This study investigated the relationship between the integration of Gender Equity Concepts and learners' Values Formation in the Division of Malaybalay City District IX for SY 2025–2026. Specifically, it assessed the integration of gender equity across curriculum content, pedagogical approaches, and learning environments, and its impact on fostering social values such as inclusivity and fairness. Data collected from public school teachers were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. Findings revealed a highly evident integration of gender concepts, reflecting a strong teacher commitment to gender-sensitive strategies. Consequently, learners exhibited highly positive values formation, characterized by deep respect for diversity and social responsibility. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant relationship between gender equity integration and values formation. The study concludes that mainstreaming gender concepts effectively enhances students' moral and ethical development. It is recommended that schools strengthen gender-mainstreaming initiatives and provide continuous professional development for teachers to sustain an inclusive and equitable learning environment.
