Project W.A.T.C.H., which stands for We Advocate Time Consciousness and Honesty, is a program of the Department of Education aimed at promoting the values of punctuality and honesty among its officials, employees, and learners. It was launched in 2008 thru DepEd Memorandum Nos. 160 and 387 s. of 2008, and is a joint advocacy movement with the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Senate of the Philippines.
Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued Presidential Proclamation No. 1782 dated May 21, 2009 entitled "Declaring the Month of June as W.A.T.C.H. Month and Enjoining All Schools, Colleges, Universities, and Local Government Units (LGUs) to Undertake Programs of Activities Relating Thereto Every Second Week of June". Its major goal is to push forward the recognition of punctuality and honesty as two core values in promoting national renewal and development.
The program seeks to instill these values as fundamental to character development and societal transformation. It encourages schools to establish WATCH Clubs, integrate the values into the curriculum, conduct training, and organize activities to promote punctuality and honesty.
