Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc, who is a consultant to Mayor Sebastian Duterte of Davao City, says that P4C (Philosophy for Children), digital ethics, and environmental stewardship, among others, are included in the Dabawenyo DCPlinado Curriculum Integration Program, a collaborative project between the Department of Education in Davao City and the City Government of Davao.
Speaking before Davao City officials during the regular session of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Davao held last July 2, 2024, Davao City Schools Division Superintendent Reynante Solitario said that this curriculum integration is part of the contextualization and localization of Values Education and GMRC in the Matatag Curriculum of the Department. City Councilor Jonard Dayap sponsored the Dabawenyo DCPlinado Curriculum Integration Ordinance.
The program, a brainchild of City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, envisions to teach moral values to young children and the youth for them to be conscious of their civic duties and grow to become responsible citizens. Self discipline is a virtue that Davaoenos are known for and the program seeks to instill the same for the good of the future generation. The program will be expanded to include every sector, says Harvey Lanticse, the City Information Officer.
