Nature and Structure of Makabayan What is said of Makabayan as a learning area? Is said to be a “a laboratory of life” or a practice environment. Is a learning area that provides the Filipino learner the quality time to demonstrate practical knowledge and skills of empathy, vocational efficiency and problem solving in daily life. Love of country serves as the unifying principle for the diverse values in this learning area, thus it is called pagkakabayan or makabayan for short.

As a practice environment, Makabayan will cultivate in the learner a healthy, personal and national self concept which includes an adequate understanding of Phil. History and a genuine appreciation of our local culture, crafts, arts, music and games. It will also promote a constructive or healthy patriotism which is neither hostile nor isolationist toward other nations but appreciative of global interpendence.
