 I.INCLUSIVE CITIZENSHIP AND PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE
a1. Citizen – refers to the members of a political
community that have submitted themselves to the
government, for the promotion of common good and
protection of rights.
A2. If citizens demand to be kept by the State, the citizens likewise have their
obligations to the State, as follows (De Leon, 2011, 214-221):
2.1. To be loyal to the Republic
2.2. To cooperate with duly-constituted authorities
2.3 To contribute to the development and welfare of the State
2.4. To engage in gainful work
2.5. To defend the State
2.6. To uphold the Constitution and obey the laws
2.7. To exercise rights responsibly and with due regard for the rights of others
2.8. To register and vote
 A3. The Philippine constitution
denotes that “the prime duty of the
government is to serve and protect the
people. The government may call upon
the people to defend the State and, in
fulfillment thereof, all citizens
provided by law, to render personal
military or civil service”
(Section 4, Article II).

 II.SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
Social movements consist of large numbers of
people, who, through deliberate and sustained
efforts, organize to promote or resist social change.
At the heart of social movements lie grievances
and dissatisfactions.
Proactive social movements promote social change
because a current condition of society is
intolerable. In contrast, reactive social
movements resist changes in society that they
perceive as threatening.
1.Classifications of Social Movements
David Aberle classified social movements into four broad categories
according to the type and amount of social change they seek.
a.Two types seek to change people but differ in terms of the
amount of change desired:
1)Alterative social movements seek to alter only
particular aspects of people (e.g., the Women's Christian
Temperance Union);
2)Redemptive social movements seek to change people totally (e.g.,
a religious social movement such as fundamental Christianity that
stresses conversion).
 b.Two types seek to change society but also differ in
terms of the amount of change desired:
1)Reform
2)ative social movements seek to reform only one part
of society (e.g., animal rights or the environment);
3)Transformative social movements seek to change the
social order itself and to replace it with their own
version of the ideal society (e.g., revolutions in the
American colonies, France, Russia, and Cuba).Five

 The organization declines, but there may be a possibility of
resurgence. Some movements cease to exist; others become
reinvigorated with new leadership from within or from coming
into conflict with other social movements fighting for the
opposite side of the issue, (e.g., social movements relating to
abortion).
