Subject: Proposal for the Integration of Biblical Values in Schools Through Values Education and Extra-Curricular Activities

Dear Hon. [Name of DepEd Official],

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We recognize the Department of Education's unwavering commitment to molding the moral and intellectual character of Filipino students in accordance with Republic Act 10533 (Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013), which emphasizes values formation as an integral part of the curriculum.

In line with this, we humbly submit this proposal for the integration of Biblical values in the school system through values education and extra-curricular activities. Our objective is to reinforce ethical and moral development among students, strengthening their character based on timeless Biblical principles that align with the DepEd’s Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) framework.

Proposal Overview

This initiative seeks to introduce Biblical values-based learning modules that will complement existing subjects under EsP, covering essential moral virtues such as honesty, discipline, perseverance, respect, and servant leadership. We also propose the establishment of:

1. Bible Study and Prayer Groups (optional for interested students and teachers).
2. Daily Devotional and Scripture Reading before classes begin.
3. Christian Leadership Training for Student Officers to promote integrity and ethical leadership.
4. Bible-Based Character Development Programs incorporated into school assemblies.
5. Christian Resource Materials for school libraries and educational references.

Legal and Educational Basis

This initiative is aligned with the following:
✅ 1987 Philippine Constitution (Article XIV, Section 3(3)) – Allows religious instruction in public schools with the written consent of parents.
✅ DepEd Order No. 41, s. 2017 – Recognizes student-initiated faith-based activities in schools.
✅ Republic Act No. 10533 – Emphasizes values formation in the K-12 curriculum.

Implementation Plan

📌 Phase 1: Teacher Training & Curriculum Development – Conduct workshops for teachers on integrating Biblical values in existing subjects.
📌 Phase 2: Pilot Implementation in Select Schools – Initial rollout in willing schools with DepEd’s approval.
📌 Phase 3: School-Wide Expansion & Monitoring – Nationwide expansion and assessment of impact on student behavior and moral development.

Request for DepEd Approval

We respectfully request DepEd’s endorsement and guidance in implementing this program in selected public and private schools across the country. We also seek DepEd’s assistance in coordinating with school administrators for the successful execution of this initiative.

We believe that reinforcing Biblical values in education will greatly benefit the spiritual and moral foundation of Filipino youth, ultimately shaping them into responsible, upright, and God-fearing citizens. We are more than willing to present our training modules and collaborate with DepEd in refining this program.

We eagerly await your favorable response and the opportunity to discuss this further. Please feel free to contact us at [Your Contact Information] for a meeting at your most convenient time.

May God bless you and the entire DepEd family as you continue to lead in nurturing the hearts and minds of Filipino students.

Sincerely,
