ARTICLE IV -
PILIPINO KA KUNG…. There are basically two types of persons living within the jurisdiction of the Republic of the Philippines: (1) citizens and (2) aliens.
Aliens are people who live within the territory of the
Philippines but “owe permanent allegiance to a foreign country” (Ramirez, 1969).
Citizen meets the qualifications stated under Section 1,
Article IV of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which are: 1. Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this Constitution. 2. Those who father or mother are citizens of the Philippines. 3. Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority. 4. Those who are naturalized in accordance with law. There are two kinds of citizens based on the manner by which citizenship is acquired:
1. Natural-born citizens- Filipino citizens from birth without
having to perform any act to acquire citizenship, as well as those who chose Filipino citizenship in accordance with paragraph 3 of Section 1, Article IV.
2. Naturalized citizens- aliens who became citizens through
naturalization or the legal act of adopting alien and giving him the rights that belong to natural-born citizens. Jus Sanguini - citizenship by birth
Jus Soli – born within a country
Jure Matrimonii - citizenship by marriage
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT World Bank figures show that almost 50% of the world’s population is comprised of the youth (ages 15-24), commonly referred to as the youth bulge, which presents challenges and opportunities to countries with a young population like the Philippines. The problem with looking at the young population as a challenge or as reserves for the future working force of the country is that this approach is passive and can be detrimental. All must realize, even the youth themselves, that (1) the youth have assets life strength, the capability to learn more and their eagerness; (2) the youth collectively can be an asset to both the local and national government if they are to be involved in more meaningful activities. Involving the youth does not mean inviting them, giving them something, providing lectures, or merely enlisting them down as members. Programs and activities must induce youth participation which is divided into four aspects.
1. Information sharing. This is not merely giving lecture or
handing off fliers but information with the goal of facilitating collective and/or individual action. 2. Consultation. Public or private organizations will consult with the youth on certain issues and will take their point of view in the process of decision-making, actions, and advocacies of the organization.
3. Decision-making. The youth are not only asked for their
opinion, but they are enabled to share responsibility to decide on certain issues that may directly or in directly affect them. 4. Initiating action. The youth themselves take the initiative. In such cases, other organizations must provide support to the youth, but only as guide and not to take over the youth groups. Here are some of the practices or organizations that can be created by the youth: 1. Support group for those who are bullied; 2. Support group for other youth and children with disabilities; 3. Environmental protection activities such as tree planting; 4. With their knowledge of mass media and other technology, they can create blogs and pages for information dissemination or certain issues. They can also be critical in reporting abuses of power.
5. Collective action and input for donations to their
school or community; 5. Collective action and input for donations to their school or community; 6. Create programs such as sports training, hiking, and biking groups to engage other youth in more meaningful activities; and 7. Coordination with other groups to provide more manpower in certain activities.
