Raise a pool of trained Values Restoration Officers who will lead the transformation of your office into a truly values-based organization

The VRO Training the Trainers is a CSC‑accredited learning and development intervention that prepares your endorsed Values Restoration Officers, values champions, and values advocates to facilitate the Values Restoration Program (VRP) and champion ethical governance in your agency.

Why This Training Matters

The VRO TTT aligns with CSC Announcement No. 40, s. 2017, which encourages government agencies to appoint Values Restoration Officers as a soft approach to address graft and corruption, inefficiency, and strained working relationships in the workplace. Before they are appointed, these VROs need proper preparation so they can confidently lead weekly values sessions, coordinate VRP activities, and model integrity in public service.​

Through this training, CRFV—your CSC‑Accredited Learning and Development Institution (CSC‑ALDI)—helps your agency move from compliance to genuine culture change.

It integrates transformational leadership, skills development, and values enhancement to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to build a values‑based organization.

By the end of the training, participants are able to:

• Identify strategies to embody the core values of a VRO so they can effectively lead and advocate for transformation in public service.​

​FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is VRP?

VRP stands for Values Restoration Program. This is a public-private program sanctioned by the Civil Service Commission and released through CSC Announcement No. 40 s. 2017. By definition, VRP refers to the initiatives undertaken by the Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values (CRFV) with the aim of establishing a graft-free and value-laden society.

What are the goals of VRP?

There are three goals which define all other objectives aimed by VRP:

1. To empower government employees by raising Organic VROs who will effectuate the implementation of Values Restoration Program;
   
2. To strengthen the public-private partnership advocacy of the state by engaging  Counterpart Private Sector Representative (PSR) VROs in the drive against corruption and inefficiency in the government; and
   
3. To emphasize the necessity of consistent education in values restoration by conducting regular trainings and seminars that will raise public awareness on the evils of corruption and the means of fighting the same.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VRP AND MRP?

In essence, VRP advocates all principles espoused by MRP (Moral Recovery Program), released through Executive Order 319: Institutionalizing the Moral Recovery Program (MRP) in all government departments, offices, agencies, and government-owned and controlled corporations through the establishment of Integrity Circles. While MRP is state-initiated, VRP is CSO-initiated, state-sanctioned. VRP simply leverages on existing government policy on MRP as a means to strengthen the moral resources of the Filipino people rooted in Filipino culture, values, and ideals that are pro-God, pro-People, pro-Country, and pro-Nature.

WHO ARE ENJOINED TO SUPPORT VRP?

CSC Announcement No. 40 s. 2017 is addressed to all heads of constitutional bodies, departments, bureaus, and national government agencies (NGAs); local government units (LGUs); government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) with original charters; and state universities and colleges (SUCs).

WHAT ARE THE PROGRAM COMPONENTS OF VRP?

VRP has Six program components, namely:

1. VRO Training the Trainers (Appointment) Training;
2. Public Accountability and Values Enhancement Seminar (PAVES);
   
3. Paralegal Training;
   
4. Public Service and Values Program (PSVP);
   
5. Nation Builders Summit (NBS);
6. Customized Trainings.
   

WHAT IS A VRO?

VRO (Values Restoration Officer) refers to an action officer from CRFV, to organic employees from different government agencies who were trained and appointed by CRFV who shall undertake the implementation of the VRP.

HOW DO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IMPLEMENT VRP?

CRFV will first coordinate with the agency concerned to provide orientation and briefing on VRP. Then, the agency concerned shall organize the conduct of PAVES, which is the basic requirement before the appointment of prospective VROs. From among the participants of PAVES, the head of the agency shall designate/appoint an organic employee, preferably from the Human Resource Department, Guidance Office, or Values Education Department, as the case may be, to act as the agency’s Values Restoration Officer. 

​Next, CRFV will coordinate with the appointed VRO for the full-swing implementation of VRP in the agency, which will begin with the conduct of the WVF. 

ARE THE VRO S REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN MATERIAL TO DISCUSS DURING THE WVF?

No. CRFV shall provide respective VROs the materials needed for the implementation of VRP, specifically WVF. In particular, CRFV has produced Transforming the Nation through Values, a book containing fifty-two (52) value focuses that will cover the number of weeks in the entire year.

 HOW LONG SHALL VRP BE IN EFFECT FOR?

VRP shall remain as an official CSC-sanctioned government policy unless expressly and intently recalled and reversed by CSC. To measure effectiveness, however, CRFV has set a 7-year program of implementation. This will ensure that the values advocated by VRP are thoroughly ingrained in the hearts and minds of its recipients.

IS VRP LIMITED TO THE CONDUCT OF DISCUSSIONS, TRAININGS, AND SYMPOSIA ALONE?

No. VRP is encompassing. Considering the substance of values, morals, and ethics inculcated by VRP, it is expected that other programs and projects shall spring out of the implementation of VRP, especially in areas with diverse and imminent needs, and in which there is a necessity to customize the program. This may include organic farming, entrepreneurship, personality development, skills-based training, and other customized programs.

ARE OTHER CSO S ALLOWED TO UNDERTAKE VRP?

Technically, no. VRP is sanctioned solely for CRFV, although this does not inhibit other CSOs from developing and implementing their own values/moral programs. Those who intend to implement VRP in their respective localities must first engage in a Memorandum of Agreement with CRFV. VRP as a concept is exclusively owned by CRFV.

IS THERE A COMPENSATION FOR BEING A VRO?

None. However, a volunteer VRO shall have access to the pool of national-level trainings and seminars provided by CRFV. They may use it as part of their curriculum vitae. Moreover, a VRO shall be empowered to act as government watch for Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA), procurement, environmental protection, fair labor, and other civil and administrative issues and concerns.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SUPPORTING VRP?

By supporting VRP, you become an advocate for values restoration and moral recovery among government ranks. At present, several anti-corruption organizations such as Transparency International estimate cost of corruption in the Philippines at twenty per cent of the annual gross national budget, which is a conservative figure. If every single government employee will have consistent knowledge and understanding of the effects of corruption, then we can move on forward as a country devoid of crooked and self-serving politicians and government officials. Imagine what this means to your children and the next generations to come.

DOES A VRO HAVE THE POLICE POWER TO APPREHEND ERRING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND/OR EMPLOYEES?

None. However, representing CRFV which is a partner CSO of CSC, VROs are advised to be both confident and prudent in handling graft and corruption-related cases which they may face in the course of delivering their service

CAN WE USE OUR VRO APPOINTMENT TO OBTAIN SPECIAL PRIVILEGES WHILE AVAILING SERVICES FROM THE GOVERNMENT (E.G. OBTAINING CLEARANCE, EVADING TRAFFIC VIOLATION TICKETS)?

Definitely not. As the proponent of integrity and righteousness through VRP, VROs and partner CSOs are discouraged from cutting corners, violating the law, or getting around with it. VROs are deemed truthful to their vow as advocates of righteousness, justice, and peace.

WHAT SUPPORT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM CRFV IN THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VRP?

The CRFV team is always available to attend to your queries and concerns. We have annual capacity building for all VROs; we also publish supplementary articles that you may use during WVF discussions.
