Introduction:
A bill of rights, sometimes called a declaration of rights or a charter of rights, is a list of the
most important rights to the citizens of a country. The purpose is to protect those rights
against infringement from public officials and private citizens. Bills of rights may be
entrenched or unentrenched.
Article III of the Philippine Constitution is the Bill of Rights. It establishes the relationship
of the individual to the State and defines the rights of the individual by limiting the lawful
powers of the State. It is one of the most important political achievements of the Filipinos.
The concept of a Bill of Rights, as such, is essentially an occidental product. For a number
of centuries in British, French, and American political thought, there has grown the
conviction that the rights of the individual must be preserved and safeguarded, not through
the authority of an individual, not through membership in a particular group or party, not
through reliance upon force of arms, but rather through the accepted processes of declared
constitutional law.

Introduction:
Many of us have a pretty low level of self-awareness. With the busy schedules, it might be
difficult to find time to think about our strength and weaknesses, drives and personalities,
and habits and values. Besides, many of us are not just inclined to spend much time on
self-reflection. Even when feedback about ourselves is presented to us, we are not always
open to it, because honest feedback is not always flattering.
Self-awareness opens doors to spiritual and personal growth. We have all the answers to
the questions about our lives and what we have to do is to learn how we can have an access
to our wisdom.
It begins with self-awareness by paying attention to our many senses, thoughts, feelings,
and intuition. We should be going deep into our emotions to tap its sources. We should see
our thinking and how it creates our reality. Then we can discover our deepest essence.
Increasing our level of self-awareness therefore, empowers us to make different choices.
Not that it will automatically do things differently. After all, some habits can be avoided.
But over time as we build up these levels of catching ourselves doing wrong things, we will
have the choices to alter our behavior, eventually before the next decision making comes.
So, in order to assess what you do, you must first become aware of where you place your
inner intention what you are feeling and thinking about. The more frequently you do this,
the more natural and habitual it will become, and the more you will give yourself the chance
to truly change your behavior.
Discussions:
SELF -AWARENESS
According to Goleman, self-awareness is perhaps the most important emotional
competence, it is the knowing of one’s internal states, preferences, resources and intuitions.
Another psychotherapist put it as “bringing to the conscious mind our understanding of the
compulsion that pushes us around.
Marilyn Vas Savant simply calls it “the art of waking up”. Or realizing what you really are
and why you do the things you do; in the way you do them.
The following, illustrates the continuing search of man for himself: (Palispis) assess how
you picture out yourself in this concern.
Who Am I?
Who am I? Who am I?
My clothes? My look? My mood?
Am I just a thing?
No!
Am I my parents? Brothers? Friends?

Am I they?
I think I am different from them
Just who I am? I am my name?
My face? My bones? My breath?

My feelings? My thoughts? And memory
Each of them is part of me.
But not me.
Who am I really? What is the truth?

10 | P a g e
I’m alive, enthusiastic, free and unique
Above all, like God, I live.
All this I am – my innermost being
Who am I? who am I?
Key areas of Self-awareness

Human beings are complex and diverse. To become self-aware. We should develop an
understanding of ourselves in many areas which includes the following.
1. Personality – an understanding of our personality can help us find situations in which we

will thrive/survive, and help us avoid situations in which we will experience too much stress.
2. Values – values are qualities that we cherish as reference for our actions and behaviors in
particular situations
3. Habits – these are behaviors that we repeat routinely and often do automatically although
we would like to use them to help us interact effectively with and mange others we can
probably identify at least one of our habits that decreases our effectiveness.
4. Needs – (connect Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and other psychologists’ psychological

needs) needs cause motivation, and when needs aren’t satisfied, they can cause frustration,
conflict and stress. One of the advantages of knowing which needs exert the strongest
influence in our own behaviors is the ability to understand how they affect our interpersonal
relationship.
5. Emotions – understanding your own feelings, what cause them, and how they make an
impact to your thoughts and actions are indications of emotional self- awareness.
How self –awareness make an individual more effective?
Self – awareness helps individual identify gaps that promote skills development. Identifying
these gaps, the following can be improved and enhanced.
1. Skills development
2. Knowing one’s strength and weaknesses
3. Developing intuitive decision-making skills
4. Stress management our coping with stress effectively
5. Self-motivation
6. Leadership
Self-check activity: Short Answer

1. Why is it necessary to have self-awareness?
2. Why should the practice of self-awareness be done daily?
3. How can it be a key to become a good citizen?
4. What are the key areas in self-awareness? Explain.

Introduction:
Human values give worthiness and respect to life. The five human values are;
righteousness, peace, love, truth and non-violence. These elevate the individual as well as
the society of which is part.
Human values are the virtues that guide us to take into account the human element when
we interact with other human beings. Human values are, for example, respect, acceptance,
consideration, appreciation, listening, openness, affection, empathy and love towards other
human beings
How does one differ from the other?

THE BASIC VALUES OF THE FILIPINOS BASED ON THE 1987 CONSTITUTION
PREAMBLE
We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God,
In order to build a just and humane society
And establish a Government that shall embody
Our ideals and aspirations
Promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony,
And secure to ourselves and our posterity
The blessing of independence and democracy
Under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice,
Freedom, love, equality and peace,
Do ordain and promulgate this constitution.
13 | P a g e
Meaning of the Preamble
The term preamble is derived from the latin word “preambulare” which means “to walk
before”. It is the prologue of the Constitution. Based from the preamble the following basic
value is derived.
The Maka – Diyos Cluster:

Faith in the Almighty God
The bible says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God
must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrew 11:6)
Respect to life
Cathy Bette says “Life is a raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into
something beautiful, debase it into ugliness. It’s in our hands” hence, treat life with respect,
and life itself will reveal its beauty to you” (Bro. Andrew Maria MMHC)
Order
it is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of
state. As the beams of the house, as the bones of the body, so is order to all things”
(Southey). And what is greatest. “God is not the God of disorder but of peace” (1 Corinthians
14:33)
Work
Confucius says. “Give fish to a man he will have food to eat for a day; teach him how to
fish and he shall have food throughout his lifetime.” And , “if man will not work, he shall
not eat.”
“The family is an essential factor in the general, social and even political life. Constant living
together of husband and wife, and of parents and children, contributes to the development
of a strong sense of duty, of an aptitude of heroic sacrifices, and of the love by future
generations of the traditional and moral conquest of those who proceed them. The family
is an indispensable element of social cohesion and equilibrium” (Tolentino, id., citing Castan
428 – 431)
The Maka – Tao Cluster

love
“when man has love, he is no longer at the mercy of forces greater than himself, so he.
Himself becomes the powerful force” (Leo Buscaglia). Moreover, “love is the will to extend
oneself for the purpose of nurturing one’s own another’s spiritual growth” (M. Scott Peck)
Moral love is a powerful force in nurturing man

Freedom
According to Pope John Paul II. “freedom consist in not doing what we like, but in having
the right to do we ought”.
Peace
It is always great to remember, what the Bible says, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they
will be called children of God” (Mt. 5:9)
An unknown author wrote about value of peace as such:

Juanito is an idealistic person. He wants everybody to be happy and lead meaningful lives.
So, one day, he strides to church and prayed hard for World Peace. He continued praying
for the same intention for a year yet nothing seemed to change.
One day, he decided to narrow down his scope and pray for peace in his own country
instead. He prayed for the same intention for another year yet violence and disturbance
still seemed to be in an upsurge.
Anxious for his prayer to be finally heard he decided to pray for peace for his family instead.
He kept this intention for another year with no significant result.
Finally, on the verge of frustration he decided to pray for inner peace. He prayed for this
intention for the next year. Each time he did so, he felt more at peace with himself and his
14 | P a g e
personal issues, his family, his neighbors until it reached a point in time that Juanito was
considered a man of peace, a friend of everybody especially of the neediest among his
countrymen.
Moral Lesson: let there be peace on earth …and let it begin with me
The UNESCO Constitution also reminds us that, “since wars begin in the minds of men, it is
in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.
Moral Lesson: let the peace of the nation begins in the minds of man
Truth
It is worthwhile to be familiar and understand some of the following famous quotation and
anecdotes which make us better and wiser person.
A. Quotation
“a man who seeks truth and loves it must may be reckoned precious to many human
society” (Frederick the great)
“an honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens”
(Thomas Jefferson)
“no legacy is as rich as honest” (William Shakespeare)
B. Anecdotes (compiled by J. Maurus)

When Mahatma Gandhi appeared for the London Matriculation Examination, the paper in
general knowledge contained the following questions: “what is more golden than gold?”
Justice
According to Martin Luther King Jr. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
To jimmy Carter, the law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive
province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and
law books; but a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.
In Matthew 7:12, it says, “Treat others the way you want to have them treat you”
And by the institute for development education center for research Communication justice
is giving every man his due.
Moral lesson: giving justice to anyone is a fair treatment to everyone
The MAKA – BAYAN Cluster

Unity
the value of unity can be realized by practicing the virtue stated in the following
quotations:
“behold how good and pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity (Psalms
133:1)
“if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided
against itself. That house will not be able to stand” (Mark 3:24 – 25)
“make my joy complete by being of the same kind, maintaining the same love, united in
spirit, intent on one purpose” (Philippians 2:2)
”as a body in one though it has many parts and all the parts of the body, though many, are
one body, so also Christ” (1 Corinthians 12 – 12)
“remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all” (Alexander the great)
Equality
To appreciate the value of equality, consider this anecdote
15 | P a g e
Skulls
Andrew Maria Almonte, MHHC
One day, a group of skulls in a cemetery had a conversation. “Hey, said a skull to another,
“who were you when you were alive? “Yes, I was once a slave, “replied another skull. “He!
he was a tyrant, a ruthless and merciless king!” I am your king remember?” shut up!
“shouted the slave-skull. “You are no longer my king nor am I your slave anymore! We are
the same now rotten skulls!”
Moral: Each man may differ in worldly stature, but each one bears that same
amount of dignity as another and all share one common destiny.
Respect for the Law and Government

When people have much respect for law and the government, the government is
unquestionably stable”. Hence, every citizen must always seek to be contributory for
stability.
The sense of respect for the law and government may be interpreted and in different point
of view, such as;
➢ The law is not meant to curtail freedom; it is meant to ensure that every citizen acts
responsibly while exercising his freedom.
➢ The law and government are not meant to enslave people; they are meant to establish
order in society, and by their duly constituted powers free people from the bondage of
poverty, ignorance, insecurity, violence and disregard.
➢ The law and government should not serve the interest of a few, especially those who are in
positions of power and authority. Rather, the Law and Government must give preferential
option to serve and pursue the interests of the poor and less-fortunate members of society.
Hence, Law and Government should lead all citizens to be charitable to others especially
those in most need of help, support and protection.
➢ The nature of laws is to provide sanctions for the irresponsible practice of freedom. For
every policy, there exist a corresponding implication. Thus the need for punishment/penalty
as a disciplinary measure when a policy/ law is violated, in the final analysis, laws and
government are meant to institute order in society that has a tendency to abuse freedom
and trample on the rights of the weak. Their roles form part of society’s effort to form its
members into responsible, conscientious, dignified and charitable persons.
➢ Love is the perfection of the law. Fear and intimidation should not be our motivations when
we obey the law and respect the mandate of the government as they seek to protect our
rights and dignity’s persons.
➢ Our own respect for law and government should stem from the ultimate law of the heart
that of mutual respect, charity and love for others.
Moral: as a good citizen, one must have respect for law and government, and
always seek to be contributory for the nation’s stability.
Patriotism
The value of patriotism can be expressed in the following manner
I am a Filipino, proud and true. I honor my heritage and take pride in my commitment to
be a good citizen in my daily life. I shall from here on, dedicate myself to perform simple
act of heroism that nevertheless will have positive effects on the lives of my countrymen. I
shall always be mindful of my country’s interest in my dealings; that I may not harm her
by going into unfair or illegal transactions, a citizen upholding her laws, preserving her
dignity and promoting her welfare.
16 | P a g e
Moral: let us value the spirit of patriotism as a means of showing our love for our
country.
Promotion of common Good

Everyone in a group of people shares the same aspiration of having a united community
and hopes to have a common concern for the good of everybody. To support this concept,
one has to be concerned for the welfare of others throughout his life. One must serve the
interest of the common good before himself. He has to be an inspiration for the development
of others. A well genuine concern and love for others makes everyone to live truly for love,
understanding, and unity that ensure progress. Hence, one must be committed to the
preservation and promotion of the common good that will give value to other people’s lives
at all times.
Unity
“Behold how good and pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity (Psalms 133)
In unity there can be stability, thus, much can be achieved
Equality
“all men are created equal, that the creator endowed them inalienable rights”

Concern for the environment
THE GIVING TREE

Fr. Benigno P. Beltran
Once there was a tree… and she loved a little boy. And every day the boy would gather her
leaves, make them into a crown and play king of the forest. The boy would also play hide
and seek, climb her branches and eat her mangoes. At the end of the day when he was
tired the boy would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree…very much… and the
tree was very happy.
But the time went on…and the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone. Then one day
the boy went to the tree who said: “come, boy, come and clean up my trunk, swing from
my branches, eat my mangoes, play in the shade and be happy.”
But the boy stayed away for a long time…then one day the boy came back to the tree who
shook with joy and said: “come boy, come and climb up my trunk, swing from my branches,
eat my mangoes, play in the shade and be happy. “I am too busy to climb trees”. Said the
boy. I want a wife and children and so I need a house. Can you give me a house? “I have
no house, “said the tree. “the forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and
build a house. “and so, the boy cut off her branches and carried them away to build his
house. And the tree was happy.
But the boy stayed away for a long time…then one day the boy came back and the tree was
so happy that she could barely speak. “come boy, “she whispered, “come and play” “I am
too old to play. “said the boy. “I want a boat that will take me far away from here. Can you
give me a boat? “cut down my trunk and make a boat, “said the tree, “then you can sail
away…and be happy”. And so, the boy cut down the trunk and made a boat and sailed
away. And the tree was happy but not really.
And after a time, the boy come back again. “I am sorry, boy. “said the tree. “but I have
nothing left to give you..my mangoes are gone. “my teeth are weak for mangoes” said the
boy.” My branches are gone. “said the tree.” You cannot swing on them. “ I am too old to
swing on branches. “said the boy. “my trunk is gone, “said the tree, “you cannot climb, “I
am too tired to climb. “said the boy. “I am sorry, “sighed the tree. “I wish that I could give
you something…but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry”. “I don’t need
very much now,” “well” said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could, well,
and old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come boy, sit down and rest. “” and the boy
did and tree was happy.
Moral: mother nature is an all-giving mother. While she gives fully, man abuse her
relentlessly, it is time we care for ailing mother nature so that she will regain her beauty
and strength once again, enabling her to share her life and abundance with us.

Introduction:
Leadership is the highest quality of an individual to be greatly successful in life. It is the
key dynamic factor that can encourage one to actively participate in many ventures that
lead to the attainment of goals. It is also the key force to developing teamwork to ensure
completion of common goals or purpose.
It is in this premise that the youth in their role as nation builders must develop leadership
potentials such as knowledge, skills and positive attitude to ensure efficiency and
effectiveness in meeting their goals and develop the spirit and ethics of service for the good
of others. Hence, the need for training the youth to be servant leaders is very essential.
Objectives:
1. Identify the type of leadership skills students possess as a springboard of cultivating
their potentials to become servant leaders.
2. Acquire the desired qualities and characteristics of an effective servant leader
3. Apply servant leadership principles in their daily life; and
4. Internalize the values of servant leadership of the new generation.
Discussions:
Leadership and leadership Type Identification
The following are the different meaning and types of leadership as maybe applied by
individuals.
Leadership is a practice of giving control, guidance, headship, direction and governance to
a group or organization. It is a key dynamic factor that motivates and coordinates
organization to accomplish their objective. Without being inspired by a leader, the whole
organization or a department might drift along with no definite focus on key objectives such
as trying to improve the worker’s safety.
Leadership – is the art of influencing and directing others to do assigned tasks or goals,
in such a way as to attain them. There is obedience, respect, loyalty and cooperation.
Leadership can be exercised by anyone irrespective of the framework of command. Also, it
is the process of guiding and directing the behavior of the people in the work environment.
Leadership – is the ability to inspire, to build confidence and gain support among the
people to attain organizational goals.
Leader – is a guide is one who assumes the role of director, organizer, mentor, guru, or
adviser.
Leader – is a frontrunner is one who spearhead, shading light, a trailblazer, and
groundbreaker.
Leader – is a head is one who can be called as chief, manager, superior, principal, boss
and superior.
Servant leadership is a kind of servant hood and done as a sense of vocation. It also implies
stewardship of good citizenship and community. It is a means of serving others more than
oneself.
April et al., (2000) support the notion of servant leadership in complex organizations, where
a major role of the leader is to synthesize and develop a sense of community in the
organization, with shared power and decision making and group-oriented approaches.
Servant leadership has a long pedigree of religion and involves a sense of servant hood,
with leadership as a state of being (a sense of vocation). It also implies stewardship (a
recognition of shared ownership and interdependence rather than personal ownership of
the organization), one consequence of which is a sense of citizenship and community. The
servant leader facilitates the surfacing of other ideas and networks, and helps to create
their futures.
21 | P a g e
Nature of Leadership
There are certain characteristics found in some people that seem to naturally put them in
a position where they’re looked up as a leader. Whether in fact a person is born a leader or
develops skills and abilities to become a leader is open for debate. There are some clear
leadership characteristics that are found in good personality. How often have you heard the
comment? “he or she is a born leader?”
Leader - Good leaders develop through a never-ending process of self-study education,
training, and experience. Leaders carry out this process by applying the leadership
attributes. Such as beliefs, value, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills.
To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must,
know and do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and
study. Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an
objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.
PRINCIPLES OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP

According to spears (2002) THERE ARE 8 PRINCIPLES ABOUT SERVANT LEADERSHIP.
1. LISTENING – the servant leader seeks to identify the will of the group and helps clarify
that will. He or she will seek to listen receptively to what is being said.
2. EMPATHY – the servant leader strives to understand and empathize with others. People
need to be accepted and recognized for their special unique spirits.
3. HEALING – one of the greatest strengths of a servant leader is the potential of healing
one’s self and others because many people have broken spirits and have suffered from
a variety of emotional hurts.
4. AWARENESS – it aids one in understanding issue involving ethics and values and view
most situations from a more integrated and holistic position.
5. PERSUASION – another characteristic of a servant leader is primary reliance on

persuasion rather than positional authority in making decisions within an organization.
6. CONCEPTUALIZATION – servant leaders seek to nurture their abilities to “dream great

dreams”. The ability to look at problems from a conceptualized perspective means that
one must think beyond today’s realities.
7. FORESIGHT – this enables the servant leader to understand the lessons from the past
realities to the present and the likely consequence of a decision in the future.
8. BUILDING COMMUNITY – servant leadership suggests that the true community can
be created among those who work in business and other institutions.
The law of service: he who wishes to live long must serve, but he who wishes to rule
does not live long Hesse – “Journey to the East”. The new trend now in leadership is
what you call “servant leadership”. this emanated from pious doctrines where Jesus
Christ is the focus subject as the best model of a servant leader who humbled himself to
serve His disciples especially when he performed the “washing of the feet” which
symbolizes humility of Christ.
Servant leadership emphasizes

Collaboration, trust, empathy
And the ethical use of power
At heart, the individual is a servant first,

Making the conscious decision to lead in
order to better serve others, not to
Increase his own power
22 | P a g e
Qualities of a Servant Leader
The following are the qualities of a servant leader
1. Puts others ahead of his own agenda
The first mark of servant hood is the ability to put others ahead of yourself and your
personal desires.
2. Possesses the confidence to serve:

The real heart of servant hood is security. Show me someone who thinks he is too
important to serve and I’ll show you someone who is basically insecure. How we treat
others is really a reflection of how we think of ourselves. Philosophers – poet Eric Hoffler
captured that though.
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves, we do unto others
as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others
when we forgive ourselves. It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of
the troubles that afflict our world.
The law of empowerment says that only secure leaders give power to others. It is also
true that only secure leaders exhibit servant hood.
3. Initiates service to others

It is a way of serving without being compelled. It manifests one’s concern to do things
for others specially during crisis. You can really see the heart of someone who initiates
service to others. Great leaders see the need, seize the opportunity and serve without
expecting anything in return.
4. Is not a position-conscious
Servant leaders don’t focus on rank or position. When Colonel Norman Schwarskopf
stepped into that minefield, rank was the thing on his mind. He was one person trying
to help another. If anything, being the leader give him a greater sense of obligation to
serve.
5. Serves out of love

Servant hood is not motivated by manipulation of self-promotion. It is fueled with love
(willingness to serve). In the end, the extent of your influence depends on the depth of
your concern for others. That is why it is important for leaders to be willing to serve.
To internalize the deeper meaning of servant leadership, one must apply the following
process.
REFLECTING ON IT
As a leader, one must reflect about himself to determine who he is as a person and identify
his inner leadership intention.
Where is your heart when it comes to serving others? Do you desire to become a leader for
the perks and benefits? Or are you motivated by manipulation of self-promotion.
If you really want to become the kind of leader that people want to follow, you will have to
settle the issue of servant hood. If your attitude is to be served rather than to serve, you
may be headed for trouble. If this is an issue in your life, then heed this advice.
➢ Stop lording people, and start listening to them.

➢ Role play for advancement, and start risking your own interests for other’s benefits.
➢ Stop seeking your own way, and start serving others.
➢ It is true that one who would be great must be like the least and servant of all.
BRINGING HOME
To improve your skill in servant hood, you must do the following:
23 | P a g e
➢ Perform small acts. When was the last time you performed acts of kindness to others?
Start with those closest to you: your spouse, children and parents. Find ways today to
do small things that show others you care.
➢ Learn to walk slowly through the crowd. One of the greatest lessons I learned as
a young leader came from my father. I call it walking slowly through the crowd. The
next leagues, or employees, make it your goal to connect with others by circulating
among them and talking to people. Focus on each person you meet; learn his name. if
you know it already, make it your agenda of getting to know each other person’s needs
wants and desires. Then later when you go home, make a note to yourself to do
something beneficial for half a dozen of those people.
➢ Move into action. If an attitude of servant hood is conspicuously absent from your
life, the best way to acquire it is to start serving. Begin serving with your body and
your heart will catch up. Sign up to serve others for six months at your church, a
community agency of a volunteer organization. If your heart changes then it works.
DAILY TAKE – AWAY

Albert Schweitzer wisely stated. “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I
know. The ones among you who will really be happy are those who have sought and found
how to serve.” If you want to lead on the highest level, be willing to serve on the lowest.
In a truest sense, servant hood is the gift of doing good for others which sometimes include
the exclusion of meeting personal needs. Servants look for ways to do for others both within
and beyond the congregation and community. Servants do not choose to serve, but serve
from a sense of identity and call. Gifted servants never feel put upon or taken advantage
of, but see each opportunity to do the others as a way to be true to self and in service to
others. As leaders, the need to reflect on it, bring it home and take it away daily is a great
passion for going along with one’s inner intention for the good of others.
Styles of Leadership
1. Authoritarian Leadership – the leader leads his men by means of his rank position. It
is self-centered type of leadership where he believes he is the only one capable of
directing his subordinates.
2. Paternalistic leadership – the leader leads his men by always setting example. This
type of leader manifests an example of a father, who seems to be always after the
welfare of his children.
3. Participative leadership – the leader makes his men participate actively in the task of
the organization but the leader reserves the right to make final decisions on critical
matters.
4. Lassie-Faire leadership – the leader leaves decision making to his subordinates. He

will give assignments, and it is up for his men to accomplish the task in whatever manner
they can do it.
There are no specific styles of leadership that would guarantee efficiency and effectiveness
of the operation/mission of a certain group or organization. The adoption of a particular
leadership style depends on the nature of the leader, members and work of a certain
organization. Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing direction,
implementation of plans, and motivating people.

26 | P a g e
2. The flag should never be used to return the salute of any individual or
organization. The Flag if flown into a flagpole should have its blue field on top. If in
hanging position, the blue field should be to the right (left of observer) (RA 8491, Sec.
10).
3. In hoisting the Flag it should be raised briskly to the top – of the flagpole which
if planted on the ground should be higher than the roof, and if placed at a compound,
if the pole is attached to the building, it should be on top of its roof and if placed at a
window, it must project to an angle pointing upward.
When the Flag is passing in a parade, the people walking should halt. Uncover, an stand
at attention and salute.
4. The public display of a foreign flag is prohibited except in foreign diplomatic

establishments such as in chanceries, embassies, or consulates, or other places

such foreign flag shall be displayed together with the Philippine flag which shall occupy
the place of honor.
No part of the flag should touch the ground. It should be handled and folded reverently.
5. The flag shall never be used as a staff or whip, or covering for tables, or curtain
for doorways. The flag may be used to cover the casket of an honored dead which
includes deceased civilians who had rendered service in the army, navy, or civil office of
great responsibility.
6. Additional Prohibition
It is prohibited to deface or ridicule the flag, to dip the flag to a salute, or to add additional
marks of any nature on a flag. It is not used as drapery, festoon, table cloth, as covering
objects, or as part of any costume or uniform.
It is prohibited to be used as trademarks of commercial label design, pennant in the

hood, side back and top of motor vehicles.

character or in formal ceremonies of civic in nature. People in the immediate vicinity, of
outdoors, should face the flag, uncover and stand attention.
8. The National Anthem should not be played and sung for mere recreation, amusement
or entertainment purposes, in social gathering purely private in nature or at political
partisan meetings or places of hilarious or vicious amusement. It should however, be
sung in school so the children may know it by heart.
The National Anthem should always by sung in Filipino, whether here or abroad.
9. The Pledge of Allegiance

When taking the pledge in ranks, the members should raise their right hand with an open
palm at the leader’s command and hold this through the entire pledge. When taking it
as an individual he also does the same and holds it through the entire pledge.
10. The international flag code,

The most complete flag signaling system, has more than 40 flags. A flag stands for each
letter of the alphabet, and pennants stand for zero and the numerals 1 through 9. To
send messages sailors fly hoist of one to five flags that have code meanings or spell out
works.
27 | P a g e
Each ship carries a codebook that explains the flags of the international code in nine
languages-English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Russia and
Spanish. With the codebook, any captain can understand messages sent to the ship.
Warships fly by the code and answering pennant when they use the international code,
so other ships will know that they are not using secret code.
Flag ceremony (outdoor)

When the flag of several countries is displayed, they should be flown in several styles of
equal size. The flags should also be about the same size. Almost every country requires
that its flag be given the position of honor among the flags. In most countries, this
position is in the left of observers as they face the main entrance to a building. The
national flag may also be placed in the center of the group of flags, or at each end of a
line of flags. At headquarters of international organizations, such as United Nations, flags
are flown in alphabetical order of their country name in English. From a building, a
national flag should be hoisted, top first, either on an a top or on a rope suspended over
the sidewalk. On a street, a national flag should be suspended vertically with its top to
the north on an East-West Street, or to the east on a North South Street.
Flag Ceremony (indoor)

A national flag should have prominent place on the speaker’s platform, but it should not
be used to decorate the platform. Instead, banner in the nation colors should be used
for decoration. In United States the red, white and blue bunting should be arranged with
the blue at the top. In the Until in some countries, the national flag must be hung freely,
either flat against the wall or from a desired place. When a national flag is displayed flat
on a wall on a speaker’s place, the flag should be at the speaker’s right. Any other flag
should be to the right of the national flag from the standpoint of the observer. If a
national flag is displayed with another flag from crossed staffs against the wall, it should
be on the observer’s left.

HISTORY OF ELECTIONS
A System of election was practiced in the Philippines during the Spanish and American
Colonial period. But the process was only limited to male voters and was more of a
ceremonial rather than a genuine democratic mechanism.
Sectoral struggle and political participation were only realized in 1937: when Act 4112,
granting women the right of suffrage, was implemented; and when the peasant movements
gained meaningful participation in political parties and in actually filling of government
positions.
The first democratic election after WWII was the 1946 election for President and Vice-
President for the Republic, Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives.
From then on, the country operated on a two-party system where two major political
parties, the Nacionalista Party and the Liberal Party, figure in succeeding elections.
When Marcos declared Martial Law in 1972, the 1935 Constitution was scrapped, an Interim
Batasang Pambansa Election for the Interim Batasang Pambansa was created and a new
(1973) Constitution was adopted.
Election for interim was called for in 1978. The Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) became the
administration party. The election was claimed to be towards restoration of old political
31 | P a g e
order but Marcos’ purpose was to gain legitimacy for his unpopular administration and to
create a rubber stamp legislature. The exercise defied democratic procedures, and was
characterized by rampant electoral manipulation done by Marcos government to ensure
victory.
Local election in 1980 was characterized by widespread terrorism, violence and wholesale
fraud.
Intense opposition coming from the peasant and student sectors in the countryside
supported peasant and labor unrest. In 1981, Marcos submitted himself to the electoral
process to regain legitimacy. This is mandated by the constitutional provision of a
parliamentary system.
The Aquino assassination in 1983 resulted in waves of protest forcing the creation of wider
democratic space. Batasang Pambansa. The exercise was intended to divert the people’s
away from Aquino assassination. Still, weakening popularity of Marcos marked the period
and the people’s growing political will to guarantee that their sentiments are reflected in
election results.
Snap elections were held in 1986. The wide spread election manipulations and
irregularities and the worsening social, political and economic order triggered the EDSA
uprising in the same year. The mass action known as the People Power Revolution of 1986
led the ouster of Marcos, the collapse of KBL and installation of Corazon Aquino as the
President.
Aquino’s program of restoring democracy, promoting stability and establishing political

legitimacy involved three major electoral exercises: national plebiscite for the House of
Representatives in May 1987; and local elections in January 1988. The 1987 Constitution
provided for a multi-party system.
During the 1992 synchronized national and local elections, the people voted for president
for the first time under the 1987 Constitution. The main campaign issue was doing away
with “trapo” or traditional politics. In 1995, congressional and local elections were held. A
new form of fraud dubbed as “dagdag-bawas” or the subtraction of votes from one
candidate to be added to the contending candidate was in practice during these two major
elections.
In 1998, the first party-list elections were held. Joseph Estrada was seated as President
of the Republic with popular support. However, in 2001, EDSA DOS, a repeat of the 1986
People Power removed Estrada from Malacanang and seated Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as
the new President.
Time and again, the struggle for our independence and for democratic governance resulted
in a kind of political system, political leaders and electorate that we have right now. Election
has been one major feature and mechanism in practice and through a more informed
electorate it is hoped that it continues to serve as a vehicle towards genuine democratic
governance.
ELECTIONS AND DEMOCRACY

The constitution guarantees that we are a sovereign people, where all government authority
comes from, Sovereignty or the power to govern is exercised directly through suffrage and
indirectly through public officials elected by the people. The will of the people, then, is best
expressed in clean, orderly and honest election.
The representative’s democratic structure in which the people govern through elected
representatives, is based on the idea of “consent of the governed”. Thus, the government
officials chosen and elected by the people become servants and not masters of the people
from whom and for whom these officials exercise their power and authority.
32 | P a g e
The citizen voters are entitled to free and informed choice on whom to vote and must be
dictated by the genuine welfare of the majority. Every individual political choices and
decisions made by the citizen voters will determine the kind government that will serve
them.
Specific Mechanism
Since the enactment of the 1987 Constitution, elections for President and Vice- President is
held every six years while elections for Senators and members of the House of
Representatives and local government officials happen every three years. At the local level,
Barangay elections and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections are held periodically.
ARMM Elections
In 1993 and 1996, elections for the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) were
held. The 1996 ARMM elections also served as pilot-test for automated system of elections.
Aside from voting, our Constitution mandates other mechanism to advance democratization
and citizen’s stake in governance.
Initiative and Referendum

The system of initiative and referendum gives the people power to directly enact, propose
and reject a law at the local level.
Also, through initiative, the people may directly propose amendments to the Constitution
by a petition of at least 12% of the total number of registered voters, in which 3% of
registered voters is represented in each legislative district.
Plebiscite
Through plebiscites, the people approve or reject the call for a constitutional change to
propose changes to the Constitution, approve or reject proposed changes in the Constitution
and, at the local level, express their will or respect certain local issues.
Sectoral Representation
The party-list system of representation allows for marginalized and underrepresented
sectors to be represented in the national legislature. The system serves as an attempt to
depart from the personalistic character of political and electoral system by giving forces on
the party and its issue-based platform.
Local Consultative Bodies

People participation is also provided for by the Local Government Code through
representation in consultative bodies such as the local health boards, local school boards,
local peace and order councils and local development councils in all local levels.
Barangay Assembly
There is also the LGC- mandated Barangay assembly (people’s assembly or meeting of all
over15- year old of the Barangay). The assembly has the power to hear and pass upon the
report of Sanguniang Barangay’s (SB) performance. It can also recommend measures for
legislation by SB.
The Barangay assembly is one manifestation of people’s power and a (truly) direct and
Participatory democratic exercise.
Overseas Absentee Voting

The Latest development in upholding the right of suffrage Is Republic Act 9189, which
provides for a system of absentee voting for qualified Filipinos abroad.
33 | P a g e
Election Process
Modernized Election Process
Republic Act 8436 or the Election Modernization Act legislated in 1997, mandates the use
of automated election system in the country as early the May 1998 elections. This system

Introduction:
Public servant can be described as an individual who works for the state and whose main duty
is associated with the welfare of public and society. The duties include providing service to the
public in the form of protection, administration or maintenance.
Discussions:
Executive:
Exercise powers vested in the President of the Republic. This power covers:
➢ Control of all implementing agencies of the government.
➢ Appointment of high officials in the government (heads of executive
department/cabinet members, ambassadors, public ministers, consuls, officers of the
armed forces);
➢ Seeing to the execution and implementation of laws and policies.
Local government units also exercise executive functions through the governors of
provinces, municipal and city mayors.
Legislative:
Legislative power is lodged in the Congress of the Philippines; the Senate and the House
of Representatives legislative functions include:
➢ Statute making, constitution making, and amending of constitution
➢ Appropriations / financial function:
➢ Informational or the power to conduct inquiries in aid of legislation;
Legislative functions are carried out in the local level by the different “sanggunians” or local
legislative bodies.
In the law-making process, the president either can approve or vote the law passed by
congress. It would require two-thirds vote by the legislative body to finally pass a bill into
law. At the local level, chief executives can veto any ordinance on the ground that it is
prejudicial to the public. In turn, the sanggunian or the local legislative body can override
the veto, also by two-thirds vote by the whole sanggunian.
A 2003 update study on voting behavior looks at how Filipino voters choose their
candidates:
➢ Public Servant Image on the candidate’s characteristics such as medaling lapitan,
malinis na pagkatao, matulungin sa nangangailangan, nagtataguyod ng programang
pangkaunlaran.
➢ Political machinery, which includes the political party, being in the opposition, and good
campaign strategies.
➢ Popularity or being a celebrity or endorsed by a celebrity.
➢ Endorsement of network and organization such as the family, the church, the groups
and group leaders.
The conduct of elections is made complex by the practices and values, which in turn
are reflective of the behavior and attitudes of the electorate and the politicians and of
the actual practices before, during and after elections. Further, voter behavior reflects
the personalistic and patronage orientation of traditional Filipino politics or “trapo”
In preparation for a coming election, people with plans of running for a public office form
barangay (COMMUNITY) to the provincial level, become very busy campaigning. For
constituents at the national level, candidates engage themselves in media exposure.
38 | P a g e
Conversely, voting has always been determined by popularity of the candidate and financial
and party machinery, which enhances the popularity of a candidate. Elections now become
a high spending process to the detriment of the candidates who has neither the financial
resources nor the machinery, which can province for posters and airtime in mass media.
Patronage politics, on the other hand, thrive on a culture, where the government leader
becomes a politician who serves as a patron accommodating special favors to dole out
money or provide jobs, recommendation and contracts to only a few exchanges for votes
in the succeeding elections or support for a political agenda.
A common element of patronage culture is utang na loob. The powers-that-be use this to
ensure that their political and economic interest will be served. For instance, a “powerful”
politician invites a candidate to run under his political party and in return, the candidate will
feel indebted and eventually feel pressured to support the political agenda of his benefactor
(even if he is opposed).
For the poor giving their support to a candidate is seen as an investment so that they can
depend on the politician for help. E.g. donations, food, schooling, medicine. Campaign
supporters, view their help as a personal favor that the elected official should perceive as
utang na loob. In return, they expect the official to accept personal invitations from their
organizations, to comply with personal request for donations, to award them perhaps with
a government position upon electoral victory.
Consequently, the electoral system becomes bereft of real issues affecting the electorate
venues to seriously discuss program of action and performances of candidates become less
relevant in determining who gets elected into office.
The traditional guns, goons and gold element of Filipino continue to be a real phenomenon
in certain districts, provinces, and regions.
Election fraud is sometimes employed in order to win the elections. Instances of cheating
range from the use of flying voters, registration of disqualified voters, vote-buying, ballot
box switching, padding, of votes through dagdag bawas and other forms, tampering
canvass of votes, etc. again these practices become more detrimental to candidates who
have neither the financial nor political machinery to guard the integrity of the votes and
election results. However, the most powerful safeguard against election fraud is the
vigilance of every voter.

Introduction:
Environmental education is a process which is very useful to human beings in order to
manage well their environment and instill the right behavior that serves as key to
sustainable development, it is also an opportunity especially for the youth to participate
actively in making their respective locality become clean and green, and a pleasant place
to live in. through relevant undertakings, the youth become a great force to combat the ill
effects of climate change.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Provide the youth with the basic knowledge on environmental education.
2. Motivate them to be actively involved in combating the ill effects of climate change.
3. Adopt dynamic strategies on environmental education; and
4. Value the importance of environmental education as a way of developing the youth to
be good citizens.
Discussions:
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION – Refers to organized efforts to teach about how natural
environments function and, particularly, how human beings can manage their behavior and
ecosystem in order to live sustainably. The term is often used to imply education within the
school system, from primary to post-secondary. However, it is sometimes used more
broadly to include all efforts to educate the public and other audiences, including print
materials, websites, media campaigns, etc. related disciplines include outdoor education
and experiential education.
Environmental education is a learning process that increases people’s knowledge and

awareness about the environment and associated challenges, develops the necessary skills
and expertise to address the challenges, and fosters attitudes, motivation, and
commitments to make informed decisions and take responsible action (UNESCO, Tbilisi
Declaration, 1978)

Training Program.
IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENT EDUCATION
The following are importance of Environment Education. Each must consider and put action
on it.
➢ All major natural resources in the country are in grave danger of irreparable damage.
➢ A society cannot survive it its natural resources are rendered unfit for use by its people.
➢ The only hope of salvaging this grave situation is making the young aware that they
need to proactively begin to protect the environment they will inherit.
➢ Science and Technology can help in a limited way but cannot deliver it.
➢ The moral and ethical education for changing people’s attitude.
➢ To protect children living in polluted regions, environmental education represents a
relevant means of prevention.
➢ It is a need of the time to propose environmental education delivered with moral
concept.
➢ Sustain participation of the citizens especially the youth particularly in combating ill
effects of climate change.
CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSES AND EFFECTS

Climate change is any change in climate over time whether due to natural processes or as
a result of human activity.
It is a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that

alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is, in addition to natural climate
variability, observed over comparable time periods.
How does it occur?

The fourth assessment report of the intergovernmental panel on climate change in 2007
concludes that climate change is already occurring and that further acceleration will result
to a two degree increase in global temperature and of extreme weather condition.
Climate change is caused by the increasing volume of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the
atmosphere. Greenhouse gases that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, warming the
earth’s surface and contributing to climate change (UNEP 1988). These gases are water
vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ozone, hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorocarbon,
and sulfur hexafluoride. When these gases increase in volume more solar heat will be
trapped resulting to a warmer atmospheric condition. This phenomenon is known as the
“Greenhouse effect”. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the
Earth’s near-surface air and oceans that is associated with the increased concentration of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Man is responsible for the accelerated warming of the Earth. Before the advent of man,
climate changes were naturally caused. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally like
53 | P a g e
methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ozone and even water vapor. Other greenhouse
gases like and hold greater heat are man-made. These are produced through industrial
processes. However, human activities also add to the increase of the naturally occurring
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The burning of wood and wood products, and the
production and use of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas release carbon dioxide,
methane and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. The rapid growth of human population
increases consumption of earth’s resources, threatening the earth’s carrying capacity to
support life. It also increases the amount of decomposing organic wastes that releases
carbon and methane into the air. Massive deforestation, mining and other forms of land
conversion make the situation worse.
What are the effects of Climate Change or Global Warming?

The warming of the Earth’s atmosphere results to the melting of snow covers and glaciers,
the rise of sea level, shorter winters, early springs, hotter summers and delayed coming of
autumns, altered forest productivity and composition, habitat shifts of some animals,
changes in the behavior patterns of flora and fauna, spread of diseases, stronger and more
frequent typhoons, more floods, severe droughts, stronger heat waves and heavier rains
and more.
These changes in the environment as a result of Climate Change have already made their
impact on human population in a global scale. Socio-economic problems and difficulties will
be amplified compounding the already heavy burden of the poor sectors. Agriculture
become less or non-productive due to droughts and flooding. Mounting social pressure on
the damaging effects of Climate Change will influence political priorities ad direction.
The Philippines is ranked 4th in the Global Climate Risk Index. Being archipelagic, fifteen
(15) of its regions are vulnerable to sea level rise. A meter rise in sea level will affect 64
out of 81 provinces in the Philippines sea water would cover at least 703 of 1,610 towns
and close to 700 million square meters of land could displace at least 1.5 million Filipinos.
The country is in the path of typhoons which in recent years have become stronger and
more destructive and frequent. The Philippines is also located in an earthquake prone
region. Under these circumstances, life, properties, food, health and livelihood are
threatened severely affecting the most vulnerable sector of Philippines society the poor.
What can be done locally?

The following can be done:
1. Reduce the sources of greenhouse gas emissions or enhance their sink or capture
(mitigation). What activities in your locality release carbon dioxide and similar
greenhouse gases in the air? These activities must be curtailed in what concrete way
we can help capture carbon dioxide in the air?
2. Moderate the harmful effects of climate change and exploit its beneficial opportunities
(adaptation). What activities or projects are being done in your communities to lessen
the harmful effects of global warming or offset its potentials damages? What
opportunities associated with global warming did you take advantage of?
3. Support or join awareness raising of people in your locality/community about climate
change. While it is a very important and urgent concern to this generation, it is however,
a relatively new issue that needs to be disseminated and linked to potential hazard and
risk. It is important to discuss this subject ia a dialect local people can understand and
learn. Learning is gleamed in the changes in local practices and behavior; what practices
and behavior of people in your locality need be changed?
4. Carry out concrete disaster prevention, mitigation and management activities (capacity
building). If your community is high risk to flooding stormy conditions, earthquakes of
landslides, training the local people in damage/need assessment, shelter management,
first aid, risk mapping, fire prevention, tree planting and early warning among other
things should be done. You reduce the level of risk if you develop in individuals and
groups these skills and install infrastructures within the community for this purpose.
Equally important in this task is good organizing of community stakeholders for
coordination.
5. Suggest or advocate the integration of climate change mitigation and adaptation into
organizational/institutional plans to mainstream this consciousness. Are your campus
54 | P a g e
clubs aware of the global warming issue? Have the included activities to address this
concern in their respective action plans?
6. Lobby for and/or climate change responsive policies and ordinances (policy
development). Is your Barangay one of those who have ordinances that are proactive
in favor of reducing the risk of climate change and strengthening the coping capacity of
the community residents?
7. Synergize efforts with other enlightened individual or group stakeholders. Risk
reduction, development planning and humanitarian action: need to come together. Do
you have local initiatives where individuals and groups unite to combine efforts to reduce
local vulnerability and risks? Do you observe movements to synchronize local activities
with that of the region and the nation’s?
8. Develop a stable resource mobilization mechanism of system to ensure and facilitate
the flow of financial and technical support to local implementers. Without an adequate
and sustainable financial backing, plans will remain good only in writing.
ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT

Is an ecological method of handling waste that does not degrade the environment nor
pollute air, water, soil and facilitate their sanitary retrieval reuse or recycling?
Zero waste management is one of the most friendly, economical tools of contributing
ecological welfare for human beings and the community.
Modern waste reduction consists of three components

1. Reuse – means re-utilization of materials for particular purpose
2. Reduce – is the process of lessening the fresh raw materials that affects air, water, and
land pollution through proper waste disposal.
3. Recycling – involves processing used, unwanted materials (waste) into new products to
prevent waste of potentially useful materials.
Reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from
landfilling) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse
gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key component of modern
waste reduction and is the third component of the “reduce, reuse, recycle” waste hierarchy.
IMPORTANCE:
➢ Does not pollute air, water and soil.
➢ Facilitates sanitary retrieval, reuse or recycling
➢ Contributes reduction of waste
➢ Economic source of funds through total utilization of feeds, fuel materials and fertilizers
➢ Helps sustain good and friendly environment.

Introduction:
Security is a national concern that every Filipino most consider to ensure peaceful existence
of the state. It shall be the state’s primordial concern as well as to secure its constituents.
The CONCEPT OF SECURITY is based on the following ideas, national security can be
understood, according to Leozek Busgynski, ASEAN IV National Security in the part-cold
war era, the absence of threat to territorial integrity, entails the maintenance of a
harmonious relationship between its political systems and values the external environment.
It is a condition or state of being where the Filipino people’s values, way of life, institutions,
welfare and well-being sovereignty and strategic locations are protected and enhanced.
Discussions:
HISTORY
Commonwealth Act no. 1 also known as the National Defense Act, is the original policy basis
of the national security program of the Republic of the Philippines.
The 1987 constitution mandates civilian control of the military and establishes the president
as commander in chief of the armed forces. The President also heads the National Security
Council, ostensibly the policy-making and advisory body for matters connected with national
defense. Former President Corazon Aquino reestablished the council in 1986 through an
executive order that provided for a National Security Council director to advise the President
on national security matters and for a national security council secretariat. The council itself
is composed of the president and at least nine others; the vice president; the AFP chief of
staff; national security council director; the executive secretary; and the secretaries of
foreign affairs, national defense, interior and local Government. justice and labor and
employment. By the end of 1990 however, the national security council had only convened
twice.
Responsibility for national security was vested in the Department of National Defense. The
principal functions of the Department in 1991 were to defend the state against internal and
external threats and, through the Philippine National Police, to maintain law and order. The
secretary of National Defense, by law a civilian, was charged with advising the president on
defense matters and developing defense policy.
In 2002, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has won crucial backing from her
cabinet and the Congress for the deployment of US soldiers in the country as part of the
war on terrorism. The president convened a meeting of the country’s National Security
Council during that time, in a bid to pull wavering officials, including her vice-president into
line and smooth over differences in her administration over the issue. Arroyo insisted her
oppositions to marshal support for her stance to back a US-led campaign against terrorism,
not only to implement a unanimous UN Security Council resolution calling on UN members
to bring the perpetrators to justice but also the Philippine’s strategic alliance with the United
States and to assist the global campaign to end the scourge of terrorism.
National Security Advisor (NSA) and Director-General serve as chief of staff and adviser for
special Concerns to National Security to the President. The NSA has a cabinet rank in the
Government.
FUNCTIONS
The NSC’s function is to advise the President with respect to the integration of domestic,
foreign, and military policies relating to the National Security. The NSC also serves as the
President’s principal arm for coordinating these policies among various government
departments and agencies in matters involving the national security.

TYPES OF THREATS
1. Rebellion of Insurrection – is a refusal of obedience or order, it may therefore, be seen as
encompassing a range of behaviors from civil disobedience and mass nonviolent resistance,
to violent and organized attempts to destroy an established authority such as the
government.
2. Terrorism – RA. 11479 (Anti-Terrorism ACT OF 2020) is the systematic use of terror
especially as a means of coercion. At present, the international community has been unable
to formulate a universally agreed, legally binding criminal law definition of terrorism.
Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create
fear ((terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard
the safety of non-combatants (civilians).
3. Murder – as defined in most countries, is the unlawful killing of another human being with
intent (or malice aforethought), and generally this state of mind distinguishes murder from
other forms of homicide.
4. Kidnapping and Serious illegal detention – is the taking away or transportation of a person
against the person’s will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement
without legal authority. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or
in connection with a child custody dispute.
5. Hijacking/Highway Robbery – is the crime of taking or attempting to take something of
value by force or threat and or by putting the victim in fear. In common law, robbery is
depriving some person of that property, be means of force or fear. Precise definition of the
offense may vary between jurisdiction. Robbery differs from simple theft in its use of
violence and intimidation.
6. Crimes involving destruction – it may apply either as a measurable degree of damage up
to and including a state beyond use or repair, or it may indicate a state wherein such
damage is occurring and continuing. Something being destroyed is in a state of destruction
e.g. self- destructive behaviors, suicide, demolition.
These types of security threats could be minimized by having proper citizen’s values,
commitment to support and act positively on issues related to national security and concern
for a friendly and peaceful environment.

Introduction:
Drug addiction program for the youth is a significant undertaking in order to free them from
danger and keep them away from drugs. The youth of today are the most vulnerable group
that can be affected by prohibited drugs that are commonly abused.
According to General Edgar C. Galvante. Ret. Executive Director Dangerous Drugs Board,
must drug users start their habit early, usually during their teenage years. They are
particularly susceptible to the drug experience because adolescence is the period of
experimentation, exploration, curiosity, and search for identity. It is believed that young
people with problematic backgrounds are more vulnerable and are more likely to continue
abusing drugs, once they have started, and to develop other aggravating problems, if not
processed. These young people in difficult circumstances are associated with poverty, family
disintegration, relocation, discrimination, and lack of suitable alternative activities.
Drug abuse prevention, done through problem awareness, education and strategy
implementation, is very vital to the success in controlling and stopping drug abuse. Positive
behavior, including the constructive handling of feelings and responsibilities, should be
installed and encouraged in our own families during the early life of young family members
and carried on up to the later stage of life. These should be nurtured by a caring and
understanding community.
Everyone should be vigilant and be responsible for alerting our family especially the youth,
our school officials and community members on the telltale signs of drug abuse so that the
problem can be addressed before it gets worse.
RA 9165
What is RA 9165 – It concretizes governments intensive and unrelenting campaign against

the trafficking and use of dangerous drugs, and other similar substances through an
integrated system of planning implementations and enforcement of anti-drug abuse
policies, programs, and projects. “RA 9165 is an act instituting the Comprehensive
Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 repealing RA 6425, known as the Dangerous Drugs Act of
1972.
➢ PD 1619 “Volatile Solvents”

➢ RA 9165 Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 – it also serves as the bible in the
implementation of dangerous drug prevention and control in the country. It guides everyone
in the right approach towards issues geared against drug activities.
The following poem has been in circulation for a few years now. It’s source is uncertain;
some claim it was written by a woman while in prison on Meth charges, others claim that a
former female inmate left is in a dresser drawer for loved ones to find after she died of an
overdose. While the origins of the piece are unknown, it is clear that the author knew
firsthand the devastation of an addiction to Meth.

My Name is Crystal Meth
(anonymous)
Hello, my friend
I destroy homes, I tear families apart
I take children and that’s just a start
I’m more valued that diamonds, precious than gold
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold
If you need me remember, I’m easily found

I live all around you, in school and in town
I live with the rich, I live with the poor
I live just down the street, and may be next door
I’m made in a lab, but not like you think
I can be made under the kitchen sink
Or in your closet, even out in the woods
If this scares you to death, it certainly should
I have many names, but there’s one you’ll know best

I’m sure you have heard of me
My name is Crystal Meth.
My power is awesome, try me you’ll see

But if you do, you may never break free
Just try me once, I might let you go
Try me twice and I’ll own your soul
When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie?
You’ll do what you have to, just to get high
The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotics charms

Will be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in my arms
You’ll lie to your mother, you’ll steal from dad
When you see their tear, you must net feel sad
Just forget your morals, and how you were raised
I’ll be your conscience; I’ll teach you my ways
I’ll take kids from parents, take parents from kids

I turn people from God, I separate friends
I’ll take everything from you even you good looks and pride
I’ll be with you always, right by your side
You’ll give up everything, your family, your home
Your money, your friends you’ll be all alone
I’ll take and I’ll take till you’ve no more to give

When I’m finish with you, you’ll be lucky to live
If you try, be warned THIS IS NOT A GAME
If I’m given the chance, I’ll drive you insane
I’ll ravage your body, I’ll control your mind
I’ll own you completely, your soul will be MINE
The nightmares I’ll give you, when you’re lying in bed

And the voices you hear from inside you head
The shakes, the sweats, and the visions you’ll see
I want you to know, these are your gifts from me
By then, it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart
That you are now mine, and we shall not part
You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do

But you came to me, not I to you
You know this would happen, how many times were you told?
60 | P a g e
But you challenged my power, you chose to be bold you have said “no” and just walked
away
If you could live over, now what would you say?
My power is awesome, as I told you before
I can take your mother and turn her into a whore
I’ll be your master; you’ll do as I say

Even when I tell you to go to your grave
Now that you’ve met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you
I can show you more misery than words can tell
Come, take my hand, lead me to HELL.

“THE GLOBAL DRUG SCENE”

THE DANGEROUS DRUG ABUSE
THE PHILIPPINE DRUG ABUSE SITUATION:
All of us are very much aware of the nature of the drug problem. It has been condemned
by governments all over the world and billions in resources have been spent to contain it,
yet drug trafficking and/or drug abuse is still here.
In fact, it is today’s most profitable underground business which has spawned, yet
considered as another crime and source of money laundering on a global scale. The Vienna
– based international Narcotics Control Board (INCB) points out that “No country, rich or
poor, large or small, equipped with sophisticated machinery to fight money-laundering or
not, can consider itself safe from money-laundering activities.
The Philippine situation is not any different from any other countries of the world that are
affected by drug problem and is in fact following the trends in other countries. In 1978,
there were only about 20,000 drug users in the country almost all of them concentrated in
Metro-Manila. Today, the Dangerous Drug Board (DDB) estimates that approximately 6.7M
drug users.
Three (3) major drug abused drugs dominate the drug scene in the country. The first is
methamphetamine hydrochloride commonly known as “SHABU”, which is the main drug
used by drug abusers. The second is marijuana. According to some sources, the Philippine
has become the world’s biggest source of marijuana after Mexico, producing about 1.4
billion worth each year. The third is methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy,
which is now sweeping the elite market.
METHAMPHETAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE (SHABU)

Methamphetamine is the most popular abused drug in the country today. In the 1990’s
stimulant abuse emerged in many ASEAN countries. This major change in the pattern of
substance abuse can perhaps be considered as the first stimulant epidemic of the region.
The Philippines is probably the first ASEAN country that faced severe stimulant abuse. The
abuse of methamphetamine was noted in 1986 among the affluent, entertainment and artist
population. The status of methamphetamine or “shabu” abuse at that time seemed well
confined. However, in 1987, the abuse spread to the general population.
Today, Methamphetamine is available in varying degrees throughput the country. This

widespread availability is illustrated by increasing methamphetamine seizures, arrests, and
cases filed in court. Over a six-year period, the increase is almost 50. In 1996, a total of
18,904 arrests were made; in 2001, the number increased to 32,227. In 1996, some 792
kgs. Of shabu was seized; in 2001, the total seizure was some 1,561 kgs.
Of all the regions in the country, methamphetamine is more widely available throughout
Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, CAR, ARMM, and the NCR.
62 | P a g e
DRUG TRAFFICKING
Methamphetamine Hydrochloride continues to be smuggled into the country through four
major avenues: the seaports and special economic zones: the international airports: the
mail and parcels service and the vast expense of Philippine coastline.
The use of the seaports was exemplified by the seizure of 158 kgs. Of shabu stashed inside
two (2) container vans at the Manila International Container Port in two different occasions
in 1999.
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport continues to be the preferred trafficking avenue for
small quantities from less than one kilo to multi-kilo shipments by traffickers using false
compartment luggage or through body packing. The gravity of the problem can be gleamed
from the seizures of 116.88 million pesos worth of drugs by the NAIA. Drug interdiction
task Group in 2001. It was in Sept. 11 and 14, 2004 respectively, when two Taiwanese
nationals were intercepted carrying five (5) kgs. Of shabu each on board, a flight originating
from Xiamen, China.
The mail and parcel system is preferred in foreign destinations that have large Filipino
communities like Guam, US, Australia, England and Middle East. A case in point was the
seizure of 39.8 kilos of shabu from a FEDEX shipment from Hongkong on September 11,
2001 by the Bureau of Customs. The vast and relatively unpatrolled shoreline of the country
is where most of the huge shipments are smuggled. Drug shipments intercepted by law
enforcement authorities include the 420 kilograms haul in Pangasinan in 1999, the 365
kilograms in Sariaya, Quezon, 125 kilograms in Ilocos Sur, and 33 kilograms in Zambales,
all in 2000. For the year 2001, 503 kilograms of shabu were intercepted in Real, Quezon
on 13 October 2001, allegedly from the shoreline of Panukulan, Quezon and said illegal
drugs was personally escorted by the Mayor of said town. The latest was the seizure of 350
kilograms of shabu in San Narciso, Zambales in November 2001.
ROUTES OF DRUG LANDINGS

A huge portion of shabu that enters the Philippines comes directly from Southern China
where most of the shabu laboratories are located. Of the 15 major interdictions since 1993.
(7) were shipped directly from Southern China. Five (5) shipments were from South China
but they passed through Hongkong first before they were rerouted to the Philippines. At
least one shipment passed through Taiwan. Lately, we learned that the shipments at
Quezon and Zambales came directly from South Korea.
Identified landing points are mainly through the shorelines of the Northern and Central
Luzon regions and Southern Tagalog, specifically Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan,
Zambales, Aurora, Quezon, and Mindoro Provinces. Reports also indicate Palawan and
Masbate as probable sites for shabu smuggling.
INVOLVEMENT OF FOREIGN NATIONALS IN ELICITING DRUG TRAFFICKING

The involvement of foreign nationals is very apparent in almost all the big volume of
seizures of government law enforcement authorities. Data from the Philippines Drug in 1993
to December 31, 2001, reflected 258 foreign nationals arrested in the Philippines for
violation of RA 6425 Dangerous Drug Act of 1972, as amended. Of this total, 182 of 70.54
are Chinese nationals while other nationalities make up the remaining 76 or 29.463. More
importantly, the volume of shabu, seized from foreign nationals over the same period
totaled 2,889 kgs. Or 64.24 of the total volume of shabu seized in the country in over the
same period Chinese nationals on the other hand, accounted for 2,873 kgs. For the period
January 1 1998 to December 31, 2001 or 63,888 of the aggregate national’s seizures of
shabu.
The local drug scene has recently gained a new dimension. Today supply comes not only
from importation but also from local manufacturing. Since 1997, there have nine discoveries
of clandestine laboratories made and the most significant of which was the discovery of the
clandestine laboratory in San Juan. All along, clad labs, were thought of as makeshift and
unsophisticated, until San Juan. On July 18, 2002, another clandestine laboratory was
dismantled at Loyola, Quezon City by members of the Metro Manila Drug Enforcement
63 | P a g e
Group. Seven (7) Chinese nationals were arrested and 44, 540 kgs. Of shabu, 50.67 kgs of
ephedrine and shabu laboratory equipment and paraphernalia were seized, just recently,
another clandestine laboratory was dismantled in Executive Heights Subdivision, Paranaque
City in November 1, 2002.
METHYLENEDIOXYMETHAMPHETAMINE (MDMA) OR ECSTACY

Ecstasy is fast making its presence felt in the country. There is an increase in reports about
the use of “ecstasy” among young people, particularly in nightclubs. Ecstasy, or MDMA, is
a synthetic drug that act simultaneously as a stimulant and a hallucinogen. It is strongly
linked to music dance culture and has growing user base among the elites (class A and B).
While some users confine their consumption to occasional use or social, music, and dance
events, others develop regular use profiles, while the third group uses both frequently and
intensively.
There are reports starting that ecstasy is shipped directly from Amsterdam and other
countries in Europe. There are close to a thousand varieties of ecstasy tablets and capsules
and among them, which are now available in Metro Manila, are orange Grin Hornets,
Aigners, Achtung, and Mitsubishi. Studies abroad reveal that the damage caused by ecstasy
to one’s health is irreversible.
MARIJUANA
Marijuana abounds in the Philippines but since the early nineties, It has seized to be the
drug of choice. Most of what is produced locally is intended for markets. In East Asia, the
Pacific, Australia, Europe, and the US, the UNDCP has identified the Philippines as a major
marijuana producer and exporter.
The Cordillera Autonomous Region is the highest producer of cannabis or marijuana in the
country as evidenced by the number of plants and seed confiscated within a ten-year period
from 1992 to 2001, with a total of 112,467,372 plants a seed seized.
In 1972, there were only nine (9) identified sites engaged in marijuana cultivation. Today
the number of marijuanas producing Barangays has ballooned to nine-eight (98) located in
nine different regions in the country. Marijuana producing areas in Northern Luzon are
located in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Region 2. In the visayas, the
cultivation sites are found in region 7 while marijuana plantation can also be found in
Regions 10, 11, 12, 13 and ARMM in Mindanao.
Organized groups:
As a result of Intelligence Workshop conducted by PDEA, eleven (11) Transnational Drug
Syndicates were identified to be operating in the country while, the number of local
organized drug groups is pegged at 215 NCR and region 3 have the highest number of drug
groups with 30 groups each, followed by region 7 with 27 groups and region 9 with 22
groups. The regions with the lowest number of drug groups are cordillera Administrative
Region and CARAGA Region with one (1) drug group each.
Personalities in the BADAC Watch List

As of September, the nationwide total number of drug personalities perfected in the
Barangay Drug Abuse Council (BADAC) Watch list is pegged at 37,076. Among the regions,
NCR has the highest number of identified drug personalities with 10,879 or 29,348 of the
total number of drug personalities nationwide followed by PRO 4 with 7,958 or 21,468 and
PRO 3 with 6,443 or 17,378.
Drug Rehabilitation
The number of drug patients is increasing. Based on the records of Government Residential
Centers Admission, from 1,446 in 1874, the number reached 5,945 in 2001.
Statistics from rehabilitation centers show the following data:

➢ Majority of patients are in the 15 – 29 age group.
➢ The mean age of drug user is 27 years old.
➢ Shabu/ or marijuana are their drug of choice.
64 | P a g e
➢ The ratio of male users to female is 14 to 1.
➢ Workers comprised 43.718% of the drug patient’s population.
➢ Unemployed comprised 35.838%.
➢ Students comprised 5.138%
➢ Out of school youth comprised 1.183%
Drug affected Barangays

Records show that the number of drug affected Barangays as of September this year
represents 8,577 of the country’s 42,061 Barangays. Comparing all the regions, region 4
has the highest number of drug affected Barangays with 1,026 of its 5,463 Barangays,
followed by region 3 with 492 of its 3,175 Barangays, and region 7 with 279 of its 3,003
Barangays, while region 12 has the lowest with 32 f its 1,192 Barangays.
ASSESSMENT:
The emergence of East and Southeast Asia as the fastest growing region in terms of
manufacture, trafficking and consumption of amphetamine type stimulants seriously affects
the Philippines. Being a major ATS consuming country, it is therefore important to maintain
close cooperation with the countries in the region in the common fight against illegal drugs.
The discovery and dismantling of clandestine laboratories in the country indicates a major
shift in strategy to manufacture shabu in the country as opposed to the traditional trafficking
of shabu in its processed form. Control of precursors and essential chemicals and the
prevention of diversion to illegal use therefore more urgent than before.
Marijuana cultivation expanded despite the decline in preference of Filipino drug abusers
due to increase in trafficking to other boundaries like Japan, Australia, and other countries
in Europe. While it may not affect Filipinos directly resulting stigma as a source country for
the drug is equally damaging to the standing of the country in the international community.
