History and Types of Civil Societies

The United Nations fully recognized the

importance of partnering with the civil society in
advancing development agenda in any parts of the
world that needed such action. Being the third estate
it is expected that the civil society has no innate
motives that may affect the delivery of programs to the
expected recipients.

Its history may be traced back to

the time of the Sophist philosophers who
believed that wisdom may be learned. It
was a reaction to the issue on immoral
and abusive leaders at the helm of the
government. The Sophists believe that
through discourses on wisdom persons
may be able to acquire the most
important quality a leader must have.

The Greeks and the Romans went to continue the discourses with intention
to come up with the general view on the dynamics of human relations. Consequently
they arrived at the idea of civility being directed towards the concept of common good
and responsible citizenship. In the modern era, civil society take on a more dynamic
personality covering all aspects of physical and social realities. It is now associated
with actions intended to bring out
issues for public debates and effect
changes in social structures.

Civil society represents all aspects of social groupings and interactions. But
in general sense it may be categorized into different types depending on the nature
and causes each represent. There are civil society who actively engaged on issues
related to politics, human rights, economics, climate and environmental justiceThere
are also those who maintain a stand on matters related to and cultural tolerance,
and faith related concerns. Civil society actions are carried out by community people,
religious and professionals.

Civil Society Movements in the Philippines

The basis for civil society in the Philippines was founded from the Filipino
concepts of pakikipagkapwa or holistic interaction with others and kapwa or the
inner self (ADB-Civil Society Briefs Philippines. 2013). Written records show that the
modern concept of civil society was introduced by the Christian Missionaries in the

country in the 16th century. The missionaries established institutions that will help
protect the welfare of the people, although limited at that time to the elites.

The Katipunan, a revolutionary movement established in the latter part of the

19th century was an example of a civil society of national scope. Jose Rizal also
attempted to invoke the collective power of the people for social and political change
by establishing the La Liga Filipina.

The civil society in the country has been actively engaging in the efforts to
push for social, cultural, economic and political issues. Because of their staunch
commitment to their purpose, many civil society groups have developed hostile
relationship with economic and political institutions.

Trade Unions

The biggest organization of labor unions in the country is the Trade Union
Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) which was established in 1975. It is affiliated with
other international organizations such as the International Confederation of Free
Trade Unions and the International Trade Union Confederation. The TUCP believed
in the significant roles of workers in the development process. For the workers to
become productive members of the community, their welfare has to be recognized
and promoted.

Women’s and Gender

The traditional views that relegate women on the lower level of social echelon
helped create an atmosphere of abuse against women. Civil society movements
believed that eradicating such mindset is one of the steps towards the creation of a
gender tolerant society. And the movement shall not only be confined in small
pockets of socio-political organization. It shall be done on a wider scale since women
has significant part to the development of the entire country.

Legal Network for Truthful Elections (LENTE)

It is a network of volunteer lawyers, law students and paralegals from different

parts of the country. The volunteers were trained and deployed to monitor elections.
In the process they bring to open
different elected related problems
for public discourse and for actions
from the competent authorities and
concerned groups or individuals.
