BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Community action is any activity that increases the understanding,
engagement, and empowerment of communities in the design and delivery of local
services. It is about putting communities at the heart of their own local services
which involves helping the community to share, knowledge, skills and ideas.
Community action involves the different core values and principles which include
human rights, social equality, gender equality, and participatory development.

Human rights are universal and inalienable in nature, which means all
people around the globe are entitled to these rights. According to Nickel (1992),
“they exist and are available standards of justification and criticism whether or not
they are recognized or implemented by the legal system or officials of a country.”
Hence, these aim to identify the basis for determining the shape, content, and
scope of fundamental public norms. For example, human rights involve the three
basic rights- right to life, right to liberty, and right to property. Right to Life is a
moral principle based on the belief that a human being has the right to live and in
a particular should not be killed by another human being. Example Abortion, every
babies deserved to live they have also a heartbeat. Right to Liberty is the right of all
persons to freedom of their person - freedom of movement and freedom from
arbitrary detentions of others. Liberty may be deprived in terms of administrative
authorities wherein it is necessary as in the case of mentally disturbed persons.
During state of emergency or of disarray, right to liberty may legally be limited
while intending to preserve life. And lastly Right to property or right to own
property is often classified as a human right for natural persons regarding their
possessions. A general recognition of a right to private property is found more
rarely and is typically heavily constrained insofar as property is owned by legal
persons and where it is used for production rather than consumption. Example
slavery and the exploitation of others.

 Another principle of action involves social equity. Social equity is defined as
the equality and fairness in terms of the treatment of human beings, access to
resources, and life chances. According to Global Issues Pilot Team (2011), social
justice is “a societal value which guides human interaction and in particular, the
fair distribution of society’s benefits, advantages, and assets, not just by law and
in the courts by all aspects of society.” This involves the fairness in distributing
financial aids to the needy and impoverished.

Next is gender equality. Gender equality, also known as sexual equity, is the
state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender. It
also includes the state of valuing different behaviors, and aspirations. Example of
this is the existence of gendered comfort room.

Participatory development is also included in the principles of action. As to

the definition of Tekman et al. 2012, participatory development elicits the
involvement of local population in creating policies and in planning, implementing,
monitoring, and evaluating development programs and projects that are designed
to empower and help people make effective choices. One concrete example of
participatory development is the attendance and participation of the community
during meetings and assemblies.

To sum up, community action initiatives must be guided by principles and

core values of social justice, human rights, gender equality, and participatory
development. These community actions have a purpose, which is to enable people
to work in solidarity in addressing social problems. However, it is important to
involve the Filipino youth in addressing these issues so that their communities
may benefit from their contributions, ideas, and energies. By the participation of
the youth it can help organize, identify and remove practices that hinder the them
to participate in community development initiative.Doing so will allow the
transition from non participatory practices toward a more meaningful and higher
level of youth participation.
