this will bring us nowhere.
There will be trouble everywhere.

We should study will all seriousness

All lessons with thoroughness
Being wayward is foolishness
Patience will bring us to success.

Concern for others is goodness,

Good action will prove thoughtfulness,
The act of giving is graciousness,
Loving others is kindness.
