MANILA — Five books that zero in on the importance of Filipino values, and another reading on how to be more responsible citizens in the face of technology, will be used by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voters (PPCRV) in empowering the electorate in next year’s elections.
“Many of the voters are actually the youth. Now, we empower them through our power network… so we will be disseminating these to our parishes,” Ana de Villa-Singson, PPCRV’s National Communicatons Director explained to journalists.
The PPCRV’s “Tibok Pinoy” textbooks aim to revive if not strengthen the Filipinos’ known traits of being “magalang (respectful), matapat (honest), matulungin (helpful), makabayan (patriotic) and masipag (hardworking).
Meantime the “Mapanuri (analytical) book aims to instill in the people the ideal discipline and behavior while using gadgets.
The colorful books carry stories about the said values, using cartoon drawings to entice readers.
The books, De Villa-Singson said, can be sourced from the PPCRV for free, or get its soft copies and even the 11 podcasts through the organization’s official website www.ppcrv.org.
“And we even have tutorials because if there are teachers who want to incorporate it into their curriculum, we even have tutorials on how the recommended use of the books are,” De Villa-Singson said.
The decision to use books she said, is to bring back Filipinos into reading.
