We believe that…

. . . the Marriage Encounter Foundation of the Philippines is the center and energizer of the ME Movement in the Philippines, alive and inspired by the Holy Spirit, instrumental in God’s work plan in marriage through its Total Program in Family Spirituality, where there is no outgroup or outcast… where everyone is needed and appreciated and has a role to play.

… the Marriage Encounter Foundation of the Philippines is the core of all its member communities, a body of many parts which exists as a community of individuals - where healthy, loving relationships go beyond masks through communication that is honest and sincere where time, talent and treasure are generously available and eagerly shared in programs of evangelization and transformation, particularly in the parish community.

… each community is composed of couples and families sharing a common vision, which continue the act of creation in their daily lives, promoting in their families the principles of stewardship, simplicity, sharing and service. Where homes are havens of peace and refuge and the fundamental values of courage, honesty, integrity are taught and encouraged. Where children are brought up with the strength to make a difference and “become the change they seek in this world.”
