Article IV CITIZENSHIP

Reviewer

Citizenship it is a legal relationship between a person and a country if you are a citizen of a country, you have
the right to live there, work, vote, and pay taxes

for this episode did you know that there is a difference between citizenship and nationality if you are not aware
of this listen carefully.

Nationality is simply the country where you came from. For example, Jesse is from the Philippines, so she is
considered as a Filipino.

it is also important to take note the other person can be a national of one country, but she could also hold
Citizenship of another country. For example, Gaffney's was born in the Philippines whether Filipino parents
Decided to live in the United States for better opportunities, from this example we can say that Japanese has a
Filipino nationality, but she is also a US citizen for she is living in the United States and a legal citizen of that
now.

Two recognized forms in acquiring citizenship, By Birth, and naturalization

By Birth s is further subdivided into two weeks first is what we call Jus Soli it is a Latin term which means the
law of the soil, this is a rule let the citizenship of a child is determined by the place of birth.

the second one is what we call jus sanguinis it is a Latin term which means the law of blood this is a rule that
the citizenship is determined by blood relations the second form of acquiring citizenship is through
naturalization.

the kinds of Filipino citizens under the Constitution

First those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adaptational this Constitution.
Second the natural-born citizen these are the citizens of the Philippines from birth without having to perform
any act of war or perfecter Philippine citizenship.

How can you be a natural-born Filipino citizen?

Philippine nationality law is based upon jus sanguinis. Generally, if you are born to at least the one parent who
is a Filipino citizen at the time of your birth you're born with a Philippine citizenship.

look at these examples, first Xia's mom is a Filipino and her dad is an American is she a natural-born
Filipino?
the answer is a very big yes!

second example let's meet kay she is an illegitimate child of her Filipino father does she be considered as
a natural-born Filipino? the answer is yes! take note of this, a child born of a Filipino father or Filipino
mother running the child is legitimate or illegitimate and still and natural-born Filipino.

for our last example, Laika she was born in America, but her parents are Filipinos is she and natural-
born Filipino? the answer is yes! if the child is born in another country but her parents are Filipinos she will
still be considered as a natural-born Filipino. In the case of Lika she is qualified for dual citizenship

The Third Kind of citizens under the 1987 Philippine Constitution are the Citizens Through
Election, these are the people weren't before January 17, 1973, all Filipino mothers who elect Philippine
citizenship upon reaching the age of majority
Under the 1935 Constitution, The Charles’s mother was married to a foreigner was born an alien and remains an
alien until he elects Philippine citizenship after reaching the age of majority, this rule was changed. Under the
1987 Philippine Constitution a Filipina does not lose her citizenship by her marriage to an alien.

Last are the Naturalized Citizens, aliens are foreigners can become Filipino citizens through naturalization or
the Process of allowing a foreigner who lives in one country to become a citizen of another country. However,
they must first renounce the original citizenship before they become naturalized Filipinos.

There are three ways for aliens to become naturalized citizens of the country

First is A Direct Naturalization this is further subdivided into three weeks administrative naturalization
Judicial naturalization and Direct Acts of The Congress

let's discuss Administrative Naturalization this applies to native-born aliens who lived in the Philippines all
their lives who never saw any country and thought they were Filipinos; this follows RA 9139 or the
administrative naturalization law of 2000.

Here are the qualifications:

First must be at least 18 years old,
Second must be born and have lived in the Philippines,
Third must have good moral character and must believe in the constitution,
Fourth must own a real estate in the Philippines for not less than five thousand pesos or have some lucrative
trade profession a low fall occupation,
Fifth, must be able to speak and write in any Filipino dialect,
Last the minor children of school age must be enrolled in the school's prescribed by the law.

The second way is The Judicial Naturalization if a foreigner is not qualified for administrative naturalization,
then he will have to go through judicial naturalization which follows Commonwealth act 473 or the revised
naturalization law

Here are the qualifications:

First must be at least 21 years old at the hearing of the petition
Second must reside in the Philippines for at least 10 years
Third must have good moral character and must believe in the constitution
Fourth must own a real estate in the Philippines for not less than five thousand pesos or have some lucrative
Trade profession and local occupations.
Fifth must be able to speak and write in English or Spanish and any one of the principal Philippine languages.
Lasts the minor children of school age must be enrolled in the school's prescribed by the law

The last way and the direct naturalization are through a Direct Act of The Congress.
Legislative naturalization is quite rare, and this applies only for aliens who have made outstanding contributions
to the country.
The second way of becoming a naturalized citizen is through Derivative Naturalization.

The relative citizenship is defined as obtaining one's citizenship from or through another person you can be
any of the following: wife or naturalize husband, alien wife of a natural-born citizen, or a minor child of
naturalized parents.
It is also, important to take note that naturalized citizens cannot enjoy the following:
first dual citizenship
second run in any political position

let's move on to the effects of marriage to a foreigner

Citizens of the Philippines who marry aliens shall retain their citizenship unless they renounce it now.

let's talk about the loss of citizenship

Filipino citizenship is not forever, Filipinos may lose citizenship voluntarily and involuntarily.

First, it’s voluntarily also called as expatriation it is a process of living your country and living in a new one.
It May be through naturalization in a foreign country, renunciation of citizenship, subscribing to an oath
of allegiance to support the constitution or the laws of a foreign country.

The second one is involuntarily these are the following ways where you can involuntarily lose your Filipino
Citizenship:
First cancellation of certificate of naturalization by the court, and second if you are a deserter of the Philippine
Armed Forces.

Reacquisition of lost Philippine citizenship

Citizenship maybe reacquired here are the several ways of reacquiring citizenship:
first Naturalization
second Direct Act of The Congress
third Repatriation or the recovery of original citizenship, this is made by making a allegiance to the republic of
the Philippines

for our last topic let's talk about Dual Citizenship versus Dual Allegiance many people are confused between
Dual Citizenship and Dual Allegiance

let's define these two terms

Dual Citizenship means you are a citizen of two countries at the same time.
For example, a child born in the United States with Filipino parents can have a dual citizenship, because United
States follows Jus soli, and his parents are also Filipinos where Jus sanguinis is following the child is legally
both a Filipino and an American

On the other hand, Dual Allegiance refers to the situation in which a person simultaneously owes loyalty to two
or more states what the Constitution prohibits is Dual Allegiance not Dual Citizenship.

COMMUNITY PROFILING
Community Profiling- provides advocates with a descriptive insight
about the attributes and conditions of a community.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT IN COMMUNITY PROFILING
 Need Assessment- helps determine what the community
considers valuable and what problems and issues should be
addressed.
 Resource Assessment- helps the community be informed about
resources that can be accessed to address the needs of the
community.
Participatory Action Planning. Involves the open and inclusive
engagement of groups and individuals in a community who have decided
to pursue a goal or solve a problem.
Evaluation Design- enables implementers of the plan to revisit,
countercheck, and monitor the progress of implementation.
Resource mobilization- is an important process that deals with
necessary steps in raising, maintaining, and sustaining community report.
Plan Implementation- refers to the phase where actual and concrete
implementation of tasks activities are done.
Monitoring- focuses on the status and progress of tasks and activities in
the course of implementation of the community action plan.
THREE TYPES OF EVALUATION
Process Evaluation- is periodically conducted(typically
mid-way of a planned project or program); it allows
communities to learn from the implementation process
and make adjustments to ensure strategy’s effectiveness.
Summative Evaluation- is conducted after the
completion of the plan or the end of the
project/program.
Impact Evaluation- is concerned with the outcomes
of the project/program/intervention, particularly the
change that has been incurred.
ETHNOGRAPHY AND THE
FIELD PRACTICUM
is a branch of anthropology and the systematic study
of individual cultures. In contrast with ethnology,
ethnography explores cultural phenomena from the
point of view of the subject of the study.
 is a qualitative research method in which the researcher
studies a group not only by observing the group, but also
by participating in the activities of the group.
FIELD PRACTICUM
is the field education program designed to
integrate classroom study with practice in a social
work setting.
is, thus the culminating activity that gives weight to
immersion. This allows the student to directly observe ,
participate, and experience the context of communities.
Descriptive Information- refers to accurately documented factual data and the setting and
conditions in the community.
Reflective Information- Are thoughts, ideas, questions and concerns of the researcher during his
or her field work in the community.
WRITING FIELD NOTES
Here are some tips in writing field notes for both descriptive and reflective information.
Following the steps enumerated below should help you in writing a descriptive field note:
 Describe the physical setting of the community.
 Describe the community's social environment and how community members interact or live in
that social environment. In observing the community, look for patterns of interactions,
frequency of interactions, and direction of communication patterns, including non-verbal
communication of community members, as well as behavioral events that may include
collaboration, decision-making, and conflict.
 Describe the participants (community members) and their
assigned roles in the setting (community).
 Use the point of view or perspective of the participants
(community members) to describe or interpret the meaning of
your observations.
 If possible, use exact quotes from the participants that you can use
in your research. Use a recorder, video camera, or smart phone to
record the statement of participants and your observations.
 Take note if your presence in the community has an impact on the
social environment and behavior of participants.
