Step-by-step explanation:
The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) pays close attention to the empowering
nature of culture. Cultural awareness is a requirement for social inclusion and
equity. Enhancing the social fabric toward a high-trust society entails building
better relations for social cohesion among people. More and better interactions
among members of a community, in turn, require awareness and appreciation
of culture and values that drive people’s attitudes and behavior. Culture is that
complex whole of the people’s way of life, which includes the knowledge, belief,
art, law, morals, customs, values, ideas, sentiments, and any other capabilities
acquired by a person as a member of society. It offers a summation and distillation
of the past that provides a sound basis for living in the present and marching into
the future
