We believe that the Philippines is blessed to have gifted and talented citizens. Many Filipinos excel in different fields here and abroad. They excel in various fields, like music, arts, literature, dance, and sports. We also read about Filipinos excelling in law, politics, business, medicine, and social sciences. There are also outstanding Filipino scientists and mathematicians. The gifted are truly gifts to our nation.

This module was conceptualized to help teachers and students in understanding gifted and talented students. It facilitates better understanding of the nature, characteristics, needs, and personalities of Filipino gifted learners. Gifted students are unlike other normal students in the classroom. They are capable of high performance, and demonstrate extraordinary performance, leadership, and capability in any creative and intellectual activities and other academic fields. If their potentials, abilities, and talents are fully developed and utilized, they could be valuable human assets for a nation.
