On Citizenship

Find out what it means to be a good citizen!

The citizens of the Philippines are defined by

the Constitution. Before defining who the

citizens are, it useful to define constitution

first.
3

What is a constitution?

It refers to that body of rules and maxims in

accordance with which the powers of the sovereign

are habitually exercised.

More specifically THE CONSTITUTION OF THE

PHILIPPINES is defined as that written instrument

by which the fundamental powers of the government

are established, limited and defined, and by

which these powers are distributed among the

several departments or branches for their safe

and useful exercise for the benefit of the people

time of the adoption of this ( the 1987 consti.)

constitution

What are the duties and obligations of Citizens?

To be loyal to the Republic (our country)

To defend the state against any threats whether

from within or from outside

To contribute to the development and welfare of

the state by paying taxes properly, helping

maintain peace and order, conserving the natural

resources and promotion of social justice, by

patronizing local products, etc.

To uphold the constitution and obey the laws

because if people will disregard them, our

country would collapse and we will not have peace

and order

To cooperate with duly constituted authorities

because if we dont, we can never expect

successful undertakings our government would like

to do for the good of the citizens

9

To exercise rights responsibly and with due

regard for the rights of others. If we do this,

we can expect harmonious relationship between

members of society.

To engage in gainful work. Every citizen should

bear in mind that only by hard work can men and

nations live and survive. A nations greatness

springs from citizens patience and industry

10

To register and vote because suffrage (right to

vote and be voted) is both a privilege and duty

which every qualified citizen must perform.

Voting must be done with intellectual judgment by

considering the political issues by political

candidates so that we can choose the right person

to manage the government.

11

How can we become good citizens?

By living in accordance with good citizenship

values enshrined in the preamble of our

constitution such as
faith in God, Unity, Patriotism, Work, Respect

for life, Respect for the law and government,

Truth, Justice, Freedom, Love, Equality, Peace,

Promotion of the common good, Concern for the

Family and future generations, Concern for the

environment, and Order

12

If one is to grow into a citizen who is

maka-Diyos, maka-tao, maka-bayan, and

maka-kalikasan, he needs to form his own values

consistent with the basic Filipino values

it that their customs, traditions, beliefs and

The citizens ( youth, laborers, indigenous

people, among other persons in the society) need

to work hand in hand with the government if the

goal is national progress and development.

We all need to consider our roles as citizens. We

need to pay close attention to being a good

citizen because that is our valuable contribution

to the betterment of this country which redounds

to the benefits to ourselves .
