| At the Corps,
“character development and capability building”
are central to the organization’s growth for members
are the strength, the power and the source of ideas
that expand possibilities for the Corps to grow and
achieve its mission; - to seek the best of everyone,
and foster “peace consciousness, human development
and the preservation of mother earth”.
Corp’s Training aims to harness
human potential for one to become effective mover for
change towards human development that is centered on
understanding ONESELF that would discover ways to experience,
explore, and expand one’s limits as human being.
Importantly, for one to have a full grasp of one’s
mind that refers to the “psychological”
aspects; - one’s body that refers to the physical
aspects; - and the “body and mind relationship”;
for these lead to vast panorama of new possibilities
and realizations that will shade lights to every aspect
of one’s life and “beingness”.
Every
member acknowledges that one’s personality is
the product:
- Heredity;
- Physical Activity and
Exposure, - physical actions, activities and encounters
experienced;
- Emotional and Psychological Activity
and Exposure, - feelings, attitudes and experiences;
- Nutrition; both psychological and physical, that
the “body and mind” take and digest in order
to supply itself with the necessary elements for regeneration
and continued growth;
- Environment – all
physical, social and psychological structures within
which we live. Environmental and heredity factors are
givens; environment differs from heredity because we
can change them by taking steps to alter it or simply
changing locations.
To bring the
best in ONSELF; - one has to understand one’s
mind, and body; and its relationship. Re-evaluate what
has become of oneself, - considering past conditionings
that made one’s character to be able to reconfigure
his character; heighten human potentials; expand capabilities,
and discover beliefs and practices conducive to achieving
goals. These give members better perspective, meaning,
and purpose of life that will help sets life’s
direction in the right path. Thus transcends one into
a new person with a high state of consciousness of oneself
and beings’ interrelatedness, interconnectedness
and “interdependence” that will enable one
to live in peace with other beings that's in accord
with nature laws and processes as one fulfills one’s
innate responsibility as caretaker of our living Planet
Earth.
As the training molds members to have
a good perspective of the world around him, foresight
of what lies ahead and a strong personality to face
challenges, - it also focuses on expanding members’
human capabilities that would enlarge their choices
as agent of development coupled with track and credibility
building, networking, positioning and exposure as to
expand opportunities that would give Vanguards an edge
of success in the future. To unwaveringly uphold on
this road map to success, members strictly observed
established code of beliefs and “norms and conduct”
of the organization which through time have become a
way of life among members.
HDI conducts
a well rounded and multi-faceted theoretical and skills
oriented training that cover varied subjects on human
development, e.g. sustainable mountain development,
pollution and waste management, health, statistics and
others. This includes enhancing communication and presentation
skills, and basic trade skills - and even martial arts
to sharpen mind and body coordination. Other indispensable
trainings that members undertake are mountaineering,
navigation, swimming and survival at sea, first aid,
marksmanship, and others. Trainings are done at HDI
Headquarters, during field work and conducting research.
A number of these trainings are likewise conducted in
collaboration with partner institutions like the Philippine
Navy Seal, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Air Force,
DENR and others.
