Respondent 1:

Meron si Melchora Aquino, siya yung naging ina ng mga katipunan dahil siya yung
tumutulong sa mga sugatan na katipunero. Nakakamangha dahil kahit na siya ay babae, dahil
mababa ang tingin sa mga babae pero pinatunayan niya na hindi hadlang ang kasarian para
ipaglaban yung Pilipinas. Para sa akin sapat na yung sa gobyerno, siguro umpisahan muna
natin sa mga maliliit na bagay lalo na sa mga pag sunod sa mga batas yung mga ganon
maipapakita mo yung pagiging nasyonalismo. Para sa akin Oo, katulad nalang halimbawa sa
cebu kapag pinapatugtog yung National Anthem sa simpleng pagtigil mo lang sabay pagtingin
sa watawat ng Pilipinas nagpapakita na iyon ng nasyonalismo. Oo naniniwala ako na
makatutulong siya dahil tayo kasi bilang kabataan dibat sinasabi ni Rizal na ang kabataan ang
pag asa ng bayan, duon sa salita niya na yun pinapakita niya yung kahalagahan ng ating
bansa na kung saan kailangan natin ipaglaban kung ano yung meron tayo.

Respondent 2:

Oo si Jose Rizal ang pagkakaalam ko kasi ginamit niya yung pag sulat sa papel, sinulat
niya yung mga naranasan ng mga Pilipino sa mga espanyol. Para sa akin ito ay inspirasyon
dahil wala silang advance technology dati pero nasusulat nila yung mga nangyayari at hindi
na iyon mabubura. Para sa akin parehas na kailangan ibig kong sabihin bilang ikaw mismo sa
sarili mo dapat kumilos kadin para sa bansa mo at gumawa ka ng mga simpleng hakbang
pero ayus lang naman yung mga ginagawa ng gobyerno at suportado tayo doon dahil para
naman iyon sa ating bansa. Para sa akin siguro sundin natin yung mga batas na para sa tingin
natin ay nakakabuti sa atin at may ibang bansa na parang may sarili kang opinyon at mayroon
kang kalayaan kung ano yung gagawin mo tungkol doon. Oo dahil sa Pilipinas meron tayong
malalaking museo at nandoon yung mga kasaysayan at ang halimbawa nito ay ang Rizal
Museum. Para sa akin bilang nag aaral na din at tinuturo na din ng aming guro, nakakatulong
ito dahil hindi natin mabilang yung mga estudyanteng inspirasyon ito at sumunod sila sa buhay
ni rizal.

Respondent 3:

Si andres Bonifacio, ipinaglaban niya ang kalayaan ng mga Pilipino sa kamay ng mga Kastila.
Kinakailangan parin natin gumawa para sa bansa. Tulad na lamang ng pagsunod sa batas
natin. Sa batas trapiko tumawid sa tamang tawiran. Bilang isang estudyante obligation ko mag
aral ng mabuti. Para makatulong hindi lang sa pamilya kundi para na din sa bansa. Ang
nasyonalismo at makabayan natin ay buhay na buhay pa. Kagaya nalang buwan ng wika na
ipinagdiriwang tuwing Augusto. Para mamulat at pahalagahan natin ang sariling wika. Sa
pagiging makabayan, tuwing ipinapatugtog ang ating pambansang awit tayo ay humihinto
bilang paggalang at pagmamahal natin sa bansa. Ang pag-aaral ng buhay ni Rizal, ay
napakahalagang matutunan. Para maalala natin ang mga ginawa niya sa bansa at siya ay
mahalagang ihimplo na maging isang mabuting mamayang Pilipino.

Respondent 4:

Ang ambag ni Jose Rizal sa Pilipinas ay mahalaga at hindi matatawaran. Bilang

pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas, nagawa ni Rizal na magbigay-inspirasyon sa mga Pilipino
na ipaglaban ang kalayaan at pagkakaisa ng bansa sa panahon ng kolonyalismo. Isa sa mga
pinakamalaking ambag niya ay ang kanyang mga akda tulad ng Noli Me Tangere at El
Filibusterismo. Sa pamamagitan ng mga nobelang ito, binigyan niya ng boses ang mga
Pilipino at ipinakita ang mga kahalagahan ng edukasyon at pagbabago sa lipunan. Syempre
e-encourage yung mga kapwa ko mag tapos ng pag aaral despite sa problemang nang yayari
kasi yung edukasyon susi siya para sa magandang kinabukasan. Yan yung di mananakaw
sayo. Para sakin sa kabila ng mga pagsubok at hamon, hindi naman lahat ng mga Pilipino ay
nawawalan ng nationalism at patriotism. Marami pa rin ang patuloy na nagpapakita ng
malasakit at pagmamahal sa bansa sa pamamagitan ng iba't ibang paraan. Meron pa rin mga
taong patuloy na kumikilos at nagsasagawa ng mga adbokasiya at aktibidad upang mapabuti
ang kalagayan ng ating bansa. Ito ay patunay na kahit na may mga pagkukulang, patuloy pa
rin ang pag-alab ng pagmamahal sa Pilipinas sa puso ng iba't ibang indibidwal. Yes. Actualy
yung Jose Rizal Lifes and Works yung buhay ni Rizal ay isang halimbawa ng katapangan at
paninindigan, sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga akda tulad ng Noli Me Tangere at El
Filibusterismo, nagkaroon ng kahalagahan at pagpapahalaga tayong mga Pilipino sa ating
sariling wika, kultura, at kasaysayan.

Conclusion

Batay saming nakuhang impormasyon sa pamamagitan ng pag interview. Sila ay

nakapagbigay ng mga iba't-ibang mga national heroes at sa mga nagawa nila sa bansa natin.
Tayo ay huwag umasa lang sa mga gobyerno lamang. Dahil tayo ay isang mamayang pilipino
at may obligasyon tayo upang bumuti ang bansa. Ang nasyonalismo at makabayan natin ay
buhay na buhay pa. Ito ay iniingatan at minamahal. Ang pag-aaral sa buhay ni Dr. Jose Rizal,
ay napakahalaga nito upang malaala natin ang kanyang mga ginawa niya sa bansa natin. At
isa siyang ihimplo sa mga mamayang Pilipino.

of our government and will undoubtedly affect how our generations see freedom
of speech?

Final act: Reveal to the participants the actual purpose of the activity
and that the petition is fake.
Response

Respondents 1:
Q 1. Nagd-disagree ako, kasi parang sa feeling ko or sa sariling opinion ko it is not necessary
to eliminate that totality of Filipino subject sa college student kasi it will in fact forbid the fact
meron tayong still sa curriculum natin na mas required pa na pag-aralan `yong lenggwahe
natin although I understand the thought na since college na tayo dapat alam na natin `yong
English subject I still believe na hindi ito dapat totally eliminate `yong subject so at least siguro
one subject to five subjects `yong mag mas stay sa college curriculum since sa college naman
natin marami naming units na pwede i-take kaya it is not necessary rather na i-removed lahat
ng filipino subject.
Q 2. Hindi naman necessarily kapahamakan pero nag ne-near din siguro siya sa ganon kasi
we`re talking about the future of the student and the state itself.
Q 3. So sa tingin ko malaki `yong epekto ng petition na `yan since nabanggit ko nga kanina
na `yong maapektuhan ng desisyon na `yan is not only the citizen of the country but the state
itself aswell as the economy so kaya kapag halimbawa napasa nga `yan and marami `yong
nag agree may possibility na may malaking pagbabago sa curriculum hindi lamang ng college
students or sa education sector kundi sa iba pang sector na related sa ekonomiya ng bansa.
I do agree naman may positive outcome pero it will also diminished more negative outcome
so mas kaya nagd-disagree ako kasi nga I still look forward sa negative outcome if ever.
Q 4. So yes, I agree diyan sa sinabi mo kasi `yong this simple petition will have a domino
effect hindi lamang sa isang sector kundi sa sunod sunod na and that will not hinder naman
our freedom of speech or our freedom in anyway because since we are in democratic country
so majority in anyway might win.

Respondent 2:
Q 1. Hindi, kasi parang binabaliwala na lang natin `yong Filipino kung tatanggalin natin siya.
Q 2. Parang `di na natin nirerespeto `yong sariling lenggwahe natin.
Q 3. Oo, siguro mas bigyan natin ng pansin `yong Filipino subject okay lang magdagdag pero
wag natin isa walang bahala `yong Filipino subject.
Q 4. Hindi, kasi we are free to express our views and feeling lahat tayo ay may karapatan na
magsalita para saating sarili.

Respondent 3:
Q1. Oo, dahil para saakin ay hindi ito imporntante dahil hindi naman ito konektado sa ibang
course.
Q2. Oo, dahil saaking palagay ay may mga ibang tao na hindi agree sa mga opinyon ko maari
nila akong saktan dahil sa mga sinabi ko tungkol dito.
Q3. Oo, dahil sa petition na ito maaring matanggal ang Filipino subject dahil magkakaroon ng
idea ang mga government na meron palang mga taong katulad ko na agree sa pagtanggal ng
filipino subject sa kolehiyo.
Q4. Oo, dahil malalaman ng pamahalaan na marami saating mga Kabataan ang pabor na
tanggalin na ang Filipino subject sa kolehiyo. Dahil dito ay nagkaroon ang mga Kabataang
tulad ko na magakaroon ng opinion dahil sa petition na ito.

Respondent 4:
Q1. Oo, dahil para saakin ay hindi naman ito konectado sa ibang courses at dagdag lamang
ito sa workload ng mga estudyante.
Q2. Oo, dahil maari nila akong saktan dahil sa mga sinabi ko, at maari rin ito makaapekto sa
aking mental health dahil sa mga sinasabi nila tungkol saakin.
Q3. Oo, dahil sa petition na ito maaring mabago ang systema ng kolehiyo at pakinggan nila
ang ating opinion na tanggalin na ang Filipino subject.
Q4. Oo, dahil sa petition na ito malalaman nila na may mga tao palang sang-ayon sa
pagtanggal sa Filipino subject. Isa pa, pwede rin nila magamit itong petiton kapag meron
silang mga bagay na gusto malaman sa opinyon ng ibang tao.

Conclusion
Parehong disagree and hindi nag sign ang dalawang respondents sa Fake Petition na ginawa
namin, base sakanila mas dapat natin maging priority ang Filipino subject dahil ito ay ating
lenggwahe. Hindi natin pwede tanggalin dahil parang `di natin nirerespeto ang sarili nating
lenggawahe. Nabanggit din ng Respondent 1 na may possibility na may malaking pagbabago
sa curriculum hindi lamang ng college students or sa education sector kundi sa iba pang sector
na related sa ekonomiya ng bansa kung mas marami ang mag aagree sa Fake Petition na ito.
Nasabi rin ng Respondent 2 na dapat mas bigyan pansin ang Filipino subject, okay lang
magdagdag ng ibang mga units ngunit wag eliminate ang Filipino subject. Sa kabilang dako,
may mga taong pabor na alisin na ang Filipino subject sa kolehiyo dahil para sakanila ay
dagdag lamang ito sa workload ng mga estudyante. Isa pa, hindi naman daw kailangan ang
Filipino subject dahil hindi naman ito konektado sa ibang course.
ACTIVITY 3: YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A
SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN!

Activity Overview
Second-class citizen: a person belonging to a social or political group whose rights and
opportunities are inferior to those of the dominant group in a society.

Filipinos are treated as a Second-class citizen the moment the Spaniards arrived at
our shore. Kayumanggi skin was then treated as an ugly trait, because fair and whiter
skin is more accepted, as it indicates Spaniards blood. We were discriminated against
by our own Pinoy brothers and sisters if we are “local looking” or if we have
Kayumanggi skin and don’t speak barely speak Spanish. We were called all sorts of
names that indicates our “second-class citizenship” e.g. being called “indio” or
someone who is native from the Philippines.

Purpose of the Activity

• To let the participants, feel how it is to be a second-class citizen in their own
country.
• Understand how the Filipinos felt when treated like the “indio” by the Spaniards
in the olden times.

Materials
• Response Sheet
• Pencil and eraser
• Phone for video recording
• Interview guide/ questionnaire
Activity Procedures
Have at least 10 participants via zoom or via google classroom (it is important that all
the participants see each other, so if they can’t be on the same room physically, it is
better if they are on a zoom meeting at the same time with camera open).

The Activity Leader will facilitate the “activity”, the participants will not be made aware
of the real intent of the activity. The facilitator, will have a cover-up story regarding the
reason why the participants are called to the meeting:

Cover-up Story: You are going to shoot a mini film series about the life of a typical
Filipino student that will eventually become a Hollywood star. The purpose of the
meeting now is to cast actors and actresses for your mini film.

How to induce the feeling of a Second-class citizen? The facilitator, or the casting
director, will now, deliberately choose white and fair skinned student as the
protagonist, or leads and the Kayumanggi skinned student as supporting role, or as a
background role such as the janitor, the fast-food crew, passersby or non-speaking
role.

For the participants to feel that there is a bias whilst choosing the cast, the
casting director, must say these phrases in a different form or another: “ikaw,
maputi ka, pwede kang maging bida” or, ikaw na lang gagawing kong bida, kasi
maputi ka. For the Kayumanggi skin: ikaw pwede kang janitor, o kaya ‘yung
guard sa may Mall, o ‘yung dumadaan lang sa background.

It is important for the participant to feel that you are favoring those with whiter and
lighter skin students than those with Kayumanggi skin, because we are going to
interview them after, on how they felt about the casting and that is where the actual
activity lies, on how they felt being discriminated against just because of their skin
tone/color.

Record their response (via video recording and via pen and paper: refer to the
response sheet provided), ask them how the casting was, do they feel discriminated?
Why or why not? (refer to the interview guide.)

After the activity takes place, reveal to the participants the true nature of the activity
and that there was no mini film to shoot, and that it’s real purpose is to make them feel
like an “indio”, those times when Filipinos were made to feel like a second-class
citizen by the Spaniards that colonizes the country.
Interview Guide
Questionnaire:

9. How was your experience about this activity?

Follow up question: Ask the participants if they felt they were
discriminated against? or felt that they were given favors, then proceed
to question no. 2.

10. Do you think what occurred earlier now has something to do with skin
tone/color?
Follow up question:
a. if yes, ask the participants what happened in the casting to come up with
that conclusion, then proceed to question no. 3.
b. If no, ask what could be the reason why there was a bias in the casting
of characters for the mini film, then proceeds to question no. 3.

11. Do you think this happens in different set-up too?

Follow up question:
a. If yes, ask if they can give some examples, then proceed to the final
question.
b. if no, ask why they think this only happens in casting actors and
actresses, then proceed to the final question.

12. Final Question:

Do you think these circumstances will remain to be experienced by other
Filipinos in the near future?

Final act: Reveal to the participants the actual purpose of the activity
and that the casting is fake.
Response

Partcipants 1:
Q1. Para sa akin hindi siya favor sa mga tao. Lalo na sa roles na binigay nila kasi nag judge
sila based on skin tone. Kaya parang hindi siya pantay-pantay sa mga kinuha nilang roles.
Q2. Opo.
Q3. Opo, halimbawa po yung mga tao po ngayon lalo na sa mga tao kasi, sa mga
nagtatrabaho nabibilad sila sa Araw, nangingitim sila at kapag sumasali sila sinasabihan sila
na hindi sila tumatanggap ng maitim, kailangan nila yung actor na medyo maputi yung kulay
na based on character na kailangan nila gampanan.
Q4. Yes po, for me lang po kasi maraming Pilipino po ngayon yung nakakaranas ng ano
yung sa racism po na jinujudge po sila based on color na hindi po nila nalalaman ano po ba
talaga yung tama.

Partcipants 2:
Q1. Para sa’kin medyo exciting, hindi naman, tini-take ko siya as compliments dahil yung
ibang security guard malalaki yung katawan at marunong humawak ng baril.
Q2. Maaari po, kasi base sa security guard nagbabase sila sa kulay at pangangatawan mo
kung capable kaba maging security guard. Kasi alam naman natin na yung mga security
guard is babad sa araw minsan, hindi lang lahat ng security guard is nasa mall naka aircon
kaya siguro naisip nila na mag base sa kulay.
Q3. Opo, kasi nasa Pilipinas po tayo eh uso po dito yung color discrimination.
Q4. Yes po, I think kasi hindi lang naman po sa Pilipinas nangyayari yung tinatawag nating
racist yung bumabase sa panglabas na kaanyuan o bumabase sa kulay ng tao.

Partcipants 3:
Q1. Ayos naman maganda naman, ah para sakin hindi kasi kanya kanya tayong gusto,
kunwari director may gusto yan sa pagpili ng role director ang magpapasya noon.
Q2. Somehow oo, kasi nakikita naman natin sa mga napapanood natin sa mga artista
palaging mapuputi at yung maiitim parang binabaliwala nalang nila.
Q3. Oo, katulad nga ng sa ibang bansa may mga words tayong bawal sabihin na tungkol sa
kanila dahil ang tawag don ay racism and then saatin yung mga aeta saatin nakakatanggap
pa rin ng panlalait kahit yung ibang aeta naman ay magaganda at gwapo.
Q4. Syempre oo naman, kasi yung nagsasabi satin na mindset na yung nakalakihan natin
like yung mga nakakasama natin ay mapanglait talaga mahahawa din tayo doon, so in the
future kung ano ang maipapasa ng generation by generation iyon ang makukuha sa future
ganoon.
ACTIVITY 4: THE BRIBE

Activity Overview
Republic Act 6713 (The Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and
Employees) prohibits public officials and employees from soliciting or accepting, directly or
indirectly, any gift, gratuity, favour, entertainment, loan or anything of monetary value from any
person: (a) in the course of their official duties; or (b) in connection with any operation being
regulated by, or any transaction which may be affected by, the functions of their office.

Philippines is synonymous for corruption and it’s not something we are proud of, but
no matter how the administration change and the laws to prevent it, it’s still as
prominent as a rooster in the break of dawn; loud and unashamed.

Purpose of the Activity

• To see if participants will fall for a bribe and for them to understand their own
psyche re their vulnerability to fall for a bribe.
• Understand how easy it is to manipulate results of any research thru bribe.

Materials
• Pencil and eraser
• Google Survey Forms
• Phone for video recording
• Interview guide/ questionnaire
• Participant form, consent form and debriefing form

Activity Procedures
Find at least 10 participants and ask them if they can answer a google form survey,
the google form will be about the SAFETY OF STREETS IN THE PHILIPPINES AT
NIGHT.

First Part:
Invite the all the participants to a google meet or zoom meeting then explain to them
the cover-up story of what the survey is about.

Cover-up Story:
A research funded by a private organization are asking Filipino to answer a survey
regarding the Safeness of the streets at night in the Philippines.

Second Part:
Discreetly send a message to each of the participants, pretending to each of them that
they’re the only one who received a personal message. Asked them if they can rigged/
manipulate their survey response.
If they agree, proposed a reward that will be given to them, upon compliance, e.g.
monetary reward or any gift certificate.

Sample Personal Message:

Hi, <<Participant Name>>, I’m one of the Researcher’s representative, we want to
asked you if you could CHANGE your answer on the survey, and make it all
positive, e.g. if you think the Philippines isn’t safe for walking at night, then please
change it, if you already think it is safe no need to change your answer.

Last Part:
After the activity takes place, reveal to the participants the true nature of the activity
and that there was no actual research re safeness of streets in the Philippines, and
that it’s real purpose is to make them understand how rampant bribing in the Philippine
system is and how easy it is to do it.

Interview Guide

kailangan din nila yung pera.

Response 3. Gusto kong sabihin na mali yung Gawain nilang yun. Hindi lang naman yung
yung paraan para manalo. Kase kung ikaw talaga ang mananalo at uupo sa pwesto, ikaw.
Hindi mo na kailangan pa magbayad ng tao, kase kung karapat-dapat ka talagang umupo sa
pwesto at nakikita yun ng mga tao, ikaw ang iboboto nila.

maaring maging future ko sa bansang to.
Response 3. Syempre sasabihin kong hindi maganda yung ginagawa, kase vote buying yun
e. Kase ginagawa nila para manalo sila kahit hindi naman sila karapatdapat. Bakit ba nila
ginagawa yun, para magkaroon sila ng pwesto at para sumweldo? Kase kung maganda ang
intensyon ng isang politiko sa kanyang pag takbo hindi nya gagawin yun.
Response 4. Oo, wala namang nagbabago kada botohan e. Yan na yung nakasanayan nila
at naging way nila para manalo sila. At meron din kaseng mga tao na tumatanggap pa din ng

Response 3. Gusto kong sabihin sa kanila na hindi tama yung ginagawa nila. Kase kung sila
talaga ang nararapat umupo sa pwesto, sila ang gugustuhing iboto ng mga tao.
Response 4. Oo, kahit hanggang ngayon laganap pa din mga nabili ng boto. At sa palagay
ko mahirap ng alisin sa kanila yun, yun na ang nakasanayan nila at yung mga tao naman yung
iba ginagawa ng hanap-buhay yun kapag alam nilang malapit na yung botohan.
Participant No. 6
Response 1. I feel insulted when they ask me to change my answer for the offer. It made me
feel sad because I choose to participate in answering their Google survey forms with honest
answer.

Response 2. Yes, it still happens in our country in this kind of system. As I observe during
election time mostly of the candidates used to buy the vote of individuals. Vote buying is one
of my examples.
Response 3. I just want to say by reminding them to stop this kind of habit or practices
because this is not good in our country and to the community. Don’t manipulate for powers
being in the government is the one of the good examples to people in looking up their good
service which also inspired to the community by doing good.
Response 4. I think yes, because discipline comes first in ourselves if we are not honest how
we can be honest to other? Doing some this kind of manipulation leads to injustice and people
are not deserve in their kind of performance as a leader.

Participants No. 7
Response 1. First, honestly, I don't want to participate, but it reminds me that I'm also a
student. I know it's so difficult to find participants, which is why I accept their invitation to be
part of their study. My experience answering this study gave me insight, and I know I have
some ideas about their study, but it also gave me additional knowledge.
Response 2. Yes, it still happens in our country. The first of those is the corruption. Everyone
sees and notices the corruption in their community. They are doing some projects, but we
never know that they corrupt some budget on that. Especially with the corruption that is
happening today in our country, even though a lot of people are suffering, they are still doing
their habit because they know they are the ones who can benefit.
Response 3. As students, we are also aware of what they are doing. We are the people in
the community who always vote for them because they are manipulating us. For example,
they are doing well in our community, like implementing scholarships in the society, and they
also show that they are clean and good in the eyes of people, but we never know that the
money that they spend is from their corruption. So, I should say that those people in politics
who are still adopting this kind of attitude and habit should stop manipulating people because
it will not help our country. If one is not committed to his or her responsibility, how about those
people in his or her community? Because a true leader always does what is good for her
followers.
Response 4. For me, yes, because sometimes in the community, the attitude of our leader is
also the attitude of his or her followers. Once the leader is not working on how to be good, his
or her followers can also do the same. Last but not least, if the leader can learn how to be
disciplined and committed to their responsibility, that will also affect the attitude of their
community. Because here in the Philippines, we never know when the time will come to have
a good leader who will make our country better.

Response 1. Opo,nainsulto ako dahil sariling sagot ko iyon at ideya base sa mga napapansin
naririnig sa balita at nakikita ko sa pamamahala ng ating bansa nagalit ako sapagkat sinasagot
kolang naman ng totoo at tama yung mga tanong sa google form na pinasagot nila, at hindi
naman kailangan bayaran para lang maging positibo ang mga sagot sa google form at bilang
isang participants sa pag sagot ng google form kailangan na tapat ka para sa iyong mga sagot
at dapat hindi tumatanggap ng suhol katulad sa mga nangyayari sa panahon ngayon sa ating
bansa.
Response 2. Isa sa halimbawa nito ay tinatawag na “vote buying” o binabayaran ng mga
politico ang mga tao para sila ay iboto at manalo sa halalan ito ay isa sa mga paraang
pandaraya na hindi makatarungan na talamak na nangyayari sa ating bansang pilipinas.
Response 3. Ang gusto ko lang sabihin na itigil nila ang ganitong gawain maging patas sa
laban, huwag mandaya, at gawin nila ang tama at hindi sa maling paraan. Dahil maraming
paraan para manalo sa pulitika mga serbisyo ng tapat at totoo at iyon ang kanilang ipakita sa
mga tao na maging halimbawa sila bilang isang tagapamahala ng bansa.
Response 4. Sa aking palagay opo, mananatili parin itong kasanayan pagdating sa pulitika
kung ito ang paraan nila para manalo. At dahil sa ganitong paraan hindi ito magandang
halimbawa na ginagawa at pinapakita bilang isang tagapamahala ng bansa.

Participant No. 9
Response 1. Yes, I feel sad and insulted first of all I just want to participate their Google form
survey honestly and I don’t want to change my answer to pay back me a money or anything,
because I believe that all I want is to answer honestly and I respect myself and stand up of
what I answer already. I’m not a type of person that easy to get of whatever they want to.
Response 2. Yes, it still happened right now in our country. One of the terms that heard from
people surrounding is corruption. Everyone sees and notices what are really happened in our
country. Our leader creates some projects, but people knows that half of their funds are be
corrupted. Because of that governance of our country many people suffering.
Response 3. As a one of their respondents as a student, we all be aware of what they doing
and don’t be tolerate in this kind of habit. If you one of the people who work in government or
politics you need to be responsible of what you doing and be honest to provide what people
deserve to received. And don’t use you power and money to buy their respect and dignity. All
I want to say that you need fight righteous.
Response 4. For me, yes because last election some of provinces and cities I have notice
and heard that they have a vote buying happened to win the election. In this kind of situation
many people not agree on this doing but they better to quiet than to speak because there’s a
lot of leaders have use their connection and power to fight you.

Participants No. 10
Response 1. My experience for this activity was okay. If someone offers a bribe, it is important
to handle the situation with care and integrity. Accepting a bribe can have serious legal, ethical,
and professional consequences, and can damage reputation and credibility.
Response 2. Yes, Bribery and irregular payments in return for favorable judicial decisions are
quite common. Although judicial officials are independent by law, rich and powerful groups
and individuals wield control and influence over the judicial system and influence the outcomes
of civil and criminal proceedings.
Response 3. Accepting a bribe can have serious legal, ethical, and professional
consequences, and can damage your reputation and credibility.
Response 4. Yes, if the person who is in the position will being responsible and Honest to
their position.

Conclusion
The participant’s response is almost the same. They are all disappointed and felt
insulted because of the bribery happened. They are all agreed that, nowadays, some people
are still doing the bribery. They also agreed that politicians are still doing bribery specially
when the voting season comes. They also agree and same thoughts about people still
accepting “suhol” to other people because they are also benefiting to those exchange or
rewards.
