What is the NACPHIL chaplaincy?

NACPHIL specifies its chaplaincy ministry by implementing the Philippine government’s Moral Recovery and Values ​​Formation Program, providing pastoral care and assistance especially to the depressed and oppressed, fulfilling the two (2) Big Ones in the New Testament to fulfill. Jesus Christ summarized the 10 commandments in two and it is about a correct relationship with God and men: the key to lasting peace and prosperity, the necessary tool for a good government.

1) The Great Commandment, love God above all things and love your neighbor. There are only two important laws as the Lord summed up the Ten Commandments of Moses and these are “to love God with all our heart, mind and soul and to love our neighbor (men) as we love ourselves”.

2) The Great Commission of Christ, sharing and teaching the Word of God, and living a model life for godly, well-governed Filipino society.

NACPHIL focuses its chaplaincy program by training religious leaders from different religious groups and affiliations, and denominations to produce qualified and competent chaplains or values ​​formation officers (VFOs). And then deploy them in their respective areas of assignment, and manage and monitor them to ensure their effectiveness in service.

NACPHIL requires each chaplain/VFO to undergo continuing education by attending prescribed Training Courses, Enhancement Seminars, and Spiritual Formation Retreats to maintain and maximize their effectiveness in their respective fields of endeavor.

Primarily, NACPHIL commissions and deploys Chaplains/VFOs in all Barangays, Municipalities/Cities, Provinces, Regions and other government controlled units, departments, offices, agencies and corporations throughout the country. If NACPHIL obtains more trained and qualified chaplains, the rollout will extend to other private institutions, organizations, schools and universities, commercial establishments and corporations, and many more.

In this regard, DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo issued Memorandum Circular No. 2011-58 dated April 25, 2011, directed and addressed to all Provincial Governors, Municipal and City Mayors, Punong Barangays, DILG Regional Directors and other stakeholders to support NACPHIL programs and seminars on moral recovery and values. National training.

With intense prayer the NACPHIL family dreams that one day Moral Recovery and Formation in Values ​​(or Chaplaincy) will become one of the offices/agencies of the Local Government. To fulfill this dream, someone in Congress or the Senate should respond to the challenge, and take the initiative to promote a Bill for the issuance of the Law of the Republic. From now on, while we await the fulfillment of the dream, the Sanggunian and the Local Government Chief Executives, with the endorsement of the DILG Director, can respond to the challenge of presenting a Resolution and creating an Ordinance to make Values.
