 THE BASES OF EDUCATION IN

THE PHILIPPINES ARE THE FILIPINO
SOCIO CULTURAL VALUES AND
TRADITIONS.

The spirit of nationalism and love of

country must serve as the foundation
of education. Further, the learner
must be prepared for a democratic way
of life and thinking.

EMERITA QUITO
MOTIVATES PHILOSOPHY PROFESSORS TO
IMPROVE THEMSELVES, USE THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE
IN THE TEACHING OF PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOSOPHY
OF EDUCATION, AND TAP INTERNATIONAL FUNDING
AGENCIES FOR PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCHES AND
INTERNATIONAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE PHILIPPINES.
HER VIEWPOINT, TO THE DILEMMA OF THE
FILIPINO PHILOSOPHER IS HOW TO RECONCILE
NEW IDEAS AND DEVELOPMENTS ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SCENE WITH THE LOCAL
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL REALITIES. SHE
HOPED THAT FOREIGN IDEAS ABOUT EDUCATION
MUST BE IMPLANTED INTO PHILIPPINE
CONDITIONS FOR PROPER ACCULTURATION AND
ASSIMILATION.

THE LEADERS OF THE COUNTRY

MUST FIRST STREGHTHEN THE
NATIONAL MORAL CHARACTER
THROUGH MORAL EDUCATION.

A people with fortitude, integrity love

of truth, good study habits and thirst
for education is necessary to produce
a government that would establish an
atmosphere of justice and freedom.

JOSE RIZAL

CONSIDERED EDUCATION AS AN INDISPENSIBLE TOOL

FOR NATION BUILDING.
