 PREFACE
This Portfolio holds the activities we did in recent weeks (Weeks 1-
5). This folder also contains the Written Outputs and Performance
Tasks, Best Outputs, and also the Module Activities we did during
those weeks. The aforementioned activities are about the lessons
provided in Weeks 1-5. I was able to finish these tasks by careful
analysis to determine the topics and having time management to
finish them at the right time. This portfolio is mainly about
Philippine Politics and Governance.

This portfolio shows the knowledge that we built based in

governance and eventually will be applied by us students in the
latter part of the course. It also prepared and developed us to
succeed as leaders, managers, analysts and administrators in
meeting change and challenges of governance in the public and non-
profit sectors.

Hence this portfolio discussed the concepts of governance according

to different authors and institutions; the key actors in governance as
well as the characteristics of good governance. A governance model
of implementation is also explored as a theoretical alternative that
offers the potential to synthesize disparate models and bring
networks into the governance paradigm.

The process I have taken to complete this task is very reflective one,
which I have at times found difficult to understand the lessons but
I’m able to find a way to learn and enjoy doing these school works.

Learning Task 1.5 Compare Mo!
1. The Ideologies of my Mother and
Father differ because they both have a
different mindset especially in
managing us. My mother is more
generous with the things and activities
we want to do but she still gives limits
about it and my Mother verbally shows
more love for us. My Father, on the
other hand, is strict and he really
wants us to follow the things he wants,
he shows his love for us by protecting
us from harm.
2. I am more in favor of our Mother
because she really shows that she
cares for us and what is happening in
our lives because she takes time to talk
to us, it’s simple but it makes us feel
special, it also gives reassurance to us Reactionism
that no matter what problem we are
facing, she's still there to give time to
bond with us.
Learning Task 2.5 Guide Question
1. Every political ideology has its role
in helping our state. In social
studies, a political ideology is a
certain ethical set of ideals,
principles, doctrines, myths or
symbol of social movement
institution, class, or large group
that explains how society should
work, offering some political and
cultural blueprint of a social order.
2. There are two main types of
ideologies: political ideologies, and
epistemological ideologies.
Political ideologies are sets of
ethical ideas about how a country
should be run. Epistemological
ideologies are sets of ideas about
the philosophy, the Universe, and
how people should make
decisions.
Learning Task 3.5 Compare Ideology
Fascism, fascism is by far the most anti-
democratic philosophy it centers everything
around a single party dictator and his state
and gives no credence to the will or needs of
the people.

SAS 4
1. I can apply the overall definition of
these three to my everyday life
because it compares to our having
new knowledge on a daily basis,
knowledge coming from other people,
even from other countries. And I can
also share this knowledge with other
people to help them.
2. For me, these stand for the difference
of each person to each other. While
there are things that are inevitable
that we have in common, there are
still things that make us different
from each other in different aspects.
3. Inclusive nationalism is located
nearer to center of the political
spectrum, whereas exclusive
nationalism is further to the right. The
key dividing line between them is
their attitude towards others.
Exclusive nationalism centers upon
the need to scapegoat 'others' for that
nation's social ills.
4. Through the Inclusive Concept we will
know our civic participation because
it is the key issue in the Social and
Community Context domain. Civic
participation encompasses a wide
range of formal and informal
activities. Examples include voting,
volunteering, participating in group
activities, community gardening and
anything that will benefit our society.
5. Exclusive Concept is a key to
providing knowledge about our
History. History matters because it
helps us as individuals and as
societies to understand why our
societies are the way they are and
what they value. We live in societies
with complex cultures, traditions and
religions that have not been created
on the spur of the moment.
6. These four essential elements are
important and we need to have
knowledge about it because: The state
is a human institution. So population
is its primary element. In modern
times, the citizens are bound together
by residence on a common territory.
Land, water and air space comprise
the territory of a state. Government is
the political organization of the state.
It is the concrete and visible
instrument of state power. By far the
most important characteristic of the
state is its sovereignty. It is the
characteristic which distinguishes the
state from all other associations. It
denotes the supreme power or the
final authority from which there is no
appeal.
7. With the constant change in our
world, Globalization has also affected
the socio-cultural aspect of a nation-
state. There are things that are
already used in our society today that
come from different parts of the
world that show our unity and
cultural appreciation to each other

over time but it will be inevitable.
9. It is not about the lack of physical
borders or the elimination of
passports. In fact, it is a higher-order
concept about how people and
organizations could work, transact,
operate, and really live more
efficiently and effectively accessing
resources that they may not have had
before and perhaps at the same time
regardless of their location and time
zone. We should learn to be proud
and appreciate our own country and
appreciate even ourselves.
10. Globalization affects the nationalism
because it will reduce dependence
upon superpowers. Invasions, wars,
defeats and conquests were the
violent manifestations of human
desire and greed to rule over the
world so far.

1. President is considered to be
equivalent to the CEO or the
Managing Director of a company and
Vice President a second in charge as
president of the company.
2. In a workplace we also have a term
here, if you are an employee you can
become CEO after a few years and the
CEO of the company will be replaced.
3. In school, if the teacher is not
available at the moment, the class
president should take over managing
their classroom and his or her
classmates.

Learning Task 3.5 Which of the Following? SAS 1
1. Knowing our rights can help us defend ourselves when some politicians take advantages of
their position. For example, Indigenous people protesting against mining activities, knowing
their rights defends themselves, and can possibly help them to stop the mining activities.
2. Being able to express what you believe accurately and concisely is extremely useful, and
forces you to really look at yourself.
3. Picking which examples to use in your answers to essay questions is really exciting as
something that has happened on the day you are taking your A Level exams can appear in

4. With the knowledge gained from the classroom, we have been able to watch events unfold
worldwide, have seen our leaders' reactions to these events and have come to understand
these reactions as demonstrations of what we have learned.
5. With this in mind, it could easily be said that Government and Politics is the most applicable
subject on offer at any school, and is a subject that people should be encouraged to take due
to nothing less than the way it prepares you for entering the adult world.

Learning Task 10: Apply the Power! SAS 3

1. “Authority, power and wealth doesn’t
change a man. It only reveals him.”
2. The power of people in government
positions is greatly overestimated by
the public, especially in democratic
governments. I would much rather
just be an ordinary multi-billionaire,
and control whatever governmentt
official is instrumental in doing what I
want done.
If I were to assume a government
position, I would be one of those who
did not stay there long. And, all the
good that I did would be shortly
undone by my replacement. However,
fantasies of world domination as a
President will still linger.
