The judicial branch of the government of the Philippines is the primary agency that handles issues
concerning rights and interpretation of law. The 1987 Philippine Constitution, the basis of all laws in the
Philippines, says that the judicial power will be vested in the Supreme Court and all lower courts. It also states
that the judicial power includes the duty of the courts of justice (1) to settle actual controversies involving rights

Associate Justices. The Court of Appeals is the second highest court. Court of Appeals receives, reviews, and
resolves appeals on the decisions of Regional Trial Courts, as well as the Office of the Ombudsman. The Court
of Tax Appeals focuses on reviewing and resolving appeals concerning cases related to tax, tariffs, and other
monetary obligations to the government. Sandiganbayan has jurisdiction over criminal and civil cases involving
graft and corrupt practices and such other offenses committed by public officers and employees. The lower
courts such as city and municipal courts have original jurisdiction over cases such as, but not limited to,
violations of municipal ordinances, gambling, assault, estafa to a certain amount, malicious mischief,
trespassing, and illegal possession of firearms.

Composition
1. Chief Justice 4. IBP Representative

In the Philippines, some small cases are settled in the quasi-court of barangay. There are also big cases
involving celebrities, politicians, and famous personalities. Last, 2020, was a year of memorable issues. One of
the most notable was the non-renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise that led to its shut down amidst the pandemic.
There was the case of Jonel Nuezca, a cold-blooded former policeman who shot a mother and her son in front of
many people including his own daughter. The sensational case of Dacera, a flight attendant who was found
dead inside the comfort room of a hotel. The case was followed for weeks and controversies were unfolded until
the court’s decision arrived.
People are born equal according to natural laws and everyone deserves justice.

DECENTRALIZATION AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE
MELC: Explain the roles and functions of Local Government Unit (LGU)
Obiectives:
1. Identify the different levels f local government
2. Explain the functions of local government units
3. Discuss how decentralization affects governance
Decentralization of the government occurs when there is a transfer of authority, responsibility, and
resources from the central government to lower government units. This is important when the geographical
area of a country and its population is too large for the central government to handle.
“The local government ‘is the lowest level of elected territorial organization within a state’ that has the
dual function of providing local public services and implementing national welfare policies. Barangay is the
lowest political unit in the Philippines.
It was in1991 through the Local Government Code that the local government units were given the clear
mandate to govern and promote welfare of their constituents. Each local government has the power and
responsibility to promote agricultural support services, engage in research and development, provide health
services, facilitate environmental protection, ensure social welfare, and sponsor public works and the
establishment of facilities.
COMPOSITION OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT

1. Province – provides supervision to the municipalities and component cities and under it and
performing services for the national government.
2. Cities and Municipalities – basic units of the local government that delivers services for the people
who live together in a community.
3. Barangay – sub-municipal unit that provides for face-to-face interaction among the people.
Each unit is created based on income, population, and land area, and may be abolished on the same
criteria. Elected local government officials have three-year terms. Local officials are entitled to three
consecutive terms.
AIMS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991

1. To transform LGUS (Local Government Units) into self-reliant communities and active partners in
nation-building by giving them more powers, authority, responsibilities, and resources.
2. Hopes to achieve economic development at the regional and local levels by giving them more
freedom in carrying out their programs that are suitable for their areas.
FUNCTIONS AND POWERS OF HEADS OF PROVINCES, CITIES/MUNICIPALITIES, AND
BARANGAYS
1. Exercise general supervision and control over all programs and projects.
2. Enforce all laws and ordinances and the exercise of its corporate powers.
3. Initiate and maximize the generation of resources and revenues and apply the same to the
implementation of development plans, program objectives, and priorities.
4. Ensure the delivery of basic services and the provision of adequate facilities.
5. Exercise such other powers and perform such other duties and functions as may be prescribed by
law.

INTRODUCTION:
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you understand the concepts, your
role and contribution contributions of civil society societies and social movements to Philippine democracy. The scope
of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in
which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The module contains:

Lesson 1 – Explain the concept, role, and contributions of civil society societies and social movements to
Philippine democracy
After going through this module, you are expected to:
4. Define Civil Society and Social Movement
5. Create a plan on how to help the country in times of crisis in personal ways.
6. Realize the importance of one individual in a society he/she belongs.
Civil Society and Social Movements
CIVIL SOCIETY
Haywood (2000) describe Civil Society as “Realm of autonomous groups and associations .”Reflecting the
Public and private divide”. Civil Society is a crucial factor in development and shaping of events in a country. It can
influence both government and economy. It can unravel , weaken, or even destroy governement and state
sructures.
Today, Philippine civil society organizations are widely seen as some of the most vibrant and advanced in the
world. The Philippines has the largest number of NGOs per capita in Asia, and many believe that if civil society has
contributed to democratization anywhere, it is in the Philippines. Many of the key international NGOs and networks are
based in the Philippines and headed
Unique features of a Civil Society are:
1. Institutional space 2. A distinc realm of values 3. Institutional mechanism
There are many types of CSOs in the country,the more important types are
1. People’s organizations 2. Development NGO’s 3. Cooperatives
People’s organizations
People’s organizations are membership organizations representing marginalized groups and often organized
based on sector, issue, or geographical area.
Development NGO’s
Development NGOs act as intermediate agencies and institutions that typically operate with a full-time staff
complement and provide a wide range of services to primary organizations, communities, and individuals.
Cooperatives
A cooperative is an association of persons who have voluntarily joined together to make “equitable contributions to
the capital required, patronizing their products and services and accepting a fair share of the risks and benefits of the
undertaking in accordance with universally accepted cooperative principles:
• It is difficult to put a definite number to all the CSOs in the country, partly because many are unregistered, but
also because there is no single official and updated database on those that register with government agencies
• In addition, studies that attempt to count civil society groups use various definitions and may therefore include
or exclude various types of CSOs
• The range of registered and non-registered CSOs at 249,000–497,000.It was estimated that 40% of these
organizations were non-registered.
CSO’s in the Philippines
Engage in a broad range of activities:

1. Education 2. Community development 3. Enterprise development and employment
generation
4. Health and nutrition; 5. Law, advocacy, and politics 6. Sustainable development
The Most fundamental attributes of CSOs are:

1. They are voluntay 2. They are non-govermental 3. They are non-profit
The Legal Framework for Civil Society

Page 7
The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, forged and shaped in the after month of the 1986 People Power
Revolution, clearly recognizes participation and empowerment, including the important role of CSOs. This may be
seen in several provisions of the Constitution, most prominently in the following:
Article II, Section 23: “The State shall encouragenon-governmental, community-based, or sector organizations
that promote the welfare of the nation.”
Article XIII, Section 15: “The State shall respect the role of independent people’s organizations to enable the
people to pursue and protect, within the democratic framework, their legitimate andcollective interests and
aspirations through peaceful and lawful means
Article XIII, Section 16: “The right of the people and their organizations to effective and reasonable participation
at all levels of social, political and economic decision-making shall not be abridged.The State shall, by law,
facilitate the establishment of adequate consultation mechanisms.
Another important law for CSOs

Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act of 1997
Which created the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), a coordination and oversight body headed by
the president of the country to ensure that social reform addresses the basic inequities in Philippine society. It is
composed of the heads of 14 major government departments, the presidents of local government leagues, and 14
basic sector representatives. The 14 sector representatives are elected by and accountable to assemblies of sector
CSOs and their elected sector council.
NGO Principles, Mandates, and Standards

The large number of NGOs has given rise to concerns about the ability of the government to regulate all these
organizations and to ensure that resources channeled to them are being used for their declared goals and objectives.
Factors which Facilitated the Pursuit of Civil Society Advocacies
1. The nature of the political dispensation in the country is transitioning from authoritarianism to democracy.
2. Nature of the leadership.
3. The global environment
General Impact of Civil Society on the Philippine Political Landscape
1.The generation of interest and participation in the advocacies of civil society. Thus, it can build its
constituencies.
2. Forging of CSO alliances with government agencies allies in the executive and legislative branches of
government.
3. Institutionalization of CSO advocacies within government policymaking.
4. Institutionalization of CSO advocacies in the international arena.
5. Constitutional reforms.
Philippine Civil Society Organizations
An often-used definition of civil society and how it can be differentiated from the state and the business sector
is that “the State concerns public action for public good, the Market is about private action for private good, while civil
society is private action for public good.
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan)
Bayan was created in 1985 by more than 1,000 mass organizations. It fights for national and social liberation
against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism. Bayan fights for the nationalistic and democratic needs of
the people through legal and militant forms of struggle, and, though it does not participate in armed struggle, Bayan
respects the right of others to take such an option
SOCIAL MOVEMENT
Defined as a particular form of collective behavior wherein the impetus to act comes from the attitudes and
aspirations of its members. Rather than necessitating a formal membership, being a member of a social movement
demands deep-seated conviction and commitment.
Social movements are a specific type of group action in which large informal groups of individuals
or organizations work for or against change in specific political or social issues.
For Hague and Harrop, Social Movements consist of people from outside the mainstream who come together
to seek a common objective through an unorthodox challenge to existing political order.
Social Movements seek to introduce what they believe are reforms and positive changes to the existing order.
Classification of social movement
1. Reformative social movements – A reformative social movement advocates for minor changes instead of
radical changes. For example, revolutionary movements can scale down their demands and agree to share
powers with others, becoming a political party.
2. Revolutionary social movements – Revolutionary movement is a specific type of social movement dedicated
to carrying out revolutionary reforms and gain some control of the state. If they do not aim for an exclusive
control, they are not revolutionary.
3. Redemptive social movements – A redemptive social movement is radical in scope but focused on the
individual.
An individual-focused movement seeks to affect individuals
• Methods of Work: Peaceful movements utilize techniques such as nonviolent resistance and civil
disobedience. Violent movements resort to violence when seeking social change.

Page 8
• Range: Global movements, such as Communism in the early 20 th century, have transnational objectives. Local
movements are focused on local or regional objectives such as preserving an historic building or protecting a
natural habitat
Difference between social movement and a spontaneous mass action:
 A social movement carries with it an action contemplated to fulfill a recognized social goal.
 A spontaneous mass action seeks to unsettle or overthrow the existing political order, like EDSA revolts.
According to Haywood (2207), New Social Movements are different from the Traditional Movements in 3
aspects:
1. The supporters of new social movement are young, better -educated, and relatively affluent, rather than
oppressed and disadvantaged.
2. The supporters of new social movements are more concerned with the quality of life, rather than with
economic advancement.
3. The supporters of new social movements are adherent of common new left values and beliefs, while the
traditional have diverse interests and rarely works.
The Role and Contributions of Civil Society Organizations and Social Movement
1. Civil Society Organizations and Social Movements lead the fight against government abuse. Without the
help and active involvement of these groups, many government anomalies would not be uncovered and
remain enacted upon.
2. Civil society organizations and social movements inspire reforms in, and positive changes to, the rigid
structures of government.
3. They promote worthy causes. They also educate people on the value of ensuring the survival and
propagation of endangered life.
4. They promote an avenue for dialogue and consensus rather than open confrontation and violence. They
stand in the way of radical and violent movements and ideologies.
5. They help redirect government priorities and policies. These groups constitute pressure blocs which help
the government draft its plan of action.

Active Citizenship
INTRODUCTION: This module was designed and written for the senior high school specifically for the HUMMS
students. It helps you develop a differ understanding and skills to relate a previous knowledge to a new
understanding of citizenship. Understand rights is accompanied by duties and responsibilities. Moreover, this
module develops you the MELC (Most Essential Learning Competencies) that is for you to further understand and
explain the importance of active citizenship.
THE GOOD CITIZEN:

Rosenau (1997) classified citizen according to individual’s self- environment orientation. These are self-
centered, apathetic, ideological and democratic citizen. Self-centered citizens tend to ignore the needs of others and
only do what’s best for them. For example: In this pandemic situation a business man who loss a revenue, planned to
continue the unfinished works of his construction business without prior documents to open. Apathetic citizens on
the other hand is showing lack of feeling or interest, in participating activities. Insensitive and lack a sense of
purpose while an act is being done. Most of the time apathetic citizen is passive. For example: In new normal
education a grade 12 student does not care to pass or not the level. Ideological citizens based the act on the society’s
common beliefs, norms, and participation. This person takes sides based on the majority decisions as a safe haven to
act. Example: Nowadays, Racism has been viral in social media, Filipinos and other Asian races were discriminated in
west countries for the corona virus was originated in Asia. Although there are laws to protect the citizens from these
discrimination, it is prevalent in a particular area and time when people supports the idea. Lastly, Democratic
citizens have a list of good qualities and attitudes important functioning democracy. Among the four types of citizen
democratic is better result to engage citizenship. But subjective to personal and group orientation.
QUALITIES OF GOOD CITIZEN:

Galston (1991) listed four types of civic virtues of citizen that are required for a flourishing democracy. It is
the morality or a standard of righteous behavior in relationship to a citizen's involvement in society.1. General
virtues (courage, law-abidingness, loyalty), 2. Social virtues (independence; open-mindedness), 3. Economic virtues
(work ethic; capacity to delay work gratification; adaptability to economic and technological change, and 4. Political
virtues (capacity to discern and respect the rights of others, willingness to demand only what can be paid for; ability
to evaluate the performance and willingness to discourse. (Galston 1991, 221-4 cited in Kymlicka and Norman
2010,7).
A blog journal posted by Fabrega introduced 10 ways to show good citizenship. This can also be helpful in
strengthening one’s qualities.1. A good citizen is patriotic, it is being proud to the country, its cultural values and
identity. 2. Modeling good qualities, one’s people sees it they might follow it, then it channeled to one person to
another. 3. Be productive, it makes positive contribution not to oneself but to the society. 4. Be informed, remember
that knowledge is power 5. Be vigilant, to ascertain that government is doing well. 6. Be socially active, participation
to solve the problem makes the problem less complicated. 7. Be politically active, exercise your rights. 8. Be a
mentor, make your own mark of legacy. 9. Be well-rounded, be more productive develop more skills and acquire
more information 10. Make yourself order, start small create order in everything.
Active Citizenship
Active citizenship is someone who takes a role in the community (Tisch,2010). With the issues confronting
the society active participation is important. It’s an old saying the body cannot fully function without its parts.
Therefore, every citizen must uphold the law and perform its duties and responsibilities supporting the governments
good projects or programs to achieve common goals.
This is not actually not hard for us Filipinos’ because it is our inherent characteristics based on the concept
of pakikipagkapwa (holistic interaction of others) and kapwa (shared innerself). A sense of having common identity,
belongingness, the togetherness and not being alone. One’s empathy to others makes the kawanggawa (charity) and
the basis of many groups or organizations specially NGO’s. Where had a great impact in civic participation. As
Chinese philosopher Confucius once said the following: “To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in
order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order; we must first
cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.”

Once upon a time, an elephant came to small town. People had read and heard of elephants but no one in the
town had ever seen one. Thus a huge crowd gathered around the elephant.
Six blind men also lived in that town, they had never seen an elephant before, and they were eager to find out
just like the rest of the people in that town. The people love the blind men and one suggested to give the blind men a
space and could go and feel the elephant with their hands. Some people assist the blind men and place them in
different places surrounding the elephant.
After that, they sat down and began to discuss their experiences. One blind man said the elephant must like a
thick trunk of a tree for he had touched the leg, Another, who had touch the ears of the elephant said it’s a big fan, the
third said its must be a wall for he had touch the body, the fourth who had touch the tail said it’s a thick rope, the fifth
who had touch the trunk said it’s a big snake, and lastly the one who had touch the tusk said it’s a spear.
They sat for hours and argued, each one sure that his view was correct but no one was quite willing to listen
to others. A wise man came and said “Each one of you is correct based on your experience and point of view but each
one of you is wrong too for you have only touch the partial part of an animal. If you try to listen and understand
others point of view together you will all get the idea what an elephant looks like.
