you?

Constitutional Rights, Civil Rights, Statutory Rights, Economic Rights, and
Political Rights. As a Filipino citizen the rights that is important to me is the Natural
Rights of each individual because gives people joy and harmony in their live. If we

Filipinos. It is because we, the citizens always sacrifices our rights for the
betterment of our society. Just like what is happening in the present in which a lot
of establishments were left no choice but to be closed due to the pandemic,
their rights to sell were limited for the common good. The workers in the
establishments became unemployed, and there rights to work was again limited.

ANSWER: Being a responsible citizen needs to be law abiding citizen. Therefore, in my 18
years of existence, I can say that I am a responsible citizen because I live to do
things that I wanted to without violating any rule and law that the government has set.

depend on force or coercion to enforce rules and restrictions on its members. In fact, the use of force
is anathema in a fee society.
