This study was conducted to determine the correlation between teachers integration and students manifestation of DepEd's Core Values, Maka-Dios, Maka-tao, Makakalikasan and Makabansa, in Don Pablo Lorenzo Memorial High School, school year 2023-2024. The study adopted the descriptive-quantitative method of research, involving fifteen (15) values teachers and one hundred fifteen (115) randomly selected Grade 10 students. The findings revealed that the teacher's integration of DepEd Core Values and the student's manifestation were both described as very high. There is a linear relationship between the extent of teacher integration and student manifestation of the DepEd Core Values. There was no significant difference in the respondent's manifestation of DepEd Core Values when data were grouped in terms of sex, parents' educational attainment, ethnicity and family monthly income. However, the environmental practices deserve attention, though they scored very high but slightly lower than other indicators. This study hereby recommends the continued integration of the core values in all grade levels of Basic Education and that class hours for the subject be extended.
