Establishment and Policy of the Moral Recovery Program (MRP)

Proclamation No. 62 (1992) declared the Moral Recovery Program as official government policy.
MRP aims to strengthen moral resources through Filipino cultural values that are pro-God, pro-people, pro-country, and pro-nature.
The program calls for active societal participation to build a nation centered on God, empowered people, and a responsive, democratic, and effective government.

Rationale for Institutionalizing the MRP

Despite existing measures such as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials (R.A. No. 6713), problems like graft, corruption, dishonesty, and patronage persist in the public sector.
The Third National Summit on Peace and Order affirmed the need for moral enhancement and transformation as a government commitment.

Mandatory Formation of Integrity Circles

All government entities, including departments, agencies, instrumentalities, and government-owned or controlled corporations, must establish Integrity Circles or similar mechanisms.
These circles aim to embed Filipino core values into organizational culture, systems, and processes.

Role and Responsibilities of the Moral Recovery Program National Secretariat and Moral Recovery Officers (MROs)

The MRP National Secretariat monitors the implementation through the Government Sector Core Group.
Each agency’s MRO is tasked to initiate the formation of Integrity Circles and develop strategies to facilitate personal and systemic changes.

Funding Provisions

Agencies must allocate 1% of their Human Resource Development/Training budget for initial MRP implementation.
Additional funding may be provided subject to Department of Budget and Management approval.

Agency Support and Development of Role Models

Agencies must support the Integrity Circles’ efforts to promote moral recovery transformations.
The program emphasizes developing role models at all levels and sectors within the government.

Effectivity

The Executive Order takes effect immediately upon signing.
