ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE JUDICIARY
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
According to American Jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. “the life of the law has
not been logic: it has been experience”. The felt necessities of time, the prevalent
moral and political theories, and intuitions of public policy even the prejudices which
judges share with their fellowmen, have had good deal more to do than the syllogism
in determining the rules by which men should be governed.
This of-quoted statement not only tells us that judges determine the rules to be
applied in resolving legal disputes (cases): it also states that judges are influenced by
the sentiments of the times, prevailing public policy, and even their own biases. But
these truths do not pertain only to judges who are but part of the judicial department
of the government called the judiciary. They also apply to justices of the appellate
courts, who are at the apex of that institution.
So why is there a need for the judiciary, reputed to be the weakest branch of
the government? Although a country maybe governed by laws, its citizens often find
themselves at odds with each other, or even with their own government. Such conflict
is brought by divergent and often clashing interests. These conflicting interests require
resolution; this is provided ideally by a neutral arbiter-the judge or the panel of justices.
If a case is brought before them, then these magistrates are bound to determine the
rights and responsibilities of the parties to the case. In a word, they render justice.
Under Article VIII, Sec.1, the judicial power is vested in “one Supreme Court
and in such lower courts as may be established by law.” This judicial power is
exercised through the judiciary’s primary role of adjudication, which includes the “duty
of the courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally
demandable and enforceable, and to determine whether or not there has been a grave
abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch
or instrumentality of the government.”
The judiciary is the system of courts that interprets, defends and applies the law
in the name of the state. The judiciary can also be thought of as the mechanism for
the resolution of disputes. In many jurisdictions the judicial branch has the power to
change laws through the process of judicial review.

The Philippine Judiciary is a hierarchical organization consisting of four levels,
with the Supreme Court at the top tier exercising administrative supervision over all
courts and court personnel and wielding jurisdiction to “review, revise, reverse, modify,
or affirm on appeal or certiorari, as the law or the Rules of Court may provide, final
judgments or orders of lower courts” cases specified in Article VIII, section 5(2) of the
1987 Constitution. Within each level, the courts are coordinate and equal and do not
enjoy review jurisdiction over each other’s decisions, resolutions, writs, and processes.
The third level courts are collegiate courts, working in divisions of at least three
Justices; the second and first level courts are single-judge courts and are the trial
courts and finders of fact at the first instanc
The Supreme Court
At the top tier of the judicial hierarchy is the Supreme Court. It is presided over
by a Chief Justice and is composed of 14 other Justices. The Court may adjudicate
En Banc or in divisions of three, five or seven Justices each. Currently, the Supreme
Court is organized into the En Banc and three divisions of five (5) Justices each.
Under the Constitution, it has supervision over the courts, judges, and court
personnel. Its members sit until retirement at age 70 or unless sooner removed by
reason of ill health, death or conviction after impeachment.
Decisions of the Court, whether sitting en banc or in division, are imbued with
authoritativeness and, unless reconsidered by the Court, are considered part of the
law of the land.
The Supreme Court has both original and appellate jurisdiction. It exercises
original jurisdiction (cases are directly filed with it in the first instance without first
passing through any of the lower courts) over cases affecting ambassadors, other
public ministers and consuls, and over petitions for certiorari, prohibition, mandamus,
quo warranto, and habeas corpus. (Art. VIII, §5(1)). It also has original jurisdiction over
writs of amparo, habeas data and the environmental writ of kalikasan. It exercises
appellate jurisdiction to review, revise, reverse, modify, or affirm final judgments, and
orders of the lower courts in:
(a) All cases in which the constitutionality or validity of any treaty, international or
executive agreement, law, presidential decree, proclamation, order, instruction,
ordinance, or regulation is in question.
(b) All cases involving the legality of any tax, impost, assessment, or toll, or any
penalty imposed in relation thereto.
(c)
All cases in which the jurisdiction of any lower court is in issue.
(d)
All criminal cases in which the penalty imposed is reclusion perpetua or higher.
(e) All cases in which only an error or question of law is involved. (Art. VIII, §5(1),
(2))
The Supreme Court has the power to promulgate rules concerning the protection and
enforcement of constitutional rights, pleading, practice, and procedure in all courts
(Constitution 1987, Art. VIII, Sec. 5[5]). These rules shall provide a simplified and
inexpensive procedure for the speedy disposition of cases, be uniform for all courts of
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
2
the same grade, and shall not diminish, increase or modify substantive rights (Art. VIII,
Sec. 5[5]).
The Supreme Court, sitting En Banc, has administrative supervision over all
courts and the personnel thereof (Constitution 1987, Art. VIII, Sec. 6). Justices of the
third level courts and judges of the second and first level courts are appointed by the
President of the Philippines from a shortlist provided by the Judicial and Bar Council.
The Supreme Court can however assign temporarily judges of lower courts to other
stations as public interest may request. Such temporary assignment shall not exceed
six months without the consent of the judge concerned (Constitution 1987, Art. VIII,
Sec. 5[3]). The Supreme Court has supervision over the Judicial and Bar Council,
which has the principal function of recommending appointees to the judiciary. (Art. VIII,
Sec. 8[5]).The Supreme Court appoints all officials and employees of the Judiciary in
accordance with the Civil Service Law (Art. VIII, Sec. 5[6]). The Supreme Court can
also order a change of venue or place of trial to avoid a miscarriage of justice
(Constitution 1987, Art. VIII, Sec. 5[4]).
The Supreme Court En Banc has the power to discipline judges of all the lower
courts or order their dismissal by a vote of a majority of the members who actually took
part in the deliberation on the issue in the case and voted thereon (Constitution 1987,
Art. VIII, Sec. 11). The Supreme Court has supervision over the mandatory
organization of all lawyers, the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. (Art. VIII, Sec. 5[5]).
It also has the sole power to admit qualified candidates to the practice of law and has
the power to promulgate the rules necessary for that purpose (Art. VIII, Sec. 5[5]).
The Judiciary shall enjoy fiscal autonomy. Appropriations for the Judiciary may
not be reduced by the legislature below the amount appropriated for the previous year
and, after approval, shall be automatically and regularly released (Art. VIII, Sec. 3).
The Supreme Court is given the authority to promulgate rules concerning legal
assistance to the underprivileged (Art. VIII, Sec. 5[5]). This would be consistent with
the guarantee under Article III, section 11 that “(f)ree access to the courts and quasijudicial bodies and adequate legal assistance shall not be denied to any person by
reason of poverty.”
It also has the authority to disapprove the rules of procedures of quasi-judicial
bodies; existing rules of procedure shall remain effective however unless disapproved
by the Supreme Court (Art. VIII, Sec. 5[5]); Antonio v. Commission on Elections; 373
Phil. 680 [1999]).
The Supreme Court, sitting En Banc, is the sole judge of all contests, relation
to the election, returns, and qualifications of the President or Vice-President and may
promulgate its rules for the purpose (Art. VII, Sec. 4). Faced with an appropriate case,
the Court En Banc sits as a Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET).
The Senate and the House of Representatives shall each have an Electoral
Tribunal which shall be the sole judge of all contests relating to the elections, returns,
and qualifications of their respective Members. Each Electoral Tribunal shall be
composed of nine Members, three of whom shall be Justices of the Supreme Court to
be designated by the Chief Justice, and the remaining six shall be Members of the
Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may be, who shall be chosen on
the basis of proportional representation from the political parties and the parties or
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
3
organizations registered under the party-list system represented therein. The senior
Justice in the Electoral Tribunal shall be its Chair (Art. VI, Sec. 17).
The Court of Appeals
At the third tier of the hierarchy are three collegiate courts, one of which is the
Court of Appeals (CA). The CA is the primary appellate court of the Philippines,
exercising its powers, functions and duties through 23 divisions of three members
each. It sits in three stations--the City of Manila, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro. The CA’s
18th, 19th, and 20th Divisions comprise the CA Visayas Station and are located in
Cebu City, while its 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Divisions comprise the CA Mindanao Station
and are based in Cagayan de Oro City. The first 17 Stations are located in the City of
Manila.
The CA is assigned to review cases elevated to it from the Regional Trial Courts
(RTCs) as well as quasi-judicial agencies such as the Civil Service Commission,
Securities and Exchange Commission, National Labor Relations Commission, and the
Land Registration Authority. The CA also reviews cases where the sentence is
reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment, as well as decisions of the Office of the
Ombudsman in administrative disciplinary cases. The CA is a collegial court and sits
en banc only to exercise administrative, ceremonial or other non-adjudicatory
functions. Being an appellate court, it resolves cases based on the record of the
proceedings from the trial court; in certain cases, however, the CA also conducts
hearings and receives evidence such as, for instance, in applications for the writ of
Amparo or Habeas Data, whether in the exercise of original jurisdiction or on remand
from the Supreme Court.
The CA also has the original and exclusive jurisdiction to issue freeze orders
over any monetary instrument or property under the Anti-Money Laundering Act of
2001 or RA 9160. It is also the court with original and exclusive jurisdiction to allow
surveillance and monitoring of communications under the Human Security Act of 2007
or RA 9372.
Also at the third tier are two special courts, the Sandiganbayan and the Court
of Tax Appeals, which, like the CA are collegial courts. But unlike the CA, both have
very specific jurisdictions.
The Court of Tax Appeals
The Court of Tax Appeals is a special collegiate court composed of a Presiding
Justice and eight Associate Justices; it may sit en banc or in three divisions of three
Justices each. RA 9282, which took effect on March 30, 2004, has elevated the status
of the CTA to that of the Court of Appeals.
The CTA has exclusive jurisdiction to review on appeal decisions in cases
involving disputed assessments, refunds of internal revenue taxes, fees, or other
charges, penalties in relation thereto, or other matters arising under the National
Internal Revenue Code. It also exercises original jurisdiction over all criminal offenses
arising from violations of the Tax or Tariff Codes and other laws administered by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue or the Bureau of Customs.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
4
The Sandiganbayan
The Sandiganbayan is an anti-graft court that has jurisdiction to try public
officers with a salary grade of 27 and above (including any co-accused who are private
persons) charged with criminal cases involving violation of the country’s laws on graft
and corruption, particularly RA 3019, as amended, otherwise known as the Anti-Graft
and Corrupt Practices Act, and corresponding civil cases for recovery of civil liability
arising from the offense. Likewise, the Sandiganbayan is vested with appellate
jurisdiction over final judgments, resolutions or orders of the RTC whether in the
exercise of their original or appellate jurisdiction over crimes and civil cases falling
within the original exclusive jurisdiction of the Sandiganbayan but which were
committed by public officers below Salary Grade 27.
Private individuals can be tried in cases before the Sandiganbayan if they are
alleged to be in conspiracy with the public officer. The decisions of the Sandiganbayan
are directly appealable to the Supreme Court.
Prior to April 16, 2015, the Sandiganbayan was composed of a Presiding
Justice and 14 Associate Justices who sit in five divisions of three Justices each. On
April 16, 2015, Republic Act No. 10660, “An Act Strengthening the Functional and
Structural Organization of the Sandiganbayan,” expanding the Sandiganbayan and
enabling it to speed up disposition of high-profile cases was passed by Congress and
signed into law by the President.
Under RA 10660, the appointment of six additional justices comprising two
additional divisions are provided. With the operation of RA 10660, there are now 21
Sandiganbayan justices sitting in seven divisions of three members each (Section 1
of RA 10660).
The Trial Courts of the First and Second Level
In the first tier are the Courts of the First Level consisting of the Metropolitan
Trial Courts (MeTCs), which are established in Metropolitan Manila; the Municipal Trial
Courts in Cities (MTCCs), in every city which does not form part of Metropolitan Manila;
the Municipal Trial Courts (MTCs), established in each of the other cities or
municipalities; and Municipal Circuit Trial Courts (MTCCs), created in each circuit
comprising such cities and/or municipalities as grouped by law.
At the same level are the Shari’a Circuit Courts (SCC). Shari’a Courts have
been established in Islamic regions and provinces to interpret and apply the Code of
Muslim Personal Laws (under Presidential Decree No. 1083). Their decisions are
appealable to the Shari’a Appellate Court which, however, has yet to be organized.
The second tier consists of the Regional Trial Courts (RTCs) established in
each of the thirteen (13) regions in the Philippines. Each RTC may be composed of a
single sala or of several branches. RTCs have both original and appellate jurisdiction.
In exercising the former jurisdiction, RTCs act as trial courts receiving evidence in the
first instance from the parties to a case falling within its jurisdiction; in exercising the
latter jurisdiction, the RTCs act as a court of appeal over the decisions of the Courts
of the First Level.
Also on the same level are the Shari’a District Courts (SDC), whose decisions
are appealable to the still-to-be organized Shari’a Appellate Court. Pending such
organization, SDC Decisions are reviewed by the Supreme Court through the special

civil action of certiorari under Rule 65 if the issue is one of jurisdiction or through a
petition for review on certiorari by way of appeal under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court.

ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
The existence of local government has always been defended on the basis that
is a crucial aspect of the process of the democratization and intensification of mass
participation in the decision-making process. No political system is considered
complete and democratic if it does not have a system of local government.
Local government is a part of the whole government of a nation or state which
is administered by authorities subordinate to the state authority, but elected
independently of control by the state authority by qualified persons resident, or having
property in certain localities, which localities have formed by communities having
common interests and common history.
Local government provides public amenities and services which are necessary
for the convenience, healthful living and welfare of the individual and the community.
Breaking down of municipal services means the entire dislocation of social and
economic life of the community.
Local government is responsible for:
•
•
The function of and delivery of a complete range of services and
infrastructure required by their individual communities
Parks and gardens, roads, streets, bridges, libraries and swimming pool
maintenance.
Local government units include provinces, cities, municipalities, barangays,
and other political subdivisions created by law. Each unit is created based on income,
population, and land area, and may be abolished base on the same criteria.
Hierarchical relations put the province over the municipalities and component cities
within the provincial boundaries. At the base of this hierarchy are the barangays.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
13
Elected local government officials have three-year terms. Local officials are
entitled to three consecutive terms.
•
•
•
Each local government unit has a set of executive and legislative officials
At the provincial level: Governor, Vice-Governor and the members of the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan
At the municipal/ city level: Mayor, Vice-Mayor and members of the
Council (the Sangguniang Bayan and Sangguniang Panlungsod)
The provincial governor is the chief executive of the provincial government. He
shall exercise general supervision and control over all programs, projects, services
and activities of the provincial government. The presiding officer of the Sangguniang
Panlalawigan and sign all warrants drawn on the provincial treasury for all
expenditures appropriated for the operation of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
Depending on the type of government structure, the key leader that oversees
all department within the local government is the mayor, administrator or similar
community leader. The right- hand individual to the administrator is the municipal clerk.
The Vice-Mayor is the presiding officer of the Sangguniang Bayan, while the
Sangguniang Bayan is the legislative body of the municipal body. Punong barangay is
the chief executive of the barangay government.
The levels of the Local Government in the Philippines are:
1. Provinces – intermediate unit is providing supervision to the municipalities and
component cities and under it and performing services for the national
government.
2. Cities and Municipalities – basic units of the local government delivering
services for the people who live together in a community.
3. Barangays – sub-municipal unit, which provides for face-to-face interaction
among the people.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
SUFFRAGE, ELECTION, AND POLITICAL PARTIES
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
All political parties, organizations, and all people should abide by the
constitution and laws without any exemption. They must all act in accordance with the
constitution and laws. I see as that as defining feature of modern political system
development.
Suffrage may be exercised by all citizens of the Philippines not otherwise
disqualified by law, who are at least eighteen years of age, and who shall have resided
in the Philippines for at least one year and in the place wherein they purpose to vote
for at least six months immediately preceding the election.
Suffrage is the right and obligation of qualified Filipino citizen to vote in the
national and local elections and in the decision of public question submitted to them.
Suffrage is merely a privilege to be given to the citizen by the law making power
subject to constitutional limitations. As a right confined by the constitution, suffrage is
classified as a political right, such as election, enabling every citizen to participate in
the process of government to assure that it derive its power from the consent of the
governed.
What are the Scopes of Suffrage?
1. Election. It is the means by which the people choose their officials for definite
and fixed periods and to whom they entrust, for the time being as their representatives,
the exercise of powers of government.
2. Initiative. The power of the people to propose amendments to the
Constitution or to propose and enact legislation.
3. Referendum. Is the power of the electorate to approve or reject legislation
through an election called for the purpose.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
23
4. Plebiscite. It is the name given to a popular vote of the people expressing
their view within their choice for or against a proposed law submitted to them.
5. Recall. It is method by which a public officer may be removed from office
during his tenure or before the expiration of his term by a vote of the people after
registration of a petition signed by a required percentage of the qualified voter.
What are the Qualifications of Voters?
He must be:
1. A citizen (male or female) of the Philippines;
2. Not otherwise disqualified by law;
3. At least eighteen (18) years of age; and
4. Have resided in the Philippines for at least one (1) year and in the place
wherein he proposes to vote for at least six (6) months preceding the election.
Who are disqualified to Vote?
As to who are disqualified to vote, the law enumerate them as follows:
1. Any person who has been sentenced by final judgment to suffer
imprisonment for not less than one (1) year, such disability not having been removed
by plenary pardon or granted amnesty. But such person shall automatically reacquire
the right to vote upon the expiration of five (5) years after service of sentence;
2. Any person who has been adjudged by final judgment by competent court of
tribunal of having committed any crime involving disloyalty to the duly constituted
government such as rebellion, sedition or any crime against national security, unless
restored to his full civil and political rights in accordance with law. Such person shall
likewise automatically regain his right to vote upon expiration of five (5) years after
service of sentence; and
3. Insane or incompetent persons as declared by competent authority. This
person is not qualified to vote even if they have the necessary qualifications.
Section 2. The Congress shall provide a system for securing the secrecy and
sanctity of the ballot as system for absentee voting by qualified Filipinos abroad.
The Congress shall also design a procedure for the disabled and the
illiterates to vote without the assistance of other persons. Until then, they shall
be allowed to vote under existing laws and such rules as the Commission on
Elections (COMELEC) may promulgate to protect the secrecy of the ballot.
The Congress is directed by the constitution to provide a system for securing
the secrecy and sanctity of the ballot.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
24
The sanctity of the electoral process requires secrecy of the vote. Congress will
have to enact a law prescribing procedures that will enable the disabled and the
illiterates to secretly cast their ballots without requiring the assistance of the other
persons, to prevent them from being manipulated by unscrupulous politicians.
Section 2 extends the right of suffrage even to Filipinos abroad provided they
possess all the qualifications mentioned therein and none of the disqualification
provided by law.
Party system referred to as the interactions of parties with each other (Roskin
et. al., 2012). The party is not equated to parties because a party system is seen as
macro perspective whereas parties are micro perspective just focusing on the
particular party. It could be said that the life of political party system depends upon the
kind of party system it has. It describes a relatively sound system of political party and
voter alignments, electoral rules, and political priorities that dominate a Democratic
political syatem’s electoral process for some delimited period.
Classification of Party System
1. The two-party system. This is the system wherein the major political parties
alternates with each other in exercise of political power.
2. The multi-party system. More than two political parties fight an election, and
no single party gets the majority control of power.
Parties may become identified as either “leftist”, “rightist”, or “center” parties
depending upon the tendency of the political views.
1. Leftist party – is the reform-minded party which seeks to change the existing
conditions of the country.
2. Rightist party – is a conservative group which aims to maintain the status quo
in the country.
3. Center party – adopted policies which are a mixture of both left and right
tendencies.
3. The one-party system. Only one political party holds power either because it
towers above the others or because it suppresses all other groups.
Note: The only choices left to voters are
1. to decide whether or not to vote
2. to vote “yes” or “no” for the designated candidate
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times

Functions of Party System
1. Organize the competition
2. Unify the electorate
3. Inspire and inform voters
4. Translate preferences into policy
5. Provide loyal opposition
6. Organize government
7. Help govern
8. Act as watchdogs
9. Nominate candidates
10. Ensure candidate quality
Political Party
➢ An organization that seeks political power by electing people to office so
that its positions and philosophy become public policy.
➢ A political organization that aims to attain and maintain political power
within government, usually by participating in electoral campaign.
➢ It is an organization the mobilize voters on behalf of a joint set of
interests, concerns, and goals.
➢ It is any aggrupation of persons who come together on how well the best
interest of the people might be served.
➢ It is any group providing label upon which candidates run for public
offices.
Heywood (2002) in Aceron (2002), for his part, provides the following list of
functions that political parties must perform:
1. Representation – the capacity to respond and to articulate the views of both
members and voters.
2. Elite Formation and Recruitment – the ability to mold the politicsl elite to
tasked to govern the body politic.
3. Goal Formation – the development of programs of government with a view
of attracting popular support.
4. Interest Articulation and Aggregation – the task of combining and
harmonizing different demands and expressing them into coherent policy formulation.
5. Socialization and Mobilization – the formation of a national agenda and
the creation of public discourse to raise political awareness and built the necessary
values and attitudes that would constitute a larger political culture.
Electoral System in the Philippines
Elections in the Philippines are of several types. The president, vice-president,
and the senators are elected for a six-year term, while the members of the House of
Representatives, governors, vice-governors, members of the Sangguniang
Panlalawigan (provincial board members), mayors, vice-mayors, members of the
Sangguniang Panlungsod/members of the Sangguniang Bayan (city/municipal
councilors), barangay officials, and the members of the Sangguniang Kabataan are
elected to serve for a three-year term.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
26
Congress has two chambers. The House of Representatives has 304 seats as
of 2019, of which 80% are contested in single seat electoral districts and 20% are
allotted to party-lists according to a modified Hare quota with remainders disregarded
and a three-seat cap. These party list seats are only accessible to marginalized and
under-represented groups and parties, local parties, and sectoral wings of major
parties that represent the marginalized. The Constitution of the Philippines allows the
House of Representatives to have more than 250 members by statute without a need
for a constitutional amendment. The Senate has 24 members who are elected on a
nationwide at-large basis; they do not represent any geographical district. Half of the
Senate is renewed every three years.
The Philippines has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which no
one party normally has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with
each other to form a coalition government. The Commission on Elections (COMELEC)
is responsible for running the elections.
Under the Constitution, elections for the members of Congress and local
positions (except barangay officials) occur every second Monday of every third year
after May 1992, and presidential and vice presidential elections occur every second
Monday of May every sixth year after May 1992. All elected officials, except those at
the barangay level, start (and end) their terms of office on 30 June of the election year.
This lesson focuses on suffrage and political parties as political practices in
State. Political parties and elections play a vital role in poltical analysis in developed
and developing countries in analyzing democratization and democratic political
regimes.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
CIVIL SOCIETY AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
The Unite Nations (UN) define “Civil Society” as the “third sector” of society,
along with government and business. It also includes relevant organizations like nongovernment organizations. These civil society organizations are viewed by the state
as partners in improving the standard living of citizens with their own set of goals and
ideals. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) claims that civil society is seen
as social sphere separated from both the state and the market. WHO further reports
that the increasingly accepted understanding of the term civil society organizations
(CSOs) is that of non-state, not-for-profit but voluntary organizations formed by people.
The basis for civil society in the Philippines comes from the Filipino concepts of
pakikipagkapwa (holistic interaction with others) and kapwa (shared inner self).
Voluntary assistance or charity connotes for Filipinos an equal status between the
provider of assistance and the recipient, which is embodied in the terms damayan
(assistance of peers in periods of crisis) and pagtutulungan (mutual self-help). The
Western notion of kawanggawa (charity) may have been introduced to the Philippines
by Catholic missionaries.
The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, forged and shaped in the aftermath of
the 1986 People Power Revolution, clearly recognizes participation and
empowerment, including the important role of CSOs. This may be seen in several
provisions of the Constitution, most prominently in the following:
Article II, Section 23: “The State shall encourage non-governmental,
community-based, or sector organizations that promote the welfare of the nation.”
Article XIII, Section 15: “The State shall respect the role of independent
people’s organizations to enable the people to pursue and protect, within the
democratic framework, their legitimate and collective interests and aspirations through
peaceful and lawful means.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
36
Article XIII, Section 16: “The right of the people and their organizations to
effective and reasonable participation at all levels of social, political and economic
decision-making shall not be abridged. The State shall, by law, facilitate the
establishment of adequate consultation mechanisms.”
According to Tocqueville, civil society plays a role as a key player in the
decentralization of governance and democratic governance. This activity not only to
society but the country also is based on the institutions of democracy and the process
on the country. Civil society is seen as supporting structure in terms of democratizing
the country. According to Robert Putnam, that the role of civil society is closely related
to social capital, that is through norms and networks to enhance the quality of life,
which both can build trust and reciprocity in achieving goals with actions collective.
Furthermore, according to Cox, the civil society is seen as an arena to fight for
and construct an alternative mode of democracy, in accordance with the needs of
particular social classes in exclusion. The relationship between civil society and
democracy the more complex when civil society functioning as a giver of influence on
institutions and governance at the country level, where decentralized power,
resources, and local authorities or institutions non-state deliberated to dominate
politics. Civil society does have a role in making a change in the country, especially in
a democracy.
The movement was undertaken by the civil society generally to establish a
democracy by way of making the transition to democracy, the consolidation of
democracy. This looks at the characteristics of civil society can contribute to the
political situation in a country, for example, monitor the Government, negotiate in
shaping the new Constitution and so on. Democracy gives its own strengths to the
development of civil society in a country, and provide the consequences, i.e., an arena
of power, inequality, camps, conflict, and cooperation among competing identities and
interests.
Civil society can maintain or establish a democracy in a country that is based on its
function, namely:
1. Democracy will run well if there are groups of people who control the Government,
civil society always monitor how public officials in power, using its strength in making
policy, demanding the freedom of access to information laws or regulations such as
the eradication of corruption.
2. Civil society can expose events that exist within the Government, lobbying to reform
the existing policy. Democracies make their role more effectively.
3. Civil society may encourage the life of Westernization in everyday life, such as
tolerance, moderation, compromise, and respect for differences of opinion. Without
such attitudes, then democracy will not run stable.

4. Civil society can promote democratic political participation with the fight for their
rights as citizens, aspires at the voice, solving together and argue about public issues.
5. Civil society can provide the education of democracy, with the cultivation of the
values, concepts, along with training that relates to democracy.
6. Civil society acts as an arena to express, lobbying, which can then be strengthened
democracy because of the formation of new interests and form solidarity so that
democracy can be stable.
7. Civil society can provide information and monitor the elections as well as the
resolution of a conflict. Some of these functions can make democracies can be
effective and legitimate, because of the positive relationship between civil society and
democracy.
Social Movements can be thought of as organized yet informal social entities
that are engaged in an extra-institutional conflict that is oriented towards a goal which
can be concrete and narrow policy or aimed at cultural change (EBSCO Research
Starters, 2009). Furthermore, Social movements are broad alliances of people who
are connected through their shared interest in social change. Social movements can
advocate for a particular social change, but they can also organize to oppose a social
change that is being advocated by another entity. These movements do not have to
be formally organized to be considered social movements. Different alliances can work
separately for common causes and still be considered a social movement.
Tilly (1978) outline a four-stage process of social movement. In the preliminary
stage, people become aware of an issue, and leaders emerge. This is followed by the
coalescence stage when people join together and organize in order to publicize the
issue and raise awareness. In the institutionalization stage, the movement no longer
requires grassroots volunteerism: it is an established organization, typically with a paid
staff. When people fall away and adopt a new movement, the movement successfully
brings about the change it sought, or when people no longer take the issue seriously,
the movement falls into the decline stage.
Social movements are purposeful, organized groups, either with the goal of
pushing toward change, giving political voice to those without it, or gathering for some
other common purpose. Social movements intersect with environmental changes,
technological innovations, and other external factors to create social change. There
are a myriad of catalysts that create social movements, and the reasons that people
join are as varied as the participants themselves. Sociologists look at both the macroand micro analytical reasons that social movements occur, take root, and ultimately
succeed or fail.

Role of Civil Society towards Philippine Democracy
Civil society in the Philippines cannot put his position on democratization,
though the movement is more courageous. However, the fragmented civil society
because of the differences of different interests. Civil society formed by two streams
democracy, namely the power elite and the political power, has more free space. The
fundamental strength of democracy of civil society in the Philippines discovered by
basic Alliance of workers and peasants.
The community banded together to build their strength. Civil society in the
Philippines can make a transformation of democracy from formal democracy into
substantive democracy, in order to increase transparency in Government. In fact, the
activities of civil society in the Philippines are infected by the pervasive patron-client
system, which they are ostensibly dedicated to subverting.
Even when a new institutional process that would benefit NGOs (such as the
party-list elections) “appears on the horizon, it is distorted by a Congress dominated
by traditional politicians. Democratization, still incomplete, is no such process. Issues
addressed by civil society in the Philippines island reform. There are so many forms
of civil society in the Philippines, i.e. free independent media; community-based social
activism; politically sensitized parts of Catholic Church; alternative politics to Marcos
Party; armed underground. For example, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) was
created in 1985 by more than 1,000 mass organizations. It fights for national and social
liberation against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism.
Bayan fights for the nationalistic and democratic needs of the people through
legal and militant forms of struggle, and, though it does not participate in the armed
struggle. National Secretariat of Social Action-Justice and Peace (NASSA), was
created by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) in 1966. It
focuses on poverty alleviation, democratic governance, ecology and integrity of
creation, peace, and development.

CITIZENSHIP
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
Citizenship is a term denoting membership of a citizen in a political society
which membership implies, equally, a duty of allegiance or loyalty on the part of the
members and duty of protection on the part of the state.
Citizen is a person having the title of citizenship. He is a member of a
democratic community who enjoys full civil and political rights and is accorded
protection inside and outside the territory of the State.
From the point of view of International law, Citizenship do not exactly mean the
same as Nationality. Nationality can only be applied to the country where an
individual has been born. Citizenship is a legal status which means that an individual
has been registered with the government of any given country. Nationality is got
through inheritance from parents. Citizenship is granted when an individual is
accepted into that country's political framework through legal means. No one is able
to change their nationality but one can have different citizenship.
THE 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
ARTICLE IV- CITIZENSHIP
Section 1. The following are citizens of the Philippines:
[1] Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this
Constitution;
[2] Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines;
[3] Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine
citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and
[4] Those who are naturalized in accordance with law.

INTEGRATION AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
“The youth is the hope of our Fatherland”. It is one of the most famous line
uttered by Dr. Jose P. Rizal, our National Hero pertaining to his belief about the youth
and its importance to the country.
Section 13, Article II of the 1987 Constitution provides the constitutional basis
for youth empowerment. This provision acknowledges the crucial part of the youth in
nation building.
As the Philippine government upholds its constitutional mandate, several laws
and programs are implemented to ensure youth empowerment. These includes but
not limited to (1) the establishment of the National Youth Commission (NYC), and (2)
the implementation of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK).
NATIONAL YOUTH COMMISSION
The National Youth Commission (NYC) was established by virtue of Republic
Act No. 8044, otherwise known as the “Youth in Nation Building Act of 1995”. Section
6 of the Act provides that the NYC shall be the policy-making coordinating body of all
youth-related institutions, programs, projects and activities of the government.
Its objective includes to provide the leadership in the formulation of policies and
in the setting of priorities and direction of all youth promotion and development
programs and activities; to encourage wide and active participation of the youth in all
governmental and non-governmental programs, projects and activities affecting them;
to harness and develop the full potential of the youth as partners in nation-building;
and to supplement government appropriations for youth promotion and development
with funds from other sources as stipulated in Section 8.
In 2017 as part of its mandate, the NYC formulated the Philippine Youth
Development Plan for 2017 – 2022. The PYDP 2017-2022 seeks to enable, ensure
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times

and promote the youth’s active, meaningful, and holistic participation in society in the
nine centers which have emerged from national and regional consultations: Health,
Social inclusion & equity, Active citizenship, Education, Peace-building & security,
Environment, Economic empowerment, Governance, Global mobility. It expounds on
these nine centers using the 8Cs of participation: categories, centers, clusters,
conditions, consequences, considerations, contexts, and cues.
By the end of 2022, it envisions Filipino youth are healthy, educated, patriotic,
globally mobile, and active in government and civil society. They live in a peaceful,
secure, and socially-inclusive society where there is respect for and equality across
genders, faiths, and cultures. They engage in gainful economic activity across various
locales and sectors and they have access, use, and transform technology, information,
and services for the betterment of the society.
Youth Development Program under the National Youth Commission
1. National Youth Parliament (NYP)
Under Section 13 of Republic Act No. 8044, convening of youth
parliament should be made upon the call of the NYC thus the conduct of the
National Youth Parliament. The NYP is a 3-day convention of youth leaders
every two years wherein policy recommendations are formulated to address
youth issues. These recommendations may also serve as the government’s
guide in policy formulation and program development.
2. The Ship for Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Program (SSEAYP)
It is a program based on the respective joint statements issued in
January 1974 between the ASEAN Member countries (Republic of Indonesia,
Malaysia. Republic of the Philippines, Republic of Singapore, and Kingdom of
Thailand) and Japan. It aims to promote friendship and mutual understanding
among the youth of Japan and the ten Southeast Asian countries. It also seeks
to broaden the perspective on the world and to strengthen their spirit of
international cooperation and practical skills for international collaboration.
3. Youth Organizations’ Registration Program (YORP)
The NYC as part of its mandate shall register, help and facilitate the
establishment of Youth Organizations and Youth Serving Organizations in order
to foster cooperation among organizations in order to establish up relationship
with the youth and facilitate a more active participation in its programs.
4. Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO)
The Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) is an annual search
conducted to identify and recognize outstanding organizations and its
exemplary programs for the contributions made for the progress of our society.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times

5. Local Youth Development Program
Local Youth Development Program is responsible for the formulation of
policies and implementation of youth development programs at the
city/municipal level in coordination with various government and nongovernmental organizations.
6. Mindanao 2020
"Mindanao 2020" is the new banner Peace and Development Advocacy
Program of the National Youth Commission. It is a comprehensive advocacytraining program on the culture of peace, human rights and the indigenous
peoples. It aims to advance the promotion of peace, racial and cultural
tolerance, respect for the environment, rights of children, youth, women and the
indigenous peoples.
7. Abot-Alam National Program for Out-of-School Youth
Abot-Alam is a program which seeks to help community-based youth
particularly out-of-school youth (OSY) through opportunities for education,
possible career and employment.
8. Straw Desk (Students’ Rights and Welfare Desk)
The STRAW Desk program aims to aid in the policy formulation and
development of the Students’ Rights and Welfare, promote and advocate
STRAW among stakeholders, primarily the students, school administrators and
teachers, and relevant government agencies, and pilot a mechanism for the
processing of complaints pertaining to STRAW concerns and violations.
ISSUES AND CONCERNS
Issues and concerns which serve as the main bases for PYDP 2017-2022 was
based on the National Youth Assessment Study (NYAS) 2015 which provides the
latest data on the youth’s conditions, perceptions, attitudes and behaviors. These
includes issues on Health, Social inclusion & equity, Active citizenship, Education,
Peace-building & security, Environment, Economic empowerment, Governance,
Global mobility. The NYAS2015 offered significant insights about the issues and
concern that Filipino youth encounters however, there remains significant limitations
on its coverage, particularly in terms of active citizenship, environment, global mobility
and security.
SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN (SK)
Through the Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act 7160), young
people are provided with the opportunity to directly participate in local governance
particularly barangay affairs with the creation of Sangguniang Kabataan(SK) and
Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) in each barangay composed of all youth aged 15 to 21Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times
58
year-olds residing for not less than six months and is duly registered in the official list
of sangguniang kabataan. In 1995, with the passage of R.A. 8044, that created the
National Youth Commission, the secretariat functions of SK were transferred to the
NYC which in effect replaced Presidential Council for Youth Affairs (PCYA). In 2002,
the age bracket for KK membership was changed, through R.A. 9164, from 15 to 21
years old to 15 to 17 years old. Due to many challenges and call for abolition, SK
Reform Act of 2015 (R.A. 10742) was passed into law. It aims to reinforce the role of
youth participation in nation-building making them into better citizens with internalized
values of patriotism, nationalism, and honor as a Filipino. The new law renews SK with
various significant reforms such as age scope expansion (must be 15 to 30 years old
to become members of Katipunan ng Kabataan and 18 – 24 years old to qualify for
elective and appointed positions), anti-political dynasty provision (If seeking appointed
or elective positions, candidates must not be related within the second civil degree of
consanguinity or affinity to any incumbent elected national official or to any incumbent
elected regional, provincial, city, municipal, or barangay official, in the locality where
he or she seeks to be elected), (3) financial independence (Ten percent (10%) of the

degradation of soil and siltation that causes the river to become shallow.
3. It would help prevent flashfloods and hazardous flooding in the barangays
situated along Magat River.
4. Planting of trees along the river banks of Magat would help improve the
air quality and reduce pollution.
