• Goes beyond being learner-centered as it encourages student’s personal involvement in the learning process through its emphasis on the relevance and application of the theological lessons to the Filipino’s life of faith
• Presents the Good News in its threefold dimension of doctrine, morals, and worship
• Draws its doctrinal bases from the latest official national and universal sources on catechesis and religious education: Revised National Catechetical Directory for the Philippines, Catechism for Filipino Catholics, Catechism of the Catholic Church, and General Directory for Catechesis
• Ensures soundness of Catholic teachings as it bears a nihil obstat and an imprimatur from the Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education
• Includes new layout, pictures, and illustrations
• With new student activities and paraliturgies after each unit.

• Worktext presents an experiential study of Christian Living through these lesson components:
• Context establishes relationship and relevance of lessons to the students’ experiences.
• Exposition clarifies the essentials of faith using Scriptures, Church teachings, and human experiences.
• Integration explains the doctrine, moral, and worship dimensions of the faith message.

The worktext also offers review questions and journal activities that aim to evaluate the students’ understanding and appreciation of the Christian message in a lesson.

• Learning Guide with Curriculum Map features objectives, background information, doctrinal sources, materials, suggested procedure for each chapter, enrichment activities, subject area integration tips, and unit tests with answer keys.
• Teachers Wraparound Edition (TWE) contains a detailed curriculum map, ICT-laden activities, and Quick Response (QR) codes for additional resources. The learning is also wrapped around the pages of the book.

• Since the nature of the subject is teaching values with the goal of making the learners eventually internalize and practice the values, this series follows the process of going through the five macro skills: pag-unawa (understanding), pagninilay (reflecting), pagsangguni (consulting), pagpapasya (decision making), and pagkilos (performing/acting).
• The lessons in the series effectively use these five macro skills to enable the learners to eventually develop desirable attitudes and habits, for them to grow in their capacity and personal commitment to do their best, to do what is the good, and to lead a more meaningful and integrated human experience.
• As our young Filipino learners go through the lessons in the series, they will hopefully learn:
• pagpapakatao at pagiging kasapi ng pamilya (becoming human and family responsibility);
• pakikipagkapwa (treating others as fellow human beings);
• pagmamahal sa bansa at pakikibahagi sa pandaigdigang pagkakaisa (love of country and global solidarity); and
• pagkamaka-Diyos at preperensya sa kabutihan (love for God and preference for the good).
• The series envisions young persons who are committed to self-fulfillment, family-centered, disciplined and self-reliant, socially mature and emotionally stable, nationalistic and responsible citizens, and God-loving and deeply rooted in their faith in God.
• Character Formation for Nation Building series supports the national education goal—to provide a well-rounded education that will assist each individual in his or her society and help the individual attain his or her potential as a human being, and to enhance the range and quality of the individuals within the group.

Ang seryeng PINTIG ng Lahing Pilipino ay lumilinang ng mga kasanayang nakasalig sa batayang konseptuwal sa pagtuturo ng Filipino na itinakda ng K to 12 Kurikulum ng DepEd. Pinapatnubayan nito ang mga mag-aaral sa pagpapahusayng mga makrong kasanayan— pakikinig, pagsasalita, pagbasa, pagsulat, at panonood. Isinaalang-alang din sa seryeng ito ang mga konsepto hinggil sa pangangailangang panlipunan, lokal at global na pamayanan, at ang kalikasan ng mga mag-aaral. Makatutulong ang serye sa paglinang ng mga kaisipan at pilosopiyang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng paglalakip ng mga piling akda at tekstong hahamon sa kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral sa kritikal na pag-iisipat replektibong panunuri. Tinatalakay ang mga aralin gamit ang makabagong teknolohiya upang mapalawak ang kaalaman ng mga mag-aaral sa kapaki-pakinabang na gawain tungo sa mga angkop na propesyon. Nakapaloob din sa serye ang paggamit ng mga teorya sa kalikasan at pagtuturo ng wika, mga teorya at simulain sa pagsusuring panliterasi, at mga pagdulog sa pagtuturo ng mga akdang pampanitikan. Sa tulong din nito, naisasabuhay ang mga pagpapahalagang Pilipino na nakasalig sa mga paksang tungkol sa pangangalaga sa kalikasan, pagkakapantay-pantay anuman ang kasarian, paggalang sa karapatang pantao, at pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at katarungan sa bayan.
