THREE KINDS OF CITIZENSHIP
1. POLITICAL CITIZENSHIP
=It means showing respect for the law and government. One can be a
good political citizen by carrying out duties such as voting, paying taxes,
and obeying traffic rules.
2. ENVIRONMENT CITIZENSHIP
=it involves caring for the environment. Practice environment
citizenship by doing things like conserving water, using fuel wisely,
planting a tree and putting garbage in the disposal.
3. SOCIO-ECONIMIC CITIZENSHIP
=It is about caring for the community and supporting the economy. A
person can show socioeconomic citizenship by buying products made in
the Philippines, engaging in legitimate livelihood programs, and
volunteering in church group, health center, and school.
WHAT IS GOOD CITIZENSHIP?
Good citizenship means “Huwarang Mamamayan” in Filipino. Good
citizenship is living by the values of cooperation, patriotism, hard work,
respect for others, respect for the law and government, truth, freedom,
love, equality, and peace. Good citizens are law-abiding. Helpful to
others in their community, and have good personal traits, such us
patience, honesty, and understanding toward other people.
RIGHTS WITH OBLIGATIONS
Citizenship should realize that for every right there must be a
corresponding duty. It is true, they have rights of which they cannot be
deprived of, but they also have duties which they must not neglect. If
the people are aware not only of their rights but also of their
obligations, there will be less misunderstanding and less conflict in the
society. One of the reasons for the turmoil and ferment in many
countries is the attitude of demanding one’s rights under the law and
yet being forgetful of one’s duties as a citizen.
Rights become fully available for enjoyment only when all the
citizens, without exception, comply loyalty with all their obligations. The
rights to life, liberty, and property, community who are deficient in that
necessary compliance. Conversely, the enjoyment of rights becomes
ample and real to the degree that the citizens willingly carry out their
obligations (De Leon 2011).
THE NEED FOR PARTICIPATION FOR GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Participation means being involved in something that you believe in.
Participation in the decision making, or governance, of your barangay,
city, municipality, or province is an important part of being a good
citizen. Participation in governance means cooperating with other
people toward a common goal that will help everyone in your
community. There are two kinds of participation: direct and indirect
participation. When you practice direct participation, you are likely to
attend barangay assemblies, or help your local government to plan
programs and projects. Direct participation is every effective way of
being involved, indirect participation is choosing somebody to represent
your needs and wishes. Voting in barangay elections is an example of
indirect participation is an essential part of good governance. (Local
Government Academy 2004)
 GOOD GOVERNANCE, A KEY TO PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
Governance is the ‘output’ of what government do. According to
the United Nations Economic and Social Council foe Asia and the Pacific
(UNESCAP), governance is a process of making decisions and then
putting this decision into action. Local governance involves decision-
making process at the local government level. Good governance is
decision making which result in better standard of living for everyone.

viewed as stakeholders, so the government should care about their needs
and interest, they should be including in planning. Implementation and
monitoring.

government. There are no secrets.
4. ACCOUNTABILITY
=When the government can work with different groups in explain to the
people why they have decided.
5. CONSENSUS ORIENTED

community, particularly minority groups. To reach a general agreement
about something.

opportunities to improve his/her quality of life.
7. EFFICIENCY
