The NCAA conducted two years of research as part of Project Destination's production conducting focus group discussion with various groups including indigenous groups, the academe, and the business sector and inquired them of what do they value "as a Filipino". The discussions were held using various dialects and languages.

The NCAA were able to identify 160 values and trimmed down their list to just 19 by dropping values that have the same meaning or is similar to another. According to the agency the most common values they identify relate to "love for family" and "giving importance to education".
