For LO3 1. What are the common challenges that student-citizens face in practicing good citizenship? - A lack of interest or lack of involvement with matters affecting their community. - Having trouble influencing others by negotiating complex social or political structures. - Fear of criticism or reaction from peers or superiors for raising controversial concerns. 2. How does lack of awareness about rights and responsibilities affect student citizenship? - It can result in danger towards oneself, and to other citizens that are students as well. It can make oneself prone to being used, as one does not know their own rights. Not only that, we can also violate others’ rights, because of the fact that we are unaware of this kind of thing. 3. What role do values such as respect and responsibility play in the lives of student-citizens? - Values like respect and responsibility are foundational for student -citizens to become engaged and productive members of society. Respect, whether for teachers, peers, or community members, fosters harmonious relationships and creates a positive learning environment (Gilligan, 1982). Responsibility, on the other hand, empowers students to take ownership of their actions and contribute meaningfully to their community (Noddings, 2002). These values are interconnected, with respect encouraging responsible behavior and responsibility reinforcing respect for others. By cultivating respect and responsibility, student-citizens develop a strong moral compass, empathy, and a sense of civic duty, preparing them to be active participants in democratic processes and con tribute to a just and equitable society (Dewey, 1916). 4. How can schools help students understand and exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens? - Helping students fully understand and exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens is crucial, as these lessons will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Schools can play a significant role by educating students about the importance of their rights and responsibilities. By teaching them the basics, students' knowledge of the subject will deepen and develop. It is also important for students to learn the history behind these rights and responsibilities, as this understanding will help them r ealize that these are significant parts of our lives that have been fought for over decades. This knowledge empowers students to express themselves freely and understand their worth as individuals. 5. What issues might arise from students not fulfilling their responsibilities as citizens? - A common issue that may arise is the detachment from our one’s community. It refers to how a student can be indifferent to other citizens and as a result, the values are often ignored and a yearning towards other countries emerges. As more students from th e community follow this behaviour, disengagement towards the community, and values being forgotten may sooner or later become a trend. 6. How can student-citizens balance their rights with the responsibility to respect others' rights? - 6.1 Understanding Rights and Responsibilities. Rights as a student -citizen or as a citizen of a community always come with responsibilities to guide their way of exercising their rights. Knowing and understanding their rights plays a vital role in ensuring that they are exercising their rights properly and that they are not harming others in doing so. - 6.2 Promoting and Practicing Respect. Respect plays a vital role in our lives, it serves as a foundation to maintain our lives in harmony. Knowing and understanding the concept of respect will be of great help in their way of life. In this way, they will be able to live a harmonious life as a student-citizen. - 6.3 Promoting and Practicing Inclusivity. Once a student -citizen understands and practices the concept of respect, they could pursue to promote inclusivity. A community can have people of various races, religions, genders, beliefs, and identities. However, this does not make them less of a person or as a citizen of a community. As student-citizens, while they are at a tender age, they must understand that their differences with other people do not make anyone less of a person who doesn’t deserve the same rights and responsibilities as a citizen of the community. Promoting inclusivity within a community can help to maintain a harmonious relationship within the citizens of the community. - 6.4 Promoting and Engaging in Positive Advocacies. As a student -citizen, their voices are louder than it appears. Some may view advocacies negatively due to the nature of the protest. However, advocating for a cause does not always mean it should be done in a harmful way. The purpose and nature of protesting is not always done dangerously. Also, the purpose of advocacies is to help people understand their rights and express their views on relevant issues regarding the said rights. Student - citizens can advocate for changes and improvements within their community in a respectful manner without disruptive or aggressive acts. - 6.5 Lead with a Heart of a Leader Who Truly Cares. Student -citizens can start leading within their respective schools with the heart of a leader who truly cares. Being a student doesn’t limit them from staying as a student, as most schools have various clubs and organizations that students can participate in. Leading is a step forward when the leader does what they can to promote and foster a peaceful organization within a community for a positive cause. Alongside their respective organization’s mission and visions, their leader’s willingness to guide their fellows must be always present. 7. What initiatives can student-citizens undertake to promote good citizenship within their school or community? Student-citizens can provide initiatives for the following activities as part of fostering good citizenship in their school or community: - Provide active leadership or participation in service projects such as tutoring, community clean -up, or support for local charities as a means of solving problems and demonstrating concern for the greater good. - Encourage mutual care and cooperation through initiating or participating in community outreach programs that provide service for the welfare of less fortunate members of society. It is a Filipino virtue, after all, to help one's neighbor. - Show integrity and honesty in both academic and personal affairs so one can serve as a good model and gain trust from schoolmates and community members alike. - Initiate or participate in discussions and forums that would help solve issues affecting the school or community and thereby improve understanding and collective problem-solving. - Devote a continuous learning process, through research on new topics, asking questions, and keeping up with current events. This will keep one up to date and able to discuss intellectually. - Take responsibility for your actions and duties, such as meeting deadlines, fulfilling promises, and contributing to group activities, to show reliability and accountability 8. How do societal issues, such as inequality or access to education, affect student citizenship? - Societal issues, such as inequality and limited access to education, can significantly impact student - citizenship. Inequality, characterized by disparities in wealth, opportunity, and social status, can create a sense of marginalization and disengagement among students, leading to decreased civic participation and a diminished sense of belonging (Oakes, 2005). Furthermore, limited access to education can hinder students’ ability to develop critical thinking skills, knowledge of civic processes, and a sense of agency, ultimately limiting their potential to contribute meaningfully to their communities (Darling - Hammond, 2000). These societal challenges can create a cycle of disadvantage, perpetuating inequality and hindering the development of active and engaged student-citizens. For LO4 1. How does the value of "Bayanihan" (community cooperation) contribute to uniting Filipinos in times of need? - As it helps connect a community together through all things. Through “Bayanihan”, people, especially Filipinos, help each other, it connects a community, a “bayan” if you may. Through “Bayanihan” we Filipinos become one, as we are raised to be empathetic t owards others, it is in our nature to help. Through disasters, “Bayanihan” becomes a way to save people, as we risk our own lives to help save others’. Through wars, “Bayanihan” has always been a Filipino way of being united, as it helps with raising morale. “Bayanihan”, is not just a way of uniting, it is a tradition, and it helped us Filipinos to go through obstacles that alone we cannot cross. 2. How does the value of "Pagkakaisa" (unity) help Filipinos overcome societal challenges? - The Filipino value of ‘Pagkakaisa’ (unity) plays a crucial role in overcoming societal challenges. It fosters a sense of community and shared purpose, enabling Filipinos to work together towards common goals. Unity empowers individuals to transcend their differences and find common ground, strengthening social cohesion and resilience. When faced with adversity, such as natural disasters or economic hardships, Filipinos often unite to provide mutual support and assistance, demonstrating the power of collective action. Unity also facilitates effective governance and social change, as it enables diverse stakeholders to collaborate and find solutions to pressing issues. In essence, ‘Pagkakaisa’ is a cornerstone of Filipino culture, providing a foundation for overcoming challenges and building a stronger, more resilient society (National Commission on Culture and the Arts, 2023). 3. In what ways does the value of "Pakikipagkapwa" (concern for others) promote harmony among Filipinos? - “Pakikipagkapwa” is one of the oldest and strongest values in Filipino culture, representing our unique way of showing care for others. It promotes harmony among Filipinos by encouraging mutual respect and equality, regardless of differences. This value is based on how we treat others, and it often influences how others respond to us. Additionally, "Pakikipagkapwa" cultivates empathy by encouraging people to share and understand one another’s feelings, leading to greater compassion and consideration. Practicing this value helps build a deeper understanding and mutual respect between individuals, fostering stronger bonds. 4. How does the value of "Makabayan" (patriotism) inspire Filipinos to work together for national progress? - It makes Filipinos act towards the common good and what is good for the country. Being “Makabayan” indicates willingness towards researching which candidate to vote for at the time of election, fighting for our own rights towards our sovereignty and the resources we have, and taking pride in our nationality even when outside the nation. Furthermore, people who are “Makabayan” would produce researchers who would be willing to conduct research examining native resources such that we could preserve and use them and lawmakers who would pass laws that solve relevant societal issues. In other words, having the value “Makabayan”, would create cohesion between Filipinos who would work together and act as one to promote prosperity through diligence and innovations. For Voting: 1. What are the rules when voting? - The Voter’s Registration Act of 1996 in the Philippines outlines the process for voter registration. Eligibility requirements include being at least 18 years old, being a Filipino citizen, having resided in the Philippines for at least one year and in the place where you plan to vote for at least six months prior to the election, and not having any disqualifications.

Who are to vote? - Voting for officials is a serious responsibility that can impact thousands of lives, making it a decision that should be approached with care. Elections are anticipated events because they offer an opportunity to enact meaningful change in our community. However, if we are not well-informed about who to vote for, how can we be sure we are making the right choices? Responsible voting begins with thorough research on each candidate’s background, including their approach to situations and their ethical and moral alignment with the betterment of the community and the country. Another important factor is the candidates’ proposed platforms, which should be carefully evaluated to determine whether they are realistic and beneficial plans or empty promises. Ultimatel y, there are many factors to consider when choosing the right candidate. As citizens, it is our duty to be informed and responsible in our decisions, as our votes will affect not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us. 3. What is the importance of voting? - Voting determines our choice as to who would represent our views towards the good of the country. But it could also mean many things such as: voting is also a responsibility, it is how we value our nation as if it is our life. Additionally, it also represents our own tool in fighting injustice and abuse of power. From the perspective of the candidates, voting is crucial so as to determine what policy to implement and what change would the citizens like. Therefore, it is imperative to say that every citizen should vote not only for their themselves but for nation and its future.
