Quezons Code of Citizenship and Ethics

MALACAAN PALACE MANILA BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 217

PRESCRIBING CERTAIN CIVIC AND ETHICAL PRINCIPLES TO BE TAUGHT IN ALL SCHOOLS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Whereas, section five of Article XIII of the Constitution provides that all schools shall aim to develop moral character, personal discipline, civic conscience, and to teach the duties of citizenship; Whereas, in order to comply with the above constitutional provision, it is necessary that a Code of Citizenship and Ethics be adopted and taught in the schools; Whereas, pending the formulation of such a code by a committee representing the various elements of the community and the adoption thereof, it is essential that the schools should at once take steps in order to effectuate the mandate of the Constitution in this respect; Now, therefore, I, Manuel L. Quezon, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me under the Constitution, do hereby direct the Secretary of Public Instruction to require all schools to teach the following civic and ethical principles, drafted by a group of eminent citizens; 1. Have faith in Divine Providence that guides the destinies of men and nations. 2. Love your country for it is the home of your people, the seat of your affections, and the source of your happiness and well-being. Its defense is your primary duty. Be ready at all times to sacrifice and die for it if necessary. 3. Respect the Constitution which is the expression of your sovereign will. The government is your government. It has been established for your safety and welfare. Obey the laws and see that they are observed by all and that public officials comply with their duties. 4. Pay your taxes willingly and promptly. Citizenship implies not only rights but also obligations. 5. Safeguard the purity of suffrage and abide by the decisions of the majority. 6. Love and respect your parents. It is your duty to serve them gratefully and well.

7. Value your honor as you value your life. Poverty with honor is preferable to wealth with dishonor. 8. Be truthful and be honest in thought and in action. Be just and charitable, courteous but dignified in your dealings with your fellow men. 9. Lead a clean and frugal life. Do not indulge in frivolity or pretense. Be simple in your dress and modest in your behavior. 10. Live up to the noble traditions of our people. Venerate the memory of our heroes. Their lives point the way to duty and honor. 11. Be industrious. Be not afraid or ashamed to do manual labor. Productive toil is conducive to economic security and adds to the wealth of the nation. 12. Productive toil is conducive to economic security and adds to the wealth of the nations. 13. Rely on your own efforts for your progress and happiness. Be not easily discouraged. Persevere in the pursuit of your legitimate ambitions. 14. Do your work cheerfully, thoroughly, and well. Work badly done is worse than work undone. Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today. 15. Contribute to the welfare of your community and promote social justice. You do not live for yourselves and your families alone. You are a part of society to which you owe definite responsibilities. 16. Cultivate the habit of using goods made in the Philippines. Patronize the products and trades of your countrymen. 17. Use and develop our natural resources and conservation for posterity. They are the inalienable heritage of our people. Do not traffic with your citizenship. Done at the City of Manila, this nineteenth day of August, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the fourth.
MANUEL L. QUEZON President of the Philippines By the President:

How to Write a Character Sketch

A character sketch is a short written description introducing the reader to a character in a story. This is often one of the first writing exercises taught in English classes. Strong characters give the reader a reason to stay interested in your story. Learning how to write a character sketch is the first step towards great creative writing.

Instructions
o

1
Decide whether to write a detailed list or a hypothetical encounter you had with the character. Writing a list is easier, but writing about an encounter helps the reader better understand the character's voice, and will help get your creativity flowing.

2
Give the character a name and decide the gender. A name can tell a lot about the character, such as his geographical location and age or generation.

3
Use adjectives and similes to describe the character's physical description. Concentrate on what the character looks like, and what she is wearing or carries around, such as a baseball bat or a jar of fireflies.

4
Quote a conversation you had with the character. Describe what he says, does and thinks. Write about the character's likes and dislikes. Tell the readers about a major goal the character is working toward or wishes to accomplish.

5
Notice what other people say about the character and what they do to her. Tell about any interesting relationships with family or friends, whether people like the character and how they would describe her.

6
Explain the setting where the character is found. This may be a specific place like a favorite hangout.

7
Write about what your character is like in a general sense. Talk about what makes this character different, what his strengths and weakness are and anything else you think will be important for the reader to know.
