The Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values (CRFV) was honored with dual prestigious recognitions during significant national ceremonies this December. CRFV received the Gawad Parangal 2025 Award for outstanding excellence in advocacy and training, alongside a Certificate of Excellence for exemplary contributions in advocacy, capacity development, and nation-building efforts.

​The awards were presented at the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) 7th Year Founding Anniversary held at Dimalupig Hall, Camp Aguinaldo. These accolades affirm CRFV's unwavering commitment to empowering communities through values-based programs that promote ethical governance, peacebuilding, and sustainable development.

​"These awards validate our mission to restore Filipino values as the foundation of nation-building," stated CRFV National Director Nathaniel A. Saquiban. "CRFV continues to equip public servants with ethical leadership and community-centered governance.

CRFV remains committed to its mandate under Republic Act No. 11476, scaling values restoration programs nationwide. The organization continues partnerships with DILG, PNP, local governments, and academic institutions to foster Matino, Mahusay, at Maaasahan na Serbisyo Publiko.

The Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values (CRFV) marked another milestone with the successful conclusion of its Values Restoration Program (VRP) Capacity Building XI, held as a hybrid event from November 18-21, 2025, at the scenic Tagaytay Country Hotel. Over 100 Values Restoration Officers (VROs) and values champions gathered onsite and virtually from across the Philippines, uniting under the powerful theme "ReBuilding the Nation through Values." This CSC-accredited summit empowered participants to champion integrity and ethical leadership in public service.​

The four-day agenda unfolded progressively, blending inspiration, interaction, and action. Day 1 set the stage with registration and leveling of expectations. Day 2 launched with Atty. Brian Keith F. Hosaka's keynote on rebuilding through everyday honesty and responsibility, followed by General Rodolfo S. Azurin, Jr.'s compelling "Moral Infrastructure: Laying the Foundation for Nation-Building," where he positioned integrity as the true bedrock of progress. Dir. Nathaniel A. Saquiban's session on ethical governance and Ms. Ame-Phil O. Saquiban's interactive workshop rounded out the day.​

​Day 3 featured Dr. Arthur Luis P. Florentin's blueprint for values-based restoration, Mr. Jesus V. Sison on values champions, a dynamic panel with Mr. Jesus Zabala (BOC), Dr. Edwin R. Ferrer (DepEd Dagupan), and Prof. Jesha May C. De La Rama (NISU Victorino Salcedo Campus) on fortitude and community, plus Atty. Joyce B. Balong's call to secure lasting legacies. Day 4 culminated in an integration session, evaluations, VRO Pledge, and commissioning by Dir. Nathaniel A. Saquiban, followed by Tagaytay benchmarking.​

Attendees raved about the line-up, particularly Atty. Hosaka and Gen. Azurin. Hosaka's message on lived values earned outstanding praise for relevance and mastery, while Azurin's emphasis on moral foundations as essential infrastructure drew feedback like "discipline, integrity, and accountability are the real foundations of a strong nation". All sessions received exceptional ratings, with the panel sparking strategies on resilience.

Participants hailed from key agencies nationwide: DepEd Negros Occidental led representation, followed by Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) campuses, Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC), Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP), Department of National Defense (DND), DAR units (Cotabato, Davao del Norte, Negros Occidental), DPWH districts, PhilRice branches, NAPOLCOM, DSWD CARAGA, BFAR Region X, BJMP Region VII, and LGUs like Malaybalay.​

The flame of values restoration burns brighter than ever. Empowered VROs return to their agencies as champions of integrity, ready to transform workplaces and communities. CRFV remains committed to this mission—join us in ReBuilding the Nation through Values.
