This study employed qualitative research, applying a phenomenological approach to determine the experiences of Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) teachers utilizing the inculcation approach as well as the learning outcomes attained by the students. This study made use of one-on-one interviews with ten (10) secondary teachers who teach Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP) or Values Education, as well as those who employ the inculcation approach at Western Mindanao State University's (WMSU) Integrated Laboratory School (ILS) in Zamboanga City, Philippines. The study revealed that teachers defined the inculcation approach as instilling values and students following instructions. Teachers have been utilizing it in their EsP classes, and there were no difficulties encountered by the teachers and they can conceivably integrate the inculcation approach to the EsP concepts in their distinctive way: making reference to the topic of the student's life experiences, giving examples, and constantly instructing and reminding students. The learning outcomes are achieved by the students and can be demonstrated through the assessments or evaluation, through students’ active participation, and if students’ exhibit good behavior by applying and practicing values that have been instilled in them.
