What is Citizenship?
Citizenship is a term denoting membership of a citizen in a political society? Which
membership implies, reciprocally, a duty of allegiance on the part of the member and duty of
protection on the part of the State. (De Leon). Citizenship denotes the link between a person and a
state or an association of states. It is normally synonymous with the term nationality although the
latter term may also refer to ethnic connotations. Possession of citizenship is normally associated
with the right to work and live in a country and to participate in political life. A person who does not
have citizenship in any state is said to be stateless. Nationality is often used as a synonym for
citizenship- notably in international law- although the term is sometimes as denoting a person’s
membership of a nation.

What is Good Citizenship?

Good citizenship means “huwarang mamamayan” in Filipino. Good citizenship is living by

the values of cooperation, patriotism, hard work, respect for others, respect for the law and
government, truth, freedom, love equality and peace. Good citizens are law-abiding, helpful to others
in their community, and have good personal traits, such as patience, honesty, and understanding
toward other people.

Rights with Obligations

Citizen should realize that for every right there must be a corresponding duty. It is true, they
have rights of which is they cannot be deprived of, but they have also duties which they must not
neglect. If the people are aware not only of their rights but also of their obligations, there will be les
misunderstanding and less conflict in the society. One of the reasons for the turmoil and ferment in
many countries is the attitude of demanding one’s right under the law and yet forgetful of one’s duties
as a citizen.

Rights become fully available for enjoyment only when all the citizens, without exception,
comply loyalty with all their obligations. The rights to life, liberty and property, for instance, are but
partially for enjoyment so long as there are members of the political community who are deficient in
that necessary compliance.

What are Factors determining citizenship?

The modem sense of citizenship is usually based on one or more of these factors:

 Parents are citizens- If a person has no or both parents who are citizens of a given state,
then the person is normally a citizen of that state as well. Citizenship granted in this fashion is
referred to by the Latin phrase jus sanguinis meaning “right of blood” and means that
citizenship is granted based on ancestry or ethnicity, and is related to the concept of a nation
state common in Europe. A person could be born outside of the physical territory of the
country, but if his or her parents are citizens, then the child is z citizen as well. States normally
limit the right to citizenship by descent to a certain number of generations born outside the
state. This form of citizenship is common in civil law countries.

 Born within a country- Many people are presumed to be citizen of a state if they were born
within its territory. Citizenship granted in this fashion is referred to by the Latin phrase jus soli
meaning “right of soil”. This form of citizenship is common in common law countries and
originated in England where those who were born within the realm were subjects of the king.

 Marriage to a citizen- Citizenship can also be obtained by marrying a citizen, which is termed
jure matrimoni.

 Naturalization- States normally grant citizenship to people who have immigrated to that state
and have resided there for the given number of years. Sometimes aspiring citizenship may
have to pass a test, swear allegiance to their new state and renounce their prior citizenship.
