consciousness and defense preparedness of a youth.

not only of the people but also of the community.

penetrate with power and educated with intelligent as their beau i·dé·al belief.
- Also, youths are the ones who can understand what is going on right now.
Because, today's youth are increasingly aware of the facts and are now
experiencing political problems. That’s why youths are very important today.
​
Why are governance, development and youth engagement inextricably linked? Give
examples relevant to Philippine politics and society.
- The development of government has a bearing on youth participation in social
justice, because our youth are now more aware of social justice, so the
government has now joined them in politics to develop the country in which
they live.
- For example, the government established the SK or Sangguniang Kabataan,
the National Youth Commision (NYC) and the National Service Training
Program.

​
How would you relate the concepts of social movement, citizenship, and youth
participation in relation to the strong state-society interaction?
- I can relate the concept of social movement, citizenship, and youth participation
in relation to strong state-society interactions in such a way that strong
state-society interactions will only develop if the government and its constituents
work together to develop the country. The result will be active youth participation,
citizens engage in political activities, and have effective social movements
because of the stable state-society interactions between the government and its
constituents.
