Mission, Vision, Values and Operating Principals of the MRM

As proposed, the Moral Renewal Movement (MRM) will be a powerful rallying cry for the transformation of Philippine Society. It will lay out a clear vision and mission. Underpinning this philosophy are inherent values which will govern the overall MRM process.

The Movement has a vision and dream where all Filipinos can live and prosper in a fair and just society as people learn the value of compassion.

I propose that the MRM be spearheaded by a non-stock, non-profit foundation to be formed by all relevant sectors of society, i.e., government, business, civil society, educational institutions, churches and NGOs.

The MRM is about:

• How the ideals of the Movement and fundamental principles are to be communicated, understood and embraced by every Filipino;
• How we are to learn and teach moral values inherent in our culture, religions, traditions and institutions;
• How values enshrined in our Constitution and in our age-old culture are to be taught, encouraged and cherished by every Filipino in order to forge a common identity as a proud nation.

Vision

The MRM strives for a healthy, caring and harmonious society guided by basic human values, in line with the Constitution and our age-old culture, with particular reference to family, community, spiritual and socio-economic development.
