The growing presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational practice presented profound opportunities and ethical questions for teachers of values education in the Philippines, particularly in Batangas Province. AI technologies reshaped learning processes, assessment, and pedagogy, yet their integration into values formation remained under-conceptualized. This paper developed a framework for AI-assisted values education that was responsive to the said province’s context. It synthesized theories of moral development, character formation, and digital ethics, and examined Batangas cultural values and policy directions under the Department of Education (DepEd). Drawing upon global research on AI in education and the national movement toward ethical and responsible AI, the study proposed a five-component conceptual model grounded in cultural alignment, teacher competence, ethical AI design, pedagogical innovation, and values assessment. The framework highlighted the indispensable role of teachers as moral agents and cultural mediators, ensuring that AI amplified humanistic learning rather than replacing it. Ultimately, the paper argued that a contextualized model of AI-assisted values education could strengthen moral formation, civic responsibility, and digital citizenship among Filipino learners in the emerging AI-driven society.
