I. Most Essential Learning Competency
Explain the importance of active citizenship
II. Overview
According to publication “Children as Active Citizens” by the Inter-Agency Working

Group on Children’s Participation, “Citizenship” can be defined as the set of rights and
responsibilities that define the members of a community. Citizenship has two
complementary aspects; citizenship rights and citizenship practice or “active citizenship.
While the first category includes individual freedoms, political, civil, social and economic
right, the second one includes practices which enable people to exercise their rights as
citizens.
What does the Philippine constitution talks about citizenship?
The Philippine Nationality Law is based upon the principles of jus sanguinis
(Latin for right of blood) and therefore descent from a parent who is a citizen or national
of the Republic of the Philippines is the primary method of acquiring Philippine
citizenship. This is contrasted with the legal principle of jus soli where being born on the
soil of the country, even to foreign parents, grants one citizenship. For those in the
Philippines to non-Filipino parents, the Administrative Naturalization Law of 2000 (R.A.
9139) provides a path for administrative naturalization for those who qualify.
There are different laws in every country about the responsibilities and
obligations of their people as citizen of the country. The Article V of 1973 Constitution of
the Republic of the Philippines talks about the duties and obligations of the Filipino
citizen. These are the following:
Section 1. It shall be the duty of the citizen to be loyal to the Republic and to
honor the Philippine flag, to defend the State and contribute to its development and
welfare, to uphold the Constitution and obey the laws, and to cooperate with the duly
constituted authorities in the attainment and preservation of a just and orderly society.
Section 2. The rights of the individual impose upon him the correlative duty to
exercise them responsibly and with due regard for the rights of others.
Section 3. It shall be the duty of every citizen to engage in gainful work to assure
himself and his family a life worthy of human dignity.

Section 4. It shall be the obligation of every citizen qualified to vote to register
and cast his vote.
What do you think are the obligations and importance of being an active citizen
of the community as well as of the country?
(a) Active citizenship means citizens taking opportunities to become actively
involved in defining and tackling the problems of their communities and improving their
quality of life.
(b) Active citizenship should be seen as the result of interrelated behavioral
attitudes and values such as the recognition of the importance of universal human
rights, respect for the rule of law and intercultural harmony.
